Biotechnology is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Aluminum Deoxidizer Market
The global Aluminum Deoxidizer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.13 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Aluminum deoxidizers are used in aluminum production as refining agents. They help remove oxygen from molten aluminum during the smelting process. This improves the purity and fluidity of aluminum. Aluminum deoxidizers based on calcium, cerium, lanthanum and other rare earth metals perform the function of deoxidizing more efficiently.
Market key trends:
Growing use of biotechnology in aluminum deoxidization is a key trend fueling market growth. Researchers are developing biological agents like genetically engineered bacteria that can deoxidize aluminum in-situ without adding any foreign elements. This facilitates a more eco-friendly and cost-effective deoxidization process. Adoption of biotechnology helps minimize slag formation and avoids addition of reactive earth metals. It also removes the need for intensive physical agitation during smelting. Ongoing R&D to develop robust and viable bacterial strains for a self-sufficient bioprocess will further support the uptake of green deoxidization methods in the aluminum industry.
Segment Analysis
The global aluminum deoxidizer market is segmented into alumina and calcium/strontium based deoxidizers. Among these, the alumina based deoxidizers dominate the market and accounted for around 70% share in 2023. Alumina is highly effective in removing dissolved oxygen and other residual elements from aluminum during casting and is hence the preferred type of deoxidizer.
Key Takeaways
The global aluminum deoxidizer market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period, due to increasing demand from the aluminum alloy manufacturing industry.
