Asia-Pacific Activated Alumina Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Activated Alumina market is estimated to reach 4.52 million tons by the end of this year and is projected to reach 5.96 million tons in the next five years, registering a CAGR of 5.68% during the forecast period.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the demand for activated alumina was hindered from several segments, such as oil and gas and chemicals, as the nationwide lockdowns in several countries led to a slowdown in demand for certain non-essential end-products. However, the situation recovered substantially in 2021, restoring the market's growth trajectory.

  • One of the major factors driving the market studied is the growing demand from the oil and gas industry owing to the consistent increase in output and overall investments, propelling the demand for activated alumina as an absorbent from the sector.
  • On the flip side, the availability of substitutes in different end-user industries has been hindering the market's growth. For instance, in the water treatment industry, activated carbon and zeolite availability is expected to negatively impact its market growth.
  • Research and development on using activated alumina in the textile and cosmetics industry are expected to offer various opportunities for market growth over the forecast period.
  • In the Asia-Pacific region, China is expected to dominate the market in terms of demand and production owing to the vivid presence of various end-user industries and the availability of sufficient resources that aid in overall production.
