Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
Activated alumina water treatment is a preferred and cost-effective method being used across the globe. The product is used in water treatment devices to adsorb contaminants present in the contaminated water. It is usually used for source water with a greater level of total dissolved solids or sulfate concentration.

Water treatment devices using activated alumina possess a packed bed of granules to remove fluoride and arsenic from drinking water. Increasing demand from emerging economies, rising environmental regulations, scarcity of freshwater resources, and growth in industrial water consumption have increased the acceptance of activated alumina for water treatment.

The COVID-19 outbreak has restricted the growth of the market. The pandemic has affected industries such as chemicals, oil & gas, and plastics, resulting in reduced demand for activated alumina from these industries. The market has been impacted by operational challenges, disruption of the supply chain, and workforce impairment. Manufacturing activities have been halted due to various government regulations across the globe.

However, activated alumina has also been used during the pandemic in the healthcare and water treatment industries owing to more significant concerns regarding clean water and hygiene. The market is expected to gain traction post-COVID-19 driven by supportive government regulations, favorable environmental policies, the development of clean water resources, and the development of water treatment facilities.
