Executive Summary

Alumina trihydrate is a solid, odorless, powdery, and white substance utilized as a flame retardant and filler in various industries such as glass, ceramics, inks, detergents, cosmetics, and plastics. It is extracted from bauxite ore through the Bayer process, with an average particle diameter ranging from 80 to 100 microns. Its primary application lies in the production of aluminum metal.

The main types of alumina trihydrate include ground, wet, dry, and precipitate. 'Ground alumina trihydrate' specifically refers to a type used in the paper industry as a whitening agent in lieu of titanium dioxide, serving as a filler material, flame retardant, and smoke suppressor. This form of alumina trihydrate is characterized by its white crystalline powder composition, low impurity content, good stability, uniform particle size, and excellent dispensability. Alumina trihydrate is widely applied in flame retardants, fillers, and antacids, finding suitability in sectors such as plastic manufacturing, building and construction, paints and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

This alumina trihydrate market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The alumina trihydrate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.07 billion in 2023 to $2.2 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including the flame retardant properties of alumina trihydrate, increasing demand in the chemical industry, a shift away from halogenated flame retardants, expansion in the construction sector, and growing demand in the pharmaceuticals industry.

The alumina trihydrate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.78 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including increased applications in healthcare and cosmetics, global economic development, rising demand for packaging materials, expansion in the textile industry, and growth in the pharmaceutical industry. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the expansion of the global market, emphasis on automotive safety, innovations in packaging, and the adoption of water treatment solutions.

The alumina trihydrate market is anticipated to experience substantial growth due to increasing demand for flame retardants within the construction industry. The proliferation of commercial and residential buildings has heightened the risk of fire-related incidents, leading to a surge in demand for non-halogenated flame retardants. These compounds, such as alumina trihydrate, play a pivotal role in fire safety by either forming a protective char in the condensed phase or releasing free radicals when ignited, thereby slowing down fire propagation. Stringent fire safety regulations imposed by numerous countries necessitate the use of nonflammable retardants in buildings, contributing significantly to the demand for alumina trihydrate. For instance, Nabaltec, a U.S.-based chemical company, reported a substantial 24.2% revenue increase in the 'Specialty Alumina' product segment, rising from USD 46.4 million to USD 57.6 million in 2021, signifying the escalating demand for non-halogenated flame retardants and subsequent growth in the alumina trihydrate market.

The surge in construction activities worldwide is poised to drive further growth in the alumina trihydrate market. Construction encompasses a broad spectrum of activities involved in erecting, renovating, or demolishing structures and infrastructure. Alumina trihydrate, widely used as a flame retardant, is integrated into various construction materials like paints, coatings, adhesives, and polymers due to its ability to release water vapor under high temperatures, effectively suppressing combustion and enhancing fire resistance in building materials. Notably, in September 2023, the Census Bureau reported an estimated seasonally adjusted annual construction spending rate of $1,996.5 billion, surpassing the revised August estimate of $1,988.3 billion, underlining the robust surge in construction activities that underpin the growth trajectory of the alumina trihydrate market.

Technological advancements stand as a key trend driving market growth in the alumina trihydrate sector. Market leaders are investing in innovative technologies to enhance the efficiency and quality of non-halogenated flame retardants, aiming for a competitive advantage. For example, in November 2021, Alcoa Corporation, a U.S.-based aluminum producer, devised an innovative alumina refinery featuring advanced technologies. The objective was to upscale decarburization while achieving cost competitiveness, minimizing fossil fuel use in operations, reducing freshwater consumption, and ultimately eliminating new bauxite residue deposits.

In August 2022, Cimbar Resources Inc., a privately held U.S.-based company specializing in the production and supply of barium sulfate and mineral products, completed the acquisition of the calcium carbonate manufacturing assets of Imerys Carbonates USA Inc. This strategic acquisition is a part of Cimbar's growth strategy aimed at expanding its product portfolio and enhancing its capacity to cater to a wider customer base across various geographical locations. Imerys Carbonates USA Inc., a subsidiary of Imerys, a France-based company renowned for its mineral-based specialty products across industries, was the previous owner of these acquired assets.

In April 2021, Cimbar Performance Minerals (CPM), a division of United Minerals and Properties, Inc. based in Chatsworth, Georgia, a U.S.-based company, successfully acquired the U.S. Barite and Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) manufacturing assets and business from Tor Minerals. The acquisition included Tor Minerals' manufacturing site, significantly expanding Cimbar's product portfolio and reinforcing its commitment to providing a diverse range of products to customers across multiple locations. Tor Minerals, a U.S.-based producer specializing in specialty mineral products known for its innovation in flame retardants, smoke suppressant fillers, engineered fillers, and other technical support solutions, was the previous owner of these assets.
