Global Calcined Alumina Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Calcined alumina is aluminum oxide that has been heated at temperatures in excess of 1,050 °C (1,900 °F) to drive off nearly all chemically combined water. Calcined alumina possesses several desirable properties, including high purity, excellent thermal stability, and high hardness. It is widely used in various industries, such as ceramics, refractories, and abrasives.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Calcined Alumina market finds that the global Calcined Alumina market reached a value of USD 2659.94 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3368.96 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.02% during the forecast period.

Opportunities and Drivers

Application of Calcined Alumina in the Field of Refractories
Refractory materials are the basis of all high-temperature industrial implementations and come in a wide variety of applications. Refractory materials are widely used in metallurgy, the chemical industry, petroleum, power generation, and other industrial fields. Calcined alumina powder has the characteristics of a high conversion rate, good fluidity and dispersion, and uniform particle size. At present, with the continuous development of the economy, metallurgy, chemical industry, petroleum, power generation, and other fields continue to develop, and the scale of the refractory material market continues to expand, so the demand for Calcined Alumina continues to increase. Therefore, the application of Calcined Alumina in the field of refractories is one of the important factors driving the market.

Market Challenges

High technical barriers
Calcined Alumina is an advanced inorganic non-metallic material that is quite different from ordinary alumina in chemical purity, crystal phase, crystal morphology, specific surface area, pore volume, and particle size distribution by controlling the production or processing process. The research and development of Calcined Alumina and the production of finished products involve the integration of multiple disciplines such as inorganic non-metallic materials, chemistry, physics, electronics, thermals, and mechanical mechanics. It has high technical content, strict quality control requirements, and strong professionalism. There are highly technical thresholds and technical barriers. High technical barriers are one of the challenges facing the development of the industry.
