The high purity alumina market was valued at US$ 2.1 billion in 2021 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% between 2022 and 2028.
High purity alumina (HPA) is aluminum oxide (Al2O3) in high purity form, and it is widely used in artificial sapphire glass and LED light applications. HPA has wide applications across multiple industry segments. For instance, HPA is used as a base raw material in the manufacturing of substrates of sapphire. It is used in producing a wide range of products such as electric vehicles, optical lenses, sodium lamps, hybrid cars, semiconductors, LED lights, lithium-ion battery separators, plasma display screens, scratch-resistant sapphire glasses for smartphones & smartwatches, and others. The high demand from application industries is expected to drive the high purity alumina market during the forecast period.
MARKET DYNAMICS
High purity alumina (HPA) is primarily used in the manufacturing of ingots, which are then utilized in sapphire-based products, semiconductors, and LEDs. Due to various government initiatives to promote energy-efficient lighting worldwide, the production of LEDs has increased, which has led to significant growth in the HPA market. The global market for LED lighting is expected to grow at a fast pace in the coming years, which is one of the key factors fueling the demand for HPA. Moreover, the increased demand for electric vehicles is another major factor driving the HPA market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 outbreak reflected a decrease in demand for HPA globally, which was evident by significantly lower volumes of orders among end users, resulting in a lower production volume. The decline in production volumes adversely affected the businesses of various HPA manufacturers. Thus, the procurement of high purity alumina declined during the initial phase of the spread of COVID-19, negatively impacting the growth of the global high purity alumina market.
The majority decline in demand was witnessed in the sapphire industry. This is due to a drastic fall in demand for semiconductors across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. However, since the later quarters of 2020, the semiconductor sector has been strongly growing, and the growth trend is foreseen to continue over the next few years. This would propel the procurement of high purity alumina, thereby bolstering the market growth during the forecast period.
