Aluminum Trihydrate Market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2020 and it expected to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2030, register the CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.Currently, technological innovations are driven by the demand for commercial and energy-efficient solutions. In the last decades, the chemical sector has witnessed significant growth globally due to the rise in demand from end-use industries including paints & coatings, polymer & plastics, cosmetics, and adhesives, and others. The growth of the chemical industry is the major factor in the development of the aluminum trihydrate market. ATH is a white-colored, non-toxic, and chemically inert substance. It is generally extracted from Bauxite ore by Baeyer’s process. Further after washing and drying it acts as feedstock for an extensive range of alumina chemicals like calcined alumina, polyaluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, zeolites, sodium aluminate, alumina nitrate, etc. It gets decomposed at 180 C and is therefore widely used as a flame retardant. Due to its smoke suppressant quality, it is used as fillers in plastics, rubber, and polymers. It acts as a skin protecting and opacifying agent which helps in even application of skin products and protection from UV rays. It is used as mordant in dyeing, and as an antacid in pharmaceuticals.
Market Segmentation:
On the basis of type, the aluminum trihydrate market is segmented into industrial grade and pharmaceutical grade. On the basis of the end-use, market is classified into plastics, buildings & construction, paints & coatings, rubber & polymer, chemicals, cosmetics, and others. On the basis of applications, the market is segmented into fire retardant, mordant, filler, antacid and others. On the basis of region, aluminum trihydrate market is segmented into the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.
Market Dynamics and Factors:
The market has observed steady growth over the last few years attributed to several factors, such as growing awareness about aluminum trihydrate as a flame retardant, use in cosmetics, as smoke suppressant filler in rubber and polymer industries, and increasing emphasis on lightweight interiors of automobiles. Additionally, the development of paints & coatings industries, growing consumption in water treatment, has been a perk to the aluminum trihydrate market growth worldwide. Due to health, safety and recycling concern electrical industries are seeking non-halogenated substitutes like ATH for halogens. Apart from the growing demand for high-quality fire retardants in the automotive industry, the global demand for aluminum trihydrate is further fueled by government norms for vehicular safety. Recently, governments have emphasized vehicular safety that has eventually led to remarkable demand growth in the automotive industry. Industrial grade is dominating the aluminum trihydrate market and growing demand for lightweight and fire-resistant materials in the automotive industry, in order to provide increased efficiency and design flexibility is primarily responsible for the growth of the plastics market. High-performance plastics offer manufacturers the advantages of design and comparable strength of steel, thus, this helps in reducing the overall weight and controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Rising usage of ATH in batteries and chemicals is expected to be a prospect for the aluminum trihydrate market growth. The budding concern about the thermal stability of alumina trihydrate in high-temperature applications may restrict the growth of the alumina trihydrate market across the globe. Increasing health risk due to direct exposure is expected to hinder the aluminum trihydrate market growth.
Geographic Analysis:
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market attributed to the rise in demand for flame retardants in multiple end-user industries like plastics, polymers, automotive, many others. APAC accounted the largest aluminum trihydrate market share in terms of revenue in 2019 and is expected to continue the supremacy in upcoming years. China is one of the world’s leading chemical markets and has a great impact on the regional market. Europe is projected to show significant growth in the market followed by North America.
