Global Alumina Trihydrate Market: Overview
Alumina
trihydrate is a white-colored, odorless, non-toxic, chemically inert, less
abrasive powder-formed solid substance. It is also known as aluminum
trihydroxide. Alumina trihydrate has very low water solubility, but it is
considered amphoteric, meaning it dissolves in both strong alkali and acids. It
is usually derived from bauxite ore in different sizes and refined through the
bayer process. Once the chemical is washed away, it can act as a feedstock for
a range of alumina chemicals. When alumina trihydrate is heated at 180°C, it
decomposes to aluminum oxide and water and aluminum oxide is widely used as
flame retardant.
Global Alumina Trihydrate Market: Drivers & Restrains
The alumina
trihydrate market is driven by strict regulations imposed by governments
of various countries on the use of flame retardants in furniture and
construction activities. The market is also driven by increase in demand for
alumina trihydrate from the flame retardant plastics in automotive industry and
the water treatment industry. Moreover, demand for alumina trihydrate is high
from the paints, coating, and paper industries due to it cost effectiveness.
This is a key factor driving the alumina trihydrate market. However,
availability of alternatives for alumina trihydrate are expected to restrain
the market. Increase in preference for magnesium hydroxide as an antacid in the
pharmaceuticals industry can pose a challenge for the alumina trihydrate
market.
Alumina
trihydrate is used in the manufacture of aluminum, adhesives, coatings, wires
& cables, caulks & sealants, rubbers, paper, and carpet backing. The
most common application of alumina trihydrate is in the production of aluminum.
It is used as a flame retardant in rubber products and carpet backing and as a
smoke suppressant filler in polymers. Alumina trihydrate is also used in the
pharmaceutical industry as an antacid that can be used to buffer the pH in the
stomach.
Based on
end-use industry, the alumina trihydrate market can be segmented into paints
& coatings, paper & pulp, plastics & polymers, cosmetics &
personal care, adhesives, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and others.

of geography, the alumina trihydrate market can be categorized into North
America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
North America accounts for significant demand for alumina trihydrate. The U.S.
is a leading consumer of alumina trihydrate due to significant demand for the
material from the construction industry. North America is followed by Europe in
terms of demand. The demand in Europe is high due to increase in demand for
paints & coatings in the automotive industry. The alumina trihydrate market
in Asia Pacific is expanding at a rapid pace owing to the rapidly developing
construction industry in the region and rise in investment in infrastructure by
the government. The demand for alumina trihydrate is high in countries such as
Japan, China, and India. The alumina trihydrate market in India is anticipated
to expand at a prominent pace in the Asia Pacific region. Demand for aluminum
trihydrate in Latin America is rising rapidly due to the expanding construction
industry in Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. The market in Middle East &
Africa is likely to show rapid growth due to a robust construction industry,
especially in UAE.
