Aluminum Hydroxide Market Outlook 2031:
The global aluminum hydroxide market size was valued at USD 1.90 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2.95 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising sales of antacids.
Aluminum hydroxide, also known as trihydrate aluminum and hydrate aluminum, is a white colored, powered compound. This inorganic compound is found in the form of mineral gibbsite. Bauxite is one the key component of aluminum ore. The newly precipitated aluminum hydroxide is found in the form of gel.
In industries, aluminum hydroxide is manufactured by Bayer’s process and it is used as a raw material for the creation of numerous aluminum-based constituents such as zeolites, aluminum oxide, and aluminum chlorides. Properties such as fire resistant and lightweight has increased its use in various end-user industries such as transportation, construction, automotive, and electrical & electronics.
Considering the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the global aluminum hydroxide market is expected to evidence a slowdown due to inhibition in the growth of the plastic industry. However, the market is expected to recover by end of 2021.
Aluminum Hydroxide Markets Trends, Drivers, Restraints and Opportunity
- Rising number of commercial and residential establishments is estimated to positively influence the market growth during the forecast period.
