Also known as alumina, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is a white, odorless chemical compound commonly found in different forms, such as powder, pellets, tablets, pieces, nanoparticles and sputtering targets. It is widely used as an electric insulator, abrasive and a protective layer in industrial manufacturing processes to prevent devices from weathering. It also finds applications in chromatography and making ceramic materials around the world on account of its high thermal conductivity.

Aluminum Oxide Market Trends:

The threat to flora, fauna and human life is increasing across the globe on account of the perpetually rising environmental pollutants. As a result, there is a rise in the demand for Al2O3 to remove toxic pollutants effectively. This can also be accredited to its affordability, high surface area, adsorption ability, surface acidity and thermal stability. In addition, due to its bio-inertness and chemical properties, Al2O3 acts as a preferred material in bearings of hip replacements, bionic implants, prosthetic eye substitutes, tissue reinforcements, dental crowns, abutments, bridges, and other dental implants. It is also utilized in lab equipment and tools, such as crucibles and furnaces, worldwide. This, coupled with the growing investments in the healthcare sector by governing agencies of numerous countries, is driving the market. Moreover, the high melting and boiling points and the excellent thermal resistive properties are augmenting the sales of this metal oxide to manufacture high-temperature furnace insulations and electrical insulators. Besides this, the expanding application of Al2O3 in the construction, container packaging, electrical engineering and smelting process is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, key industry players are collaborating and forming alliances to focus on commercialization and large-scale production, which is projected to fuel the market growth.
