Top impacting factors

Increase in application of aluminum oxide in the industrial manufacturing processes and production of dental cement is anticipated to drive the growth of the global aluminum oxide market. In addition, surge in adoption of aluminum oxide in the production of engineered ceramics, owing to its high thermal conductivity, is expected to boost the market growth. However, risks involved with mining of bauxite ore is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, increase in demand for medical transplants due to its biomaterial property is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to players in the aluminum oxide market. For instance, aluminum oxide is used for the transplants, making dental cements, and in hemodialysis in the medical sector.

Increase in application of aluminum oxide in industrial manufacturing processes

In industrial manufacturing, aluminum oxides are widely used for the production of piping components such as tees, elbows, hydro cyclones, straight pipes, nozzles, and valves. In addition, it is used in the manufacturing of many cutting tools, machining tools, wear-resistant pump impellers, thermocouple sheaths, and baffle plates. Furthermore, aluminum oxide is used in the manufacturing of electrical insulators and high-temperature furnace insulations, owing to its physical properties such as high boiling & melting points and exceptional thermal-resistive property. Thus, all these factors are collectively anticipated to
increase the demand for aluminum oxide in industrial manufacturing processes.

In May 2019, Washington Mills, a manufacturer of abrasive grains and industrial fused minerals, launched DURALUM HFST II and DURALUM HFST, aluminum oxide roadway aggregate materials, which are used in the roadways and bridges for high friction surface treatments. In July 2018, Almatis set up a new manufacturing line in India to produce high-quality tabular alumina to meet the growing demand for steel and refractories.

Surge in adoption of alumina oxide in pharmaceutical industry and manufacturing of engineered ceramics

Owing to oxide’s hardness and bio-inertness, it is widely used in dental implants, bionic implants, dental crowns, bridges, abutments, tissue reinforcements, prosthetic eye substitutes, and as prostheses & bearings in hip replacements. Moreover, aluminum oxide is used in tools and lab equipment such as furnaces, crucibles, and other lab equipment. Owing to these reasons, the demand for aluminum oxide is

anticipated to increase in the medical industry. 

Aluminum oxide is used in the manufacturing of engineered ceramics. These engineered ceramic materials are manufactured for use in applications that require thermal chemical stability, increased wear resistance, and various other characteristics that alumina oxide possesses. Engineered ceramics find applications in medical, chemical, electrical, industrial sectors. This factor is expected to increase the demand for aluminum oxide in the manufacturing of engineered ceramics, and eventually is expected to drive the growth of the global market.
