The global high purity alumina market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 15.2% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The prominent factors accelerating the growth of high purity alumina include rising applications of high purity alumina in consumer electronics such as smartphones and smart wearables, high demand for lithium ion batteries owing to increasing electric vehicles, and surging demand for LEDs in home décor applications. High purity alumina has a wide range of applications such as, it is used as a coating in the lithium battery and applied to the diaphragm between the positive and negative side of lithium battery and act as heat resistant, act as an insulator, prevent the short circuit of power battery. Other application includes in the manufacturing of glass, metal,semiconductor, and used in the manufacturing of li-ion batteries which is used in the electric vehicles(EVs). Moving forward 4N high purity alumina bring condescending cost benefit in comparison to high purity alumina of 5N and 6N. This is the key factor that fuels the demand for 4N in the high purity alumina market. Moreover, increasing penetration of electronic and smart gadgets such as smartphones, smartwatches, and laptops support the growth of the 4N high purity alumina market in the years ahead.

However, stringent government regulations on residues that affects the environment and limited technical expertise are the factors that may restrains the market growth. Moreover, the growing demand for high purity alumina from the emerging economies due to growing medical sector can offer lucrative growth opportunities in the market. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global High Purity Alumina Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the manufacturing and production operations of various industries across the globe, which had drastically reduced the demand for high purity alumina. The impact of COVID-19 has been visible, as the economic operations of developed and developing countries slower down. The countries declared a state of emergency in their territories and, declared a strict lockdown. Consequently, the demand for high purity alumina has slower down, as the automotive and manufacturing industry was drastically affected during COVID-19. The shortage of lithium-ion batteries, which are used in the production of automotive vehicles has halted the production of electric vehicles across the globe.

Segmental Outlook 

The global high purity alumina market is segmented based on the product,technology and application. Based on the product, the market is subsegmented into 4N high purity alumina, 5N high purity alumina, and 6N high purity alumina. Based on the technology, the market is sub-segmented into the hydrolysis, hydrochloric acid leaching, and others. Based on application, the market is subsegmented into LEDs, lithium-ion batteries, semiconductor optical lenses, and others. Based on technology, hydrochloric acid leaching is expected to hold the major market share in the high purity alumina market. Hydrochloric acid leaching is widely used in LEDs bulbs and sapphire glass. Further, production of high purity alumina through the process of hydrochloric acid leaching minimizes the overall production cost. Owing to its wide application, the demand for hydrochloric acid leaching is expected to grow over the forecast period.
