Global Alumina Market Overview:
Alumina is obtained by bauxite which is an ore mined from topsoil in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. For the production of aluminum, the alumina is smelted by the electrolytic process. Alumina is known as aluminum oxide which is widely used as ceramic material in various applications such as tap washers, spark plugs, abrasion-resistant tiles, cutting tools, etc. It is basically a chemical compound consists of aluminum and oxygen molecules, it is a white powder that looks similar to the granular sugar or salt. Some of the players profiled in the study are Alumina Limited (Australia), Alcoa Corporation (United States), BHP Billiton (Australia), Glencore plc (Switzerland), United Company RUSAL (Russia), Norsk Hydro ASA (Norway), Vale S.A. (Brazil), Orbite Technologies Inc. (Canada) and Hindalco Industries Limited (India).
On the basis of geography, the market of Alumina has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). If we see Market by Industry Vertical, the sub-segment i.e. Construction will boost the Alumina market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth. If we see Market by Grade, the sub-segment i.e. Refractory Grade will boost the Alumina market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.

Key Market Developments:
On 9th April 2020, Potential high-purity alumina (HPA) producer Orbite Technologies in Canada, has been acquired by AEM Canada Group. The assets AEM Canada is buying from Orbite include its Cap-Chat process plant, its technical development center located in Laval, and its suite of 41 patents associated with the process technology developed for the Cap-Chat plant.
"The European Union, however, has an index of Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) content that is allowable in various building materials; some countries in the EU have used red muds in building materials. Internationally, only about 2-3% of bauxite residuals are reused in a productive way."
