简介目录

概述

全球氧化铝加工助剂市场将于 2023 年达到 42 亿美元，预计到 2031 年将达到 63 亿美元，2024-2031 年预测期间CAGR为 5.2%。

在全球最终用途行业铝消耗量成长的推动下，氧化铝加工助剂市场正在迅速扩大。拜耳法和烧结法中使用了被称为氧化铝加工助剂的化学品或添加剂，这是两种从铝土矿矿石中生产氧化铝的精炼技术。这些工具用于提高萃取效率并提高氧化铝产品的质量，从而鼓励所有地区的氧化铝精炼设施广泛采用这些辅助工具。

2023 年 11 月，IIT Kharagpur 和 Vedanta Aluminium 开发了一种工艺，可在氧化铝精炼过程中略微减少铝土矿残渣（通常称为赤泥）的产量。铝主要使用称为拜耳法的中间程序从铝土矿中提取。生产氧化铝，然后电解生产铝。通过去除铁值并回收更高的氧化铝收率，该专利技术将整个氧化铝精炼过程中铝土矿的总有机物含量降低了惊人的 30%。

动力学

随着铝产量的成长，氧化铝加工的相关性有助于提高生产率

随着铝产量的成长以满足不断增长的需求，优化氧化铝精炼作业的效率是必要的。透过确保更简单地从铝土矿矿石中提取氧化铝，氧化铝加工助剂对于提高这些製程的效率至关重要。它有助于缩短加工时间、提高产量并提高氧化铝精炼厂的整体生产率。

例如，2023年1月，国际铝业协会报告称，2022年12月全球原铝产量达585.9万吨，占当年总产量6,841.7万吨。儘管能源危机导致全球众多冶炼厂减产，但2022年全球产量较上年的6,709.2万吨成长1.97%。由于能源危机，全球铝产量将增加2%，但中国产量将超过新冠疫情限制4%。

扩大氧化铝精炼厂产能

氧化铝加工助剂经常用于最大限度地提高氧化铝生产成本、降低能源消耗并提高製程效率。能力的增强导致人们更加关注成本效益和效率，从而增加了对有助于实现这些目标的氧化铝加工助剂的需求。扩张通常伴随着加工方法或技术的发展。对专用加工助剂的需求可能会进一步刺激市场需求，新技术可能需要这些助剂才能正常运作或提供所需的结果。

2022年8月，阿达尼企业有限公司提议建造一座年产400万吨的氧化铝精炼厂，高层审批机构批准了10个工业项目，价值7462.018亿卢比。在卡什普尔的Rayagada地区，阿达尼集团拟投资4,165.3亿卢比兴建一座容量为1,75兆瓦的自备发电厂和一座氧化铝精炼厂。因此，上述发展增加了上述地区的氧化铝精炼能力，这进一步增加了对氧化铝加工助剂的需求，以优化氧化铝品质。

替代和替代技术

由于替代技术或材料的创建和使用（无需它们也可以产生类似的结果），对氧化铝加工助剂的需求可能会下降。如果公司选择以更实惠或更有效的替代品完全取代加工助剂，氧化铝加工助剂的市场可能会减少。

例如，催化剂在石油精炼中至关重要，因为它们能够实现各种化学过程，将原油转化为有用的副产品，如喷气燃料、柴油和汽油。过去，氧化铝基催化剂已广泛应用于精炼过程中，以提高产量、提高选择性并加速反应。然而，由于其改进的性能质量，包括沸石和分子筛在内的替代催化剂材料最近变得更加广为人知。

此外，随着炼油厂更频繁地用沸石和分子筛取代氧化铝基催化剂，催化剂製造中对氧化铝加工助剂的需求正在减少。由于业界采用其他性能和效率更好的技术，氧化铝加工助剂的市场份额可能会下降。

过度依赖氧化铝市场

对氧化铝产业的过度依赖可能会导致市场饱和或停滞，由于其既定的消费者基础或法律限制，几乎没有成长潜力。从长远来看，如果加工助剂供应商没有机会进入新市场或利基市场，他们会发现很难维持成长和获利。

严重依赖氧化铝的市场在加工助剂方面的创新速度可能会较慢，因为企业优先考虑满足当前客户的需求，而不是研究新的应用或技术进步。缺乏竞争压力和缺乏多元化可能会阻碍创新的停滞，这可能会阻碍具有较大市场潜力的创新加工助剂的开发。

The market for alumina processing aids is expanding rapidly, driven by the global increase in aluminum consumption in end-use industries. Chemicals or additives known as alumina processing aids are used in the Bayer process and sintering, two refining techniques that produce alumina from bauxite ore. The tools are utilized to promote increased extraction efficiency and improve the quality of the alumina product, which encourages widespread adoption of these aids by alumina refining facilities across all geographies.

In November 2023 IIT Kharagpur and Vedanta Aluminum have developed a process that marginally reduces the production of bauxite residue, often known as red mud, during the alumina refining process. Aluminum is primarily extracted from bauxite using an intermediate procedure known as the Bayer process. The produces alumina, which is then electrolyzed to produce aluminum. By removing iron values and recovering a higher alumina yield, the patented technology reduces the total organic content of bauxite throughout the alumina refining process by an astounding 30%.

Dynamics

Relevance of Alumina Processing Helps to Increase Productivity in the Wake of Growing Aluminum Production

Optimizing the efficiency of alumina refining operations is necessary as aluminum production grows up to meet increasing demand. By ensuring that it's simpler to extract alumina from bauxite ore, alumina processing aids are essential in increasing the efficiency of these procedures. It contributes to shorter processing times, higher yield rates and increased overall productivity of alumina refining plants.

For instance, in January 2023, The International Aluminum Institute reports that global primary aluminum production reached 5.859 million Tons in December 2022, accounting for 68.417 million Tons of total output for the year. Despite production cuts at numerous smelting plants throughout the world brought on by the energy crisis, the global yearly production in 2022 increased by 1.97% over 67.092 million Tons the previous year. The global production of aluminum will increase by 2% due to the energy crisis, but China's output will surpass COVID limitations by 4%.

Expanding Alumina Refinery Capacities

Alumina processing aids are frequently used to maximize alumina production costs, lower energy usage and improve process efficiency. Growing capabilities lead to an increased focus on cost-effectiveness and efficiency, which increases the need for alumina processing aids that can help accomplish these targets. Expansion frequently follows developments in processing methods or technology. Demand in the market may be further stimulated by the need for specialized processing aids that newer technologies may need to operate properly or to provide desired results.

In August 2022, Adani Enterprises Limited proposed a 4 million Tons yearly alumina refinery and the High-Level Clearance Authority approved 10 industrial projects worth INR 74,620.18 crores. In the Rayagada area of Kashipur, the Adani group has proposed an investment of INR 41,653 crores to build a captive power plant with a capacity of 175 megawatts and an alumina refinery. Hence, above mentioned developments increase the alumina refinery capacities within mentioned region, which further boost the demand for the alumina processing aids to optimize the alumina quality.

Substitution and Alternative Technologies

The need for alumina processing aids may decline as a result of the creation and usage of substitute technologies or materials that may produce comparable outcomes without them. The market for alumina processing aids could be reduced if companies choose to substitute processing aids completely with more affordable or effective alternatives.

For example, catalysts are essential in the refining of petroleum because they enable a variety of chemical processes that transform crude oil into useful byproducts like jet fuel, diesel and petrol. In the past, alumina-based catalysts have been extensively employed in refining procedures to boost yields, improve selectivity and accelerate reactions. However, because of their improved performance qualities, substitute catalyst materials including zeolites and molecular sieves have become more well-known recently.

Additionally, the need for alumina processing aids used in catalyst manufacture is decreasing as refineries replace alumina-based catalysts with zeolites and molecular sieves more frequently. Alumina processing aids' market share may decrease as a result of industries adopting other technologies that offer better performance and efficiency.

Over Dependency on Alumina Market

An overreliance on the alumina industry could result in a saturated or stagnant market with little potential for growth because of its established consumer base or legal restrictions. In the long run, suppliers of processing aids can find it difficult to maintain growth and profitability if they don't have the chance to enter new markets or market niches.

A market where alumina is heavily dependent may have a slower rate of innovation in processing aids as businesses prioritize meeting the needs of their current clientele over investigating novel applications or technological advancements. Stagnant innovation may be discouraged by a lack of competitive pressure and little diversification, which could hinder the development of innovative processing aids with larger market potential.

Segment Analysis

The global alumina processing aids market is segmented based on type, application, end-user and region.

Customized Solutions for Bayer Alumina Refining Propel Demand

To meet the demanding caustic conditions of Bayer alumina refining, manufacturers such as BASF have developed products and dosing systems expressly for this purpose.

China and other nations in the Asia-Pacific that are connected to the alumina supply chain stand to gain from this invention.

On January 4, 2024, as per Shanghai Metal Market statistics, China's total alumina production in 2023 was 79.8 million Tons, utilizing an operating capacity of 80.04 million Tons at the end of December. After the year, 100 million Tons of installed capacity was available. China's total production figure for the year 2023 has been disclosed by the Shanghai Metals Market, along with the output of the world's largest alumina producer as of December 2023. Therefore, China holds for the majority of the regional market shares.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to lower consumer spending during the pandemic and economic downturns, alumina demand has declined in a number of industries, including manufacturing, automotive and construction. The market for processing aids was immediately impacted by this decline in demand for alumina and associated goods. Therefore, the impact of the decreased consumption heavily impacted the alumina processing aids in the global product market.

Operating difficulties in manufacturing facilities were brought about by labor scarcity, social distancing laws and health and safety regulations. The difficulties resulted into the lower productivity, higher expenses and production delays, which further impacted the availability of alumina processing aids.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

Apart from rising expenses, supply interruptions might also affect Russia's aluminum output, since Rusal is currently disconnected from 68% of its alumina imports. In 2021, 36% of these imports came from Ukraine, making it the main supplier. However, due to the conflict, the main alumina plant in Ukraine has closed. Australia was capturing about 32% of shares in overall Russia's alumina imports in 2021. Consequently, Australia announced in March 2022 that it would no longer permit the export of bauxite or alumina from Russia in reaction to the circumstances in Ukraine.

On April 8, 2022, the President of U.S. has signed a bill banning regular commercial relations with Russia in reaction to the situation in Ukraine. Previously ranging from 0 to 2.6%, import tariffs on unwrought aluminum from Russia range from 10.5 to 25.0%. Furthermore, this has led to price fluctuations in the global product market.
