A new report of Fairfield Market Research refers to alumina as a versatile, globally valued commodity that spans a wide application range from refractories, ceramics, and flame retardants. The rise of recycled aluminum, particularly secondary aluminum, will be crucial for its lower energy consumption and production costs.

The worldwide alumina market is geared towards nearly 1.5x growth in revenue between 2022 and 2030. A glimpse into the market’s current scenario reveals major gains from the exponential growth of the primary aluminum industry over recent decades,” remarks the company analyst.

Key Research Insights

  • Global alumina production exceeded 140 million tons in 2022, with China contributing more than 50%.
  • Russia held over 40% of the alumina production share in Europe in 2022, with geopolitical tensions leading to price volatility.
  • In 2022, smelter grade alumina (SGA) accounted for over 90% of the global alumina demand.

Insights into Segmentation Analysis

SGA Surges Ahead

  • Among manufacturing processes, Bayer's process dominated alumina production for its cost-effectiveness. Based on grade of alumina, smelter grade alumina (SGA) holds a commanding share of the alumina landscape.
  • This alumina grade category accounted for more than 90% of the total alumina demand in 2022 and remains crucial for producing aluminum that is subsequently used across industries such as automotive, aerospace, packaging, and consumer goods.
  • The global aluminum market is valued at US$245.7 Bn in 2021 and projected to reach US$498.5 Bn by the end of this decade. The demand for SGA will maintain a modest CAGR of 2.9% till 2030-end.

Key Report Highlights

  • The COVID-19 pandemic brought about disruptions across the aluminum supply chain, impacting factory operations, ports, and container ships. These disruptions caused alumina prices to drop by 15% in 2020. Although prices rebounded in 2021, ongoing supply disruptions and high energy costs in 2022 maintained elevated alumina prices, reaching an average of US$480 per ton, a 40% rise compared to 2020.
  • The key players in alumina market space will continue their pursuit of sustainability. Companies like Aluminium Corporation of China Limited (CHALCO), and Rio Tinto Alcan are prioritising sustainable upgrades to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote circular economies.

Insights into Regional Analysis

  • Investments in Aluminum Value Chain: India and Indonesia Take the Lead
    Recent years have witnessed a surge in investments across the aluminum value chain. The Adani Group's US$5 Bn investment proposal for a new alumina refinery in India and Southeast Asia's increasing integration into the aluminum sector reflect this trend. Indonesia's ban on bauxite exports and China's focus on overseas alumina projects are also driving growth.
  • China Dominates Global Alumina Production
    China stood at the forefront of global alumina production, contributing more than 50% to the total in 2022. The nation's increasing alumina output is a result of new projects and capacity restarts. Australia ranked second in production, maintaining its status as a significant alumina exporter.
  • Russia Holds a Strategic Position
    Geopolitical tensions, particularly between Russia and Ukraine, created further price volatility in Europe. Additionally, elevated energy prices and supply disruptions posed challenges across the alumina value chain.
