The aluminum deoxidizer market refers to products that are added during aluminum production and processing to remove dissolved oxygen and prevent it from accumulating as microscopic gas pores that cause defects. Aluminum deoxidizers such as cerium, lanthanum, calcium and barium work by reacting chemically with dissolved oxygen to form stable aluminum oxide crystals and prevent hydrogen gas pores from forming. They allow for consistent production of high quality cast and welded aluminum products. The aluminum deoxidizer market is projected to witness significant growth over the next few years owing to increasing aluminum consumption.
The Global aluminum deoxidizer market is estimated to be valued at US$ 432.7 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
