Alumina Trihydrate Market size was valued at US$ 3,864.9 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% over 2024-2030. Alumina trihydrate is a white, odorless, powdery, solid substance that is commonly used as a flame retardant and filler material in various industries as raw material. It is the hydrated oxide of aluminum and is derived from bauxite ore using the Bayer process. The block crystals of alumina hydrate impart good chemical reactivity and can react with a base as well as an acid. Flame retardant regulations are a driving force behind the revenue growth in the alumina trihydrate market. These regulations, mandated across industries such as construction, electronics, and automotive, necessitate the use of flame-retardant materials to enhance safety. Alumina trihydrate's exceptional flame-retardant properties align seamlessly with these requirements, compelling industries to incorporate it into their products and processes. Its use not only ensures compliance with safety standards but also addresses growing consumer concerns about fire safety.
Moreover, the rising demand for aluminum-based compounds is a driving factor propelling the sales of alumina trihydrate. Aluminum trihydrate is used as a feedstock for the manufacture of other aluminum compounds such as calcined aluminas, aluminum sulfate, polyaluminium chloride, aluminum chloride, zeolites, sodium aluminate, activated alumina, aluminum nitrate. As the use of these aluminum compounds in industries such as construction, electronics, automotive, and textiles continues to increase, the market for alumina trihydrate is also growing significantly. However, in some applications, alumina trihydrate can face competition from other flame retardants or fillers that offer similar or improved properties. This substitution effect can limit the demand for alumina trihydrate, particularly if more cost-effective or technologically advanced alternatives become available. Meanwhile, the electronics industry's rapid growth presents opportunities for alumina trihydrate to be used in insulating materials, enclosures, and connectors, contributing to fire safety in electronic devices. Key manufacturers are announcing launches and acquisitions that further contribute to the market expansion. For instance, in April 2021, CIMBAR Performance Minerals, Inc. acquired the U.S. Barite and Alumina Trihydrate manufacturing assets and business of TOR Minerals.
