活性アルミナの世界市場：2028年までの予測 - 機能、形状、用途、地域別の分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の活性アルミナ市場は2022年に1億6670万米ドルを占め、2028年には2億6170万米ドルに達し、予測期間中に7.8%のCAGRで成長すると予測されています。

酸化アルミニウムの高多孔性、乾燥、粒状形態は活性アルミナとして知られています。気体や液体と結合しても、この物質の化学的・物理的状態は変化しません。水酸化アルミニウムの二水酸化反応によって生成されます。活性アルミナは、水処理工程で乾燥剤として使用されることが多いです。

国際エネルギー機関（IEA）によると、インドにおける天然ガスの消費量は250億立方メートル（BCM）、予測期間中の年平均成長率は9％と見込まれています。

市場力学

促進要因

代替燃料としてのガス使用量の増加による活性アルミナ需要の増加

過去10年間で、燃料として使用されるガス（CNG、LNGなど）の量は1.5倍に増加しています。これらのガスは、水分の凝縮による腐食やパイプラインの閉塞を防ぐため、汚染物質や水分を含まないことが必要です。水分や二酸化炭素、硫化水素などの汚染物質を除去するために、上記のガスを活性アルミナに通します。これらの汚染物質は、熱や衝撃にも崩れることなく、活性アルミナによってなんとか除去されます。国内のエネルギー生産で最も急速に拡大しているのは天然ガスと考えられています。そのため、代替燃料としてCNGやLNGの利用が増え、活性アルミナの需要が高まることが予想されます。

抑制要因

水酸化アルミニウムの価格変動

酸化アルミニウムの製造には、水酸化アルミニウムが使用されます。水酸化アルミニウムの価格が変動することにより、市場の拡大が阻害される可能性があります。貿易紛争、サプライチェーンのボトルネック、地政学的状況の変化、その他の産業上の支障が変動要因になり得ます。例えば、パンデミックは国境を越えた閉鎖、制限、ロックダウンを引き起こし、経済活動を突然停止させました。その結果、すべての産業がサプライチェーンの制約を受け、悪影響を受けました。さらに、ロシア・ウクライナ戦争に関連したエネルギー危機も、同様に市場の拡大に制約を与えています。

機会

アルミナバイオセラミックスの需要増とリチウム精製への採用

歯科用および外科用インプラントの製造において、金属合金の代替として活性アルミナバイオセラミックスの需要が増加していることが、市場に影響を与えています。このカテゴリーのセラミックスは、摩擦が少なく、耐久性が高く、耐食性に優れています。セラミック、バッテリー、空気処理、ガラス、潤滑油などに使用されるリチウムを浄化するための製品として受け入れられるようになり、市場は急速に拡大しています。その他の特典として、ヘルスケア分野の拡大が挙げられます。

脅威

厳しい政府規制

活性アルミナは、その弊害を軽減するため、一定の比率で使用する必要があります。活性アルミナへの高濃度あるいは長時間の暴露により、呼吸器系や目に炎症を起こす可能性があります。咳や呼吸困難が起こる可能性があります。人々の健康に影響を与え、生活の質を低下させる。労働者と一般市民の両方を保護するために、活性アルミナの市場は規制と安全予防措置によって厳しく管理されています。政府の規制が厳しいと、市場拡大の妨げになる可能性があります。

COVID-19の影響

活性アルミナ市場は、COVID-19の影響を受けた産業の一つです。COVID-19の発生時に経験した金融問題のため、公共部門と政府部門の両方が非常に大きな被害を受けました。ロックダウンと社会的分離のルールが制定され、多くの国で企業が閉鎖されることになっています。活性アルミナ業界は、人手不足と生産性の低下により、深刻な事態に陥っています。石油・ガス、化学などの生産量減少や廃業により、活性アルミナの需要は減少しました。しかし、COVID-19後の状況下では、活性アルミナの需要が増加することが予想されます。

予測期間中、水処理分野が最大となる見込み

淡水資源の開発と汚染によってもたらされた世界の水不足により、予測期間中は水処理分野が市場をリードすると予想されます。水源の著しい人為的な汚染により、限られた淡水の供給はさらに減少しています。水需要の増加に伴い、水処理に対する要求も高まっています。また、都市化の進展に伴い、市民にきれいな水を提供するために、自治体の水処理に対する優先順位が高くなっています。

予測期間中、CAGRが最も高くなると予想されるのはビーズセグメントです。

新興国におけるアルミナビーズ（水処理用）の高い需要と、水問題に取り組む政府の試みの増加により、ビーズセグメントは2021年のCAGRが最も高く、予測期間を通じて最も高い成長率を示すと予測されます。さらに、活性アルミナビーズは表面積対質量比が高く、多孔質であるため、さまざまな用途で非常に効果的な吸収剤となります。さらに、このビーズは石油・ガス用途で、圧縮天然ガスや液体石油ガス（LPG）、圧縮天然ガス（CNG）などのガスを脱水するために使用されています。

最もシェアの高い地域

中国やインドなどの主要国で精製能力の大幅な拡大が見込まれ、製品需要が高まることから、アジア太平洋地域が予測期間中に最大の収益シェアを占めると予想されます。さらに、淡水供給に対する需要の高まりは、アジア太平洋地域の人口増加によって促進されるでしょう。水処理にかかるインフラ費用の増加に伴い、石油・ガス産業では気体・液体乾燥のニーズが高まると予想されます。

CAGRが最も高い地域

高品質な水へのニーズが高まり、環境への関心が高まっていることから、北米は2018年に最も高いCAGRを記録し、予測期間中も活性アルミナの市場を独占し続けると予想されます。さらに、この地域は原油・シェールガスの大量輸出の結果、巨大な成長も遂げるでしょう。国際エネルギー機関（IEA）によると、米国は2018年に世界トップの原油生産国として他のすべての国を上回り、予測期間中も重要な原油輸出国としての地位を維持すると予想されます。したがって、この地域の製油所では活性アルミナの需要が高まると考えられます。

主な発展

2020年8月、アクセンスは、カナダに本拠を置くメーカー、リオ・ティント・アルカンの活性アルミナ事業を買収したと発表しました。

2019年4月、化学触媒のリーダーであるEvonik Industries AGは、インドで活性金属触媒の生産を拡大したと発表しました。インドのドンビビリに金属触媒の生産工場を新設する見込みであることを発表しました。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Activated Alumina Market is accounted for $166.7 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $261.7 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. The highly porous, dry, granular form of aluminium oxide is known as activated alumina. While bonding with gases and liquids, this substance does not change either its chemical or physical state. Aluminum hydroxide performs dihydroxylation to produce it. In most cases, activated alumina is used as a desiccant in water treatment processes.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), consumption of natural gas in India is expected to grow by 25 billion cubic meters (BCM), registering an average annual growth of 9% during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in usage of gas as alternative fuel to boost demand for activated alumina

In the last decade, the amount of gas (CNG, LNG, etc.) used as a fuel has increased by 1.5 times. In order to prevent corrosion and pipeline blockage from condensation of water, these gases must be free of pollutants and moisture. To eliminate moisture and pollutants such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, the above mentioned gases are passed through activated alumina. These contaminants are managed to remove by activated alumina, which also withstands heat and shocks without collapsing. The most rapidly expanding source of domestic energy production is thought to be natural gas. As a result, it is projected that increased use of CNG and LNG as alternative fuels will raise demand for activated alumina.

Restraint:

Volatile prices of aluminium hydroxide

In order to make aluminium oxide, aluminium hydroxide is utilised. The market's expansion may be hampered by the fluctuating cost of aluminium hydroxide. Trade disputes, supply chain bottlenecks, shifting geopolitical conditions, and other industrial hindrances can contribute to volatility. For example, the pandemic caused cross-border closures, limitations, and lockdowns, which abruptly stopped economic activity. All industries were adversely affected by the ensuing supply chain constraints. Additionally, the Russia-Ukraine war-related energy crisis has similarly constrained market expansion.

Opportunity:

Increase in demand for alumina bio-ceramics and adoption for purifying lithium

Increased demand for activated alumina bio-ceramics as a substitute for metal alloys in the production of dental and surgical implants has an impact on the market. Ceramics in this category have minimal friction, high durability, and anti-corrosion properties. The market is expanding rapidly as a result of increased product acceptance for purifying lithium, which is used in ceramics, batteries, air treatment, glass, and lubricating greases. Additionally, market growth benefits from the healthcare sector's expansion.

Threat:

Stringent government regulations

To reduce its harmful effects, activated alumina must be used at a specified ratio. The respiratory system and eyes may become irritated with high or extended exposure to activated alumina. Coughing and breathing problems could result from this. It has an effect on people's health and lowers their quality of life. To safeguard both the workforce and the general public, the market for activated alumina is strictly governed by regulations and safety precautions. Government regulations that are strict may hinder market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact:

The activated alumina market was one of several industries that suffered as a result of COVID-19. Due to the financial issues experienced during the COVID-19 outbreak, both the public and government sectors suffered immensely. The enactment of lockdown and the social separation rules resulted in the closure of businesses in many nations. Due to a manpower shortage and limited productivity, the activated alumina industry experienced severe difficulties. Because of the decreased output and closure of businesses including oil, gas, and chemicals, the demand for activated alumina has decreased. However, after the post-COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that demand for activated alumina will increase.

The water treatment segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

During the anticipated period, the water treatment segment is expected to lead the market due to the global water shortage brought on by the exploitation and contamination of freshwater resources. Because of the significant anthropogenic contamination of water sources, the limited freshwater supply is further reduced. The requirement for water treatment has grown as a result of the rising water demand. Additionally, municipalities have higher priorities for water treatment in order to provide clean water to citizens as a result of expanding urbanisation.

The beads segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Due to the high demand for alumina beads (for water treatment) among emerging countries and increasing government attempts to tackle water issues, the beads segment is estimated to have the highest CAGR in 2021 and the highest growth rate throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, because of their high surface area-to-mass ratio and high porosity, activated alumina beads are highly effective absorbents for a variety of applications. Additionally, the beads are used in oil and gas applications to dehydrate gases, including compressed natural gas and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as well as compressed natural gas (CNG).

Region with largest share:

Due to the anticipated major expansion of refining capacity in key countries like China and India, which would boost product demand, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to account for the largest revenue share during the projection period. Furthermore, growing demand for freshwater supplies will be fueled by the region's population growth in Asia Pacific. As infrastructure expenses for water treatment increase, there will be a rising need for gaseous and liquid drying in the oil and gas industry.

Region with highest CAGR:

Because of the region's growing need for high-quality water and growing environmental concerns, North America had the highest CAGR in 2018 and is expected to continue to dominate the market for activated alumina over the forecast period. Furthermore, the region will also experience huge growth as a result of the massive export of crude oil and shale gas. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the US surpassed all other countries as the world's top oil producer in 2018 and is anticipated to retain its position as a significant crude exporter during the forecast period. Therefore, the region's refineries will have a higher demand for activated alumina.
