Product Overview
High purity alumina (HPA) is a high-value, white, granular chemical product manufactured by treating aluminum with certain chemicals or by use of another aluminous feedstock. High purity alumina is a pure form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) characterized by purity levels ranging approximately 99.99%. Alkoxide process, thermal decomposition process, choline hydrolysis process, and modified Bayer process are some of the commonly used processes for high purity alumina. High purity alumina possesses properties including high brightness, corrosion resistance, and endurance against high temperatures. High purity alumina is used to produce sapphire substrate in applications such as LED lights and artificial sapphire glass. As there is no substitute for HPA in the manufacture of synthetic sapphire, it is a critical and highly demanded product. HPA is widely used as a coating on the separator sheets in lithium-ion batteries.

Market Dynamics
Drivers
Increasing Demand for LED Over Conventional Bulbs
High purity alumina is widely used in the production of synthetic sapphire that is used as a substrate in LED preparation. Sapphire is the preferred ingredient in the manufacturing of LED, as it was much cheaper than other substrates, such as Silicon Carbide, and Gallium Nitride. The demand for LEDs is increasing rapidly owing to properties such as high efficiency, better brightness, and less electric consumption. Furthermore, increasing environmental awareness of the public and growing demand for smart illumination are expected to boost the demand for high purity alumina in the coming years.
Growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs)
The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing in developing economies to limit carbon emission and to reduce dependency on the fossil fuels such as diesel and petrol. This, in turn, has surged the demand for lithium-ion batteries which is expected to boost the consumption of high purity alumina as it is used for coating the lithium-ion battery separators.
Restraint
High Production cost
High purity alumina requires high production costs due to which the cost of end products is high and profitability is low. The higher cost of production in some of the end-use segments is estimated to hamper the market growth in the coming years.
