Aluminum oxide or alumina, commonly known as AL2O3, is the primary raw material used for the manufacturing of metallic aluminum. Moreover, 90% of alumina used in aluminum metal production, as Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA), and remaining 10% is used in non-metallurgical industry for chemical or specialty use. High Purity Alumina (HPA) is one of the purest forms of aluminum oxide. HPA is widely used in various end -use industries such as LED and semiconductor manufacturing industries. Furthermore, artificial sapphire substrates found in LED, scratch proof artificial sapphire glass, and semiconductors are primarily made from HPA. 99.99% purity HPA, (4N) Al2O3, is the high end and high value product of non-metallurgical industry. The various methods used for producing high purity alumina include thermal decomposition of ammonium alum, hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxide, vapor phase oxidation, underwater spark discharge with aluminum and thermal decomposition of ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide. Moreover, hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxide is most common and widely used process for high purity alumina production. Increasing growth of electronics and semiconductor equipment industries in Asia Pacific, is expected to hold a dominant position as a global powerhouse in the high purity alumina market during the forecast period. Moreover, growing demand for high resolution television and smartphones is also expected to fuel growth of the high purity alumina market, especially in North America and Europe.
Market Dynamics
Low- power consumption and low carbon emissions of LED is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. In 2015, International Energy Conservation Code, revised version of 2012 document, on control over daylight and lightning. Daylight controls and occupy sensors that are essential for most buildings that switch on and off the lights automatically on the basis of people presence. These regulations of International Energy Conservation Code are implemented by various countries, which in turn is expected to fuel demand for LED and semiconductor. Moreover, in 2011, the Government of South Africa, enforced a law to ensure all new buildings meets the energy efficiency specifications. Furthermore, in 2012, a nonprofit business organization of South Korea, started providing various energy solutions such as retrofitting, energy conservation, design, implementation of energy saving projects, energy infrastructure outsourcing, risk management, energy supply and power generation to support energy services. In 2013, The European Union, phased out sodium- vapor lamp and halogen lamps by LED lights to save the energy and to meet the growing demand for power within the region. In 2010, the Federal Government of Australia, banned the sales of incandescent light bulbs in order to conserve energy, reduce global warming, and promote eco-friendly LED solutions.
