[199 Pages Report] The Alumina Trihydrate Market size was estimated at USD 1.88 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.00 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.58% to reach USD 2.94 billion by 2030.

Alumina trihydrate, also known as ATH or aluminum hydroxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Al(OH)3. It naturally occurs as the mineral gibbsite and also as the crystalline component of bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum. Alumina trihydrate is utilized across various industries due to its flame-retardant properties, ability to release water when heated, and as a feedstock for the manufacture of other aluminum compounds. Additionally, it serves as a filler in plastics, a cost-effective extender in paint formulations, and is employed in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics for its absorbent and anti-caking characteristics. The alumina trihydrate market is propelled by its extensive use as a flame retardant or smoke suppressant in plastics, paper, textiles, and building materials. Rising safety regulations and standards across global industries, especially in construction and electrical applications, drive the demand. The push for environmentally friendly and non-toxic fire retardant additives further bolsters the growth of the ATH market. Despite the growth prospects, the volatility in raw material prices, which can significantly impact production costs, and the presence of cheaper substitutes and alternatives may hinder market growth. However, advancements in ATH applications in newer fields, such as water treatment or polymer composites, present a future growth landscape. Investment in R&D for enhanced ATH grades with superior properties is also anticipated to boost the market expansion in the coming future.
