Spherical alumina fillers have high thermal conductivity, insulation, hardness, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other characteristics. Thus, these characteristics make the chemical a desirable product in the world market.

Spherical alumina fillers have wide-ranging applications in thermal interface & conductive plastics materials, alumina ceramic fillers, and thermal sprays. The chemical is mainly produced in China, Japan, and South Korea, which hold an 85% share in the market. Thus, Asia Pacific will lead the worldwide market growth. The various benefits of the chemical, such as high melting and boiling points, will lead the market growth, thus driving the prospects for the expansion of the worldwide market.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Impeded Market Growth as Companies Have Shut Down

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented & staggering, with spherical alumina fillers experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR can be attributed to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels after the pandemic is over.

The global spherical alumina filler market has experienced an unprecedented slump in its market growth post the pandemic. Several manufacturers have shut down worldwide operations due to the losses incurred during the pandemic as manufacturing and processing units came to a halt. Thus, supply chain disruptions in the global market have severely affected product demand, leading to a slowdown in chemical manufacturing and industrial production.
