Metallurgical grade segment occupies a sizeable share as it is the primary raw material used in the production of aluminium
Metallurgical grade bauxite holds a significant market share because it is the main raw material for producing alumina, which is then used to produce aluminium metal. Metallurgical grade bauxite has a high alumina content compared to other grades as it typically contains between 40 to 60 per cent of alumina. This high alumina content is essential for the efficient production of alumina, making it more economically viable for aluminium production compared to lower-grade bauxite. Metallurgical grade bauxite is further preferred for aluminium production because it requires less energy and resources to process compared to other materials and the efficiency in processing reduces overall production costs.
Refractory grade bauxite is anticipated to witness sizeable growth in the bauxite market in the forecast period. This bauxite is highly resistant to high temperatures, making it an ideal material for manufacturing refractory products. These products are essential for high-temperature operations in various industrial sectors, including steel, glass, cement, and ceramics manufacturing. The ability to withstand extreme temperatures without degrading makes refractory-grade bauxite a critical component in these industrial sectors.
Alumina production maintains its dominance in the market as it is the primary process for the conversion of bauxite ore
Alumina production holds a sizeable share of the bauxite market because it is the primary process through which bauxite ore is converted into aluminium oxide (alumina), which is then used to produce aluminium metal, one of the most versatile and widely used metals in the world. The global demand for aluminium continues to grow due to its advantageous properties such as lightweight, strength, recyclability, and conductivity. Industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and packaging are increasingly using aluminium to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and performance of their products which in turn, drives the demand for alumina.
The refractory segment witnesses a substantial share in the bauxite market as bauxite is a primary source of alumina (aluminium oxide, Al2O3), which is crucial for refractory materials. Refractories made from high alumina content are known for their ability to withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for industrial sectors that operate at extreme temperatures, such as steel, glass, and cement manufacturing.
