According to a recent report by Reports and Data, the activated alumina market is projected to reach USD 1.43 Billion by 2027. Activated alumina is used in water treatment as a point-of-use or point-of-entry product, where it absorbs impurities instead of filtering them. Its efficiency depends on various factors such as the type of impurity, alumina properties, and water quality. Activated alumina is particularly effective for treating source water with high levels of dissolved solids or sulfate concentration. However, a drawback is that its regeneration requires strong base and acid solutions, which are not practical for residential use.

With the global population projected to exceed 9.6 billion by 2050, the demand for water is expected to rise. Despite improvements in living standards, water consumption has outpaced population growth.

Activated alumina acts as a desiccant, absorbing moisture from the air and keeping things dry. It can absorb approximately 20.0% of its weight in water at around 50.0% relative humidity. The desiccant properties of activated alumina make it widely used in various industries, including the removal of water vapor from gases in industrial settings. The absorbed water can be released through thermal treatment, allowing the activated alumina to be reused.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the specialty chemicals industry, including the activated alumina market. Demand has decreased across multiple end-use sectors, disrupting global supply chains and affecting manufacturers. The automotive and consumer product industries have been particularly affected, leading to a decline in the demand for specialty chemicals. Supply chain disruptions have prompted chemical companies to adjust manufacturing locations and increase production of critical supplies.

Other key findings from the report include:

  • The beaded form of activated alumina accounted for a larger market share in 2019 and is projected to grow at a rate of 4.8% during the forecast period. Beaded activated alumina is highly durable and can withstand regenerative drying cycles, resulting in a longer working cycle compared to other desiccants.
  • Fluoride adsorbent application held the largest market share in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 5.1% in the forecast period. This method is considered suitable for defluoridation due to its simplicity, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness. However, it has limited regeneration capacity and a slower rate of adsorption.
  • The healthcare application is estimated to have the fastest growth rate of 6.1% in the forecast period. The large surface area of activated alumina is beneficial in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, as it can modify the biological activity of microorganisms and affect their growth.
  • The North American region had the second-largest market share in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 4.7% in the forecast period. Increasing demand for clean water and growing environmental concerns are driving market growth in this region. The export of crude oil and shale gas in the U.S. also contributes to market expansion.

Key participants in the activated alumina market include Porocel Industries LLC, Honeywell International, Sorbead India, Sumitomo Chemicals Company, Axens SA, BASF SE, Sialca Industries, AGC Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Bee Chems, and Shandong Zhongxin New Material Technology Co. Ltd.

In March 2018, CHALCO Shandong Advanced Material Co. announced an expansion of its production capacity, aiming to reach over 900,000 tons annually.
