North America Activated Alumina Market Size (2024 - 2029)

North America Activated Alumina Market Analysis

The North America Activated Alumina market size is estimated to reach 90.83 million tons by the end of this year and is projected to reach 111.63 million tons in the next five years, registering a CAGR of 4.21% during the forecast period.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, nationwide lockdowns in various countries in North America, and disruption in manufacturing activities and supply chains, negatively hindered the growth of the activated alumina market. However, demand from some segments, like healthcare and water treatment, remained firm in the market, which largely counterbalanced the fall in demand from other segments.

• One of the major factors driving the market studied is the growing demand for adsorbents and catalysts from the oil and gas industry, owing to the increasing output and overall investments in the sector in North America.
• On the flip side, the availability of several substitutes in different end-user industries hinders the market's growth. For instance, in the water treatment industry, activated carbon and zeolite availability are expected to negatively impact its market growth.
• Growing research and development on the usage of activated alumina in the textile and cosmetics industry is expected to offer various opportunities for market growth over the forecast period.
• In the North American region, the United States is expected to dominate the market in terms of demand owing to the vivid presence and continuous expansion of various end-user industries like oil & gas, chemicals, etc.
