Bauxite Mining Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type ( CA-50, CA-70, CA-80, Others ), By Application ( Metallurgical Alumina, Abrasives, Refractory, Cement, Others ) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
Bauxite is a type of sediment rock with highest content of aluminum. It is the world’s principal source of aluminum and gallium. Bauxite contains gibbsite, boehmite, diaspore, and 2 iron containing ores haemetite and geoethite. Bauxite is mined using strip mining method as the ores are found near surfaces of terrains. The extraction of alumina is carried by Bayer’s process. It is generally found in tropical and sub-tropical regions like Australia, Brazil, India, China and others.
Increasing demand from end-use industries like chemicals, constructions, general manufacturing, steel, electronics and others for aluminum and alumina based products is likely to foster the market. For instance, bauxite is directly employed in producing aluminum based flocculating agents. It is also used in making refractory products due to its high boiling point. The increasing use abrasives, alumina based quick setting cement, and other industries shall rive the market growth.
However, the stringent rules imposed by government on mining activities shall hinder the market growth. For instance, in 2015, the Malaysian government banned mining to control the growing pollution in the country. Such aspects are likely to limit the market growth.
