Dublin, Aug. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global High Purity Alumina Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.
The global high-purity alumina market to grow at a CAGR of 27.11% during the period 2016-2020. Covered in this report The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global high-purity alumina market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top five vendors operating in the market. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers influencing the market growth and the challenges faced by the vendors and the market as a whole. It also examines key emerging trends and their influence on the current and future market scenarios. The report also discusses the regional segmentation for each geography.
According to the report, a key growth driver is the growing adoption of LED lighting systems and displays. In 2015, single-crystal sapphire used in LED manufacturing accounted for 55.09% of high-purity alumina production. LED lighting technology provides energy efficiency, durability, sustainability, and safety, which are fueling its use in housing and commercial applications.
LEDs offer more advantages than incandescent lighting, which is fast losing market share among end-users. The global LED lighting market for industrial applications was $2.34 billion in 2015 and is anticipated to reach $6.26 billion by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 21.75%. Further, the report states that one challenge that could hamper market growth is the rising cost of production. Power prices account for a significant share of the aluminum production cost. Due to increasing demand for energy, the prices are shooting, leading to the closure of many smelters.
The traditional high-purity alumina production method, which enhances the purity of alumina, results in massive exploration, mining, labor, reagents, and energy costs. Production costs increase mainly because of the significant amount of electricity consumed during the process. Also, any increase in energy tariff affects a vendor's profit margins.
