High-Purity Alumina (HPA) is an extremely pure form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). It is commonly produced through methods such as hydrolysis of aluminum oxide, hydrochloric acid leaching, underwater spark discharge with aluminum, and vapor-phase oxidation. HPA is known for its non-corrosive properties.
The primary types of high-purity alumina are categorized by their purity levels, including 4N, 5N, and 6N. The designation '4N' signifies a purity level of greater than 99.99%, and it is utilized in the manufacturing of LED sapphire crystal raw materials, high-pressure sodium lamp tubes, and other applications. Various technologies are employed in the production of high-purity alumina, such as hydrolysis, hydrochloric acid methods, and others. HPA finds applications in diverse industries, including LED bulbs, semiconductor substrates, lithium-ion batteries, optical lenses, biomedical devices, and more.

The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased penetration of smartphones, growth in the electronics and semiconductor industry, and an increase in the adoption of LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs.
The high purity alumina market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as rapid urbanization, increased government support, a growing demand for electric vehicles, and an increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include strategic partnerships and collaborations aimed at improving financial strength, strengthening product portfolios, and expanding geographical presence. Additionally, there is a trend toward advancing and developing innovative product solutions to enhance and solidify market positions.
The high-quality alumina market is anticipated to experience growth, driven by the expanding electronics and semiconductor industries. Semiconductors, with conductivity between conductors and non-conductors, are integral to electronic devices. High-purity alumina, renowned for its mechanical strength, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and insulation properties, is crucial in manufacturing various electronics and semiconductor components. Notably, in October 2021, the Semiconductor Industry Association reported a 29.7% increase in global semiconductor industry sales, reaching $47.2 billion in August 2021 compared to the previous year's $36.4 billion. This underscores the impact of the growing electronics and semiconductor industries on the high-quality alumina market.
The high purity alumina (HPA) market is set to benefit from the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, powered by electric motors instead of traditional internal combustion engines, are experiencing substantial growth. HPA contributes to the safety, performance, and efficiency of key EV components. As of May 2022, the International Energy Agency reported a significant surge in EV sales, nearly doubling from the previous year to reach a record 10.2 million units in 2021. Projections indicate a continued upward trajectory, with global sales of electric cars expected to reach 14 million units in 2023, reflecting a remarkable 35% growth. Hence, the increasing demand for electric vehicles acts as a catalyst for the high purity alumina market.
Innovation is a prominent trend in the high-quality alumina market, with major companies focused on developing cutting-edge products. For instance, in April 2022, Tethon Corporation Inc. collaborated with Showa Denko America, Inc. to introduce high-purity alumina for ceramic additive manufacturing. This UV resin, featuring increased ceramic loading compared to competitors, showcases advancements in materials for additive manufacturing, particularly in the ceramic domain.
Investments aimed at expanding production capacities are a strategic focus for companies in the high-quality alumina market. Addressing the growing demand for high-purity alumina, companies are allocating resources to enhance production capabilities. In January 2021, Ara Partners invested in Polar Sapphire, facilitating the construction of a large-scale commercial production facility with a capacity of 1,000 tons per year. This move positions Polar Sapphire to meet increasing demand in applications such as lithium-ion batteries, LED lighting, semiconductors, and consumer electronics.
In January 2022, Lanthanein Resources Limited acquired the Yangibana Rare Earth Elements (REE) and Koolya High Purity Alumina (HPA) projects from Dalkeith Capital Pty Ltd. This strategic move allows Lanthanein Resources to diversify its portfolio, entering the REE and HPA markets, aligning with the growing demand for these critical minerals in various applications.
