The electrolytic manganese flakes market recorded a slight downward adjustment in mid-January 2026. According to market information, the quotation for 99.70% electrolytic manganese metal was reported at USD 2605–2615 per ton, FOB Tianjin Port, down USD 20 per ton from the previous level.
The recent price movement is mainly attributed to cautious purchasing sentiment from downstream steel and alloy producers. Buyers have tended to adopt a wait-and-see approach, focusing on immediate production needs rather than large-scale stockpiling. As a result, transaction activity remained steady but relatively conservative.
On the supply side, overall availability of electrolytic manganese flakes remained relatively balanced. Port inventories and delivery schedules were reported to be stable, with no significant supply disruptions. Meanwhile, production costs showed no major fluctuations, reducing pressure for producers to maintain higher price levels.
Market participants noted that the current adjustment represents a mild technical correction within a narrow price range, rather than a significant change in market fundamentals. Electrolytic manganese flakes continue to be widely used in steelmaking and alloy production due to their high purity and stable performance.
