Activated Alumina Market to exceed USD 260 million by 2027

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Activated Alumina Market size to exceed USD 260 million by 2027. Growing new water treatment facilities will positively influence industry growth during the forecast period.
 

Activated alumina is increasingly used in water treatment facilities owing to its low cost and ability to absorb the contaminants instead of filtering them. It is used as a water treatment medium for water containing high dissolved solid levels and sulfate concentration. Growing water pollution is creating tremendous stress on existing water bodies, driving the penetration of water treatment facilities around the world.
 

Increasing demand for clean drinking water owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization has diminished freshwater resources, while some of the existing ones are also on the verge of depletion. Growing environmental concerns along with the need to comply with strict government regulations regarding wastewater treatment around the world are expected to further have a positive impact on the water treatment facilities.
 

The product removes fluorine and various other elements, such as arsenic and sulphur, from wastewater and makes water clean. Moreover, the rising demand for activated alumina for its desiccant property owing to more effective transport and storage of industrial fluids is expected to fuel the activated alumina market share in the coming years.
 

The key raw material used in the production of activated alumina is aluminum oxide, which is derived from bauxite. The difficulty in getting environmental clearance and unviable method for determination of sale price for metallurgical grade bauxite is hindering the auctioning process of bauxite mines in many countries around the world.
 

The sudden import and export of bauxite in the international market has led to price volatility, inducing fluctuations in alumina prices. It may hinder activated alumina market growth.
