In the year 2015, the LED bulbs’ application segment occupied a dominating position in the world HPA market, owing to the shift towards LED lighting as compared to traditional lighting. Moreover, stringent regulations have led to increased penetration of energy efficient light sources such as LED bulbs globally. In addition, increasing per capita consumption of power has boosted the demand for electricity worldwide, which has led to the rising demand for high purity alumina in lighting industry. Electronics display is another key application segment in this market since several companies are investing in better purity alumina in electronic displays, encompassing tablets, smartphones and smartwatches.

Hydrolysis is the commonly adopted technique to manufacture high purity alumina. HCL technique is not commercialized yet, but will be adopted by companies in the future since it helps to reduce the production cost of HPA.

Key findings of the study

• LED bulbs’ application segment occupied the highest share in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.5%, in terms of volume, during the analysis period.
• Hydrolysis technology dominated in 2015 and would continue to lead the HPA market throughout 2022.
• 5N type segment is expected to expand with the highest CAGR of 21.9%, in terms of volume, throughout the analysis period.
• China leads in consumption of the high purity alumina in the Asia-Pacific region followed by Japan.

Asia-Pacific accounted for more than half of the total high purity alumina market in 2015 and is expected to maintain its lead position throughout the forecast period, owing to the increasing domestic production of energy efficient lightings, such as LEDs. China is the fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific region during the forecast period (volume and revenue) since it is a hub for LED manufactures.
