Fumed Alumina Market Analysis, Industry Outlook, Growth and Forecast 2027

Fumed alumina is available as a fine metal oxide with a high specific surface area, low bulk density, superfine particle size, high purity, good dispersibility, and a positive surface charge. Fumed alumina are powders that are available with either hydrophobic or hydrophilic surfaces.
In powder form, fumed alumina occurs as fine, white, and extremely fluffy substance. Fumed alumina is also available in a stable aqueous dispersion depending on the kind of application.
It is primarily utilized in powder coatings in order to improve flow and chargeability. Furthermore, fumed alumina is used in photo paper to provide high gloss and excellent printing properties.
It is also extensively employed in the applications that majorly include adhesives and sealants, coatings, printing and packaging, silicone sealants, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) skin and beauty care products

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and resist etching-back (REB) processes are utilized to fabricate semiconductor devices to planarize shallow trenches. Therefore, rapid increase in the demand for chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) from the semiconductor industry is expected to drive the global fumed alumina market during the forecast period.
Ease of use, strong bond between dissimilar materials, and high cohesive strength offered by adhesive & sealants are making them widely acceptable by construction, packing and transportation industries. Thus, an increase in the demand for fumed alumina for manufacturing of adhesive & sealants is expected to the drive the global fumed alumina market in the near future.
