The prices of Magnesium Powder in the US import market have stabilized in early 2026 and reflected the revival of demand after the sharp price correction in the last month of 2025. The January has marked the start of the first quarter which is a psychological reset for the market participants. The buyers and suppliers of Magnesium Powder have reassessed their inventory covers after the volatile close of the previous year. The steep decline in December was driven by the deferred procurement and cautious procurement behaviour rather than the collapse of demand. The US import market has normalized which was supported by the renewed procurement activity and deliberate effort of the suppliers to recalibrate their offer prices. The transition phase has reflected the shift of inventory strategies and quarterly production cycles to align it with the steady demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. ChemAnalyst anticipates that the prices of Magnesium Powder will increase in the US import market. The strategic engagement with precise market research will help the Magnesium Powder market participants to avail commercial benefits.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
