The production and sales scale of ultrafine aluminum hydroxide continues to expand, and the industry development trend is improving
Ultrafine aluminum hydroxide, also known as hydrated alumina, refers to aluminum hydroxide products below 3 microns. It is a halogen-free and environmentally friendly flame retardant. According to the particle size, ultrafine aluminum hydroxide can be divided into ultrafine aluminum hydroxide less than 1 micron, 1-1.5 micron, and 1.5-3 micron. Ultrafine aluminum hydroxide has the characteristics of good insulation performance, good heat resistance, large specific surface area, low wear index, high melting point, and high strength. It is widely used in electronics, petroleum, chemical industry, refractory materials, plastics, textiles and other fields.
The upstream of the ultrafine aluminum hydroxide industry chain is bauxite, caustic soda, limestone and other raw materials as well as production equipment suppliers such as jet mills, high-efficiency concentration devices, feeders, flash dryers; the midstream is Zhenhua Co., Ltd., Shibang Chemical , Zhongshun New Materials, China Super League Co., Ltd., Zibo Pengfeng, Huber, Nabaltec, Showa Denko and other ultrafine aluminum hydroxide manufacturers; downstream are flame retardants, smoke suppressants, fillers, catalysts, wires and cables, special ceramics, thermal insulation Application scenarios such as materials; terminals are application fields such as electricity, electronics, chemicals, and plastics.
From the perspective of the global market, China, the United States, and Europe are currently the main producers of ultrafine aluminum hydroxide in the world. In 2021, their output will account for 31%, 29%, and 27% of the total global ultrafine aluminum hydroxide production respectively. The global ultrafine aluminum hydroxide market has shown continued growth. In 2021, the global ultrafine aluminum hydroxide market will be 12.84 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%.
From the perspective of the domestic market, my country’s ultrafine aluminum hydroxide industry started late but is developing rapidly. In recent years, as local ultrafine aluminum hydroxide companies have continuously introduced advanced equipment and made breakthroughs in key technologies, their production capacity has been continuously released. According to China’s Ultrafine Aluminum Hydroxide Industry Market Supply and Demand Status and Development Trend Forecast Report 2022-2026″ shows that my country’s ultrafine aluminum hydroxide production will reach 695,000 tons in 2021. At present, my country has become the largest producer of ultrafine aluminum hydroxide in the world, and the development trend of the domestic industry is improving.
From the perspective of application fields, flame retardants and smoke suppressants are currently the main application fields of ultrafine aluminum hydroxide in my country. In 2021, the two together account for 90% of the market share of ultrafine aluminum hydroxide. Among them, ultrafine aluminum hydroxide is mainly used in the field of wires and cables as an environmentally friendly flame retardant. According to national requirements, most of the sheath materials used in communication cables and optical cables currently need to add flame retardants. As an important part of the national infrastructure, the market demand for wires and cables has been increasing rapidly in recent years, which has led to the increasing market demand and scale of ultra-fine aluminum hydroxide, and the industry has broad prospects for development.
Industry analysts personnel said that the current gap between the product technology and quality of local ultrafine aluminum hydroxide companies and leading foreign companies is growing. Shrinking, domestic production capacity is being continuously released; at the same time, against the background of the increasing number of domestic infrastructure projects, the expanding scale of wires and cables has driven the increasing market demand for ultra-fine aluminum hydroxide. Against the background of the continuous development of the supply and demand market, the development trend of the domestic ultrafine aluminum hydroxide industry is improving.
