Manganese prices have been stable over the last couple of decades, but it looks like this commodity will be on a steady rise. Fortunately, there is no acute shortage.

Manganese is used as an ingredient to make steel stronger, therefor any corporation or country that is on the cusp of building with steel has to have it. Up and coming countries that are growing such as China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil would have a great need for more manganese so the price trend would have to be going up.
