The global activated alumina market size is expected treach USD 2,035.96 million by 2034, according ta new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Activated Alumina Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Form (Beaded and Powdered), Application, End-Use Industry, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight intcurrent market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Activated alumina is a porous, white material made from aluminum oxide. It has a large surface area-to-weight ratiand can withstand high temperatures and wear and tear. Activated alumina finds applications in several sectors, including water treatment, natural gas drying, and catalyst support.
The wide applications of activated alumina in industries such as healthcare, chemicals, and oil & gas are driving the activated alumina market growth. Further, rising industrialization, declining water reserves, and a growing need tprovide clean water tcommunities worldwide fuel the activated alumina market expansion.
The increasing consumption of liquid petroleum gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and other gases is having a favorable impact on the activated alumina market development. LNG and CNG are passed through activated alumina tensure they are free of moisture and impurities, which can lead tblockages and corrosion in the fuel system.
Advances in technology and the implementation of government initiatives tensure a steady supply of clean water drive the activated alumina market revenue. The rising usage of activated alumina as an adsorbent, catalyst, and source of filtration in the chemical industry is projected tboost market development in the coming years.
Key Highlights of Activated Alumina Market Report
Based on application, the adsorbent segment dominated the activated alumina market with the largest revenue share of 36.1% in 2024. This is because activated alumina is widely used as an adsorbent for the removal of fluoride from water. Also, it is utilized in various end-use industries for the separation of components.
Based on end-use industry, the water treatment segment is projected tregister the highest CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 t2034. The increasing demand for clean water and the introduction of stringent safety regulations regarding effluent treatment are the primary factors anticipated tdrive tsegment’s growth.
Asia Pacific dominated the activated alumina market with a revenue share of 43.2% in 2024. The rapid industrialization in major economies such as India, China, and Japan is the key factor driving the robust demand for activated alumina in the region.
The North America activated alumina market is projected tregister a significant CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 t2034. The rising demand for activated alumina across various sectors and the presence of stringent regulations for wastewater treatment are fueling the market growth in the region.
