The global reactive alumina market size is anticipated to be USD 823.7 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 1448.38 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.

Reactive alumina is the aluminium oxide which is used in the production of high-performance, mechanically strong refractories. As one of the common oxides in refractory production, it is extensively used in heat insulation and as an adsorbent.

The upscaling of the infrastructure is predominantly a major focus point for many developed and developing nations. In light of the booming construction and automotive industry, it is creating opportunities for the growth of the refractory sector thus escalating the reactive alumina market. 

COVID-19 Impact: Slowdown Growth of the End-user Industry to Hamper the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the reactive alumina market experiencing lower -than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The Pandemic harmed the growth of the reactive alumina industry. The spike in COVID-19 cases has led to the transformation and prioritizing of the healthcare sector. The sudden global lockdowns and shutting down of the manufacturing units hampered the process. Moreover, restrictions in global transportation caused the problem of shifting raw materials. The shortage of raw materials created an imbalance between supply and demand. The economic stagnation and other unavoidable circumstances led to the slow growth of the market. The normalization process has begun and the market is expected to bounce back due to the increasing demands and the start of high-scale production.
