High Purity Alumina (HPA) Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026

High purity alumina is utilized in applications such as LED production, semiconductor industry, sapphire substrates (such as sapphire glass, monocrystals, LCDs, etc.), lithium-ion battery production (as battery separator coatings) among others. Production costs for LEDs and related products have declined over the recent past. Furthermore, this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. Thus, steady rise in demand for LEDs and the corresponding increase in LED production are expected to drive the consumption of high purity alumina during the forecast period.

Recent advances in LED technology have prompted governments to quickly adopt the technology. With development in energy efficient technology, developed as well as developing economies are quickly moving to LEDs to avert an energy crisis. For instance, the government of China offers substantial subsidies for LED production in order to ensure rapid expansion of the LED industry in the country. Also, the U.S. Department of Energy has highlighted the benefits associated with the switchover to LED lighting against conventional lighting. Accordingly, there has been a significant focus on increasing the penetration of LEDs, especially in lighting applications in the U.S..

Companies are continuously adopting the strategy of expanding their geographical footprint through capacity expansion, introduction of new products, and expansion of end-use portfolios. For instance, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. expanded the production capacity of a manufacturing facility for high-purity alumina, used mainly as a raw material for sapphire substrates used in LEDs, from 1,600 tons per year to 3,200 tons per year.

Production of high purity alumina is highly capital intensive, which creates high entry barriers for new entrants. High production costs result in high cost of end-products and relatively low profitability. Thus, the market is highly consolidated and is mainly dominated by major players based in China, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S.
