Description

The global Activated Alumina market size is expected to reach $ 1047 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Activated alumina is a porous, highly dispersed solid material with a variety of excellent properties and is widely used in many fields. It usually appears as white spherical particles with uniform particle size, smooth surface and high mechanical strength. It is generally made of aluminum hydroxide as raw material and is prepared through high-temperature calcination and other processes. During the calcination process, aluminum hydroxide undergoes dehydration and crystal transformation to form active alumina. Different calcination temperatures and times will affect the performance and structure of activated alumina.

Due to its high porosity, it has a high ratio of surface area to weight. It is commonly used as a desiccant, for water treatment, and as a catalyst in natural gas and refining operations.

China is one of the important countries in the world in the production and consumption of activated alumina. With the continuous growth of the domestic manufacturing industry, especially the rapid development of high-tech fields such as ceramics, magnetic materials and electronic devices, and the in-depth promotion of environmental protection policies, the market demand for activated alumina is growing. In 2023, China's activated alumina market has also reached a large scale and is still growing.

In the fields of petrochemicals, fertilizer industry, etc., activated alumina is used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier for catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, synthetic ammonia and other reactions, which can improve reaction efficiency and product quality. With the development of new energy, environmental protection, energy conservation and other fields, the application field of activated alumina will continue to expand. For example, its application in new energy vehicle battery materials, fuel cells and other fields is expected to be further expanded.

Global activated alumina key players include Honeywell International Inc, Axens, CHALCO, Huber, BASF SE, etc. Global top 5 manufacturers hold a share over 50%. North America is the largest market, with a share over 40%, followed by Europe and China, both have a share over 40% percent. In terms of product, sphered form activated alumina is the largest segment, with a share over 90%. And in terms of application, the largest application is desiccant followed by fluoride adsorbent.
