High Purity Boehmite Market is projected to register a CAGR of over 10% during the forecast period. It is projected to reach a value of USD 220 million by 2024. High-purity boehmite is an integral component of bauxite and falls under the category of aluminum oxide hydroxide minerals. High-purity boehmite is present in alumino-silicate bedrocks and is further extracted and processed to make it suitable for numerous commercial applications. These high-purity boehmites, which are generally present as nano-sized particles in a dispersed phase, offer a unique amalgamation of dispersibility, purity, and consistency. High-purity boehmite is available in powdered form in white color. It sometimes exhibits green, red, brown, and yellow tinges due to the impurities present in it.

Market Overview
The growth of the global high-purity boehmite market is majorly driven due to its use in lithium battery separator as a coating. The use of high-purity boehmite coating offers high thermal stability, chemical stability, long life, and high heat shrink-ability. Inclination towards the use of electric and hybrid vehicles on account of the stringent government regulations to curb CO2 emissions has resulted in an increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. This, in turn, drives the demand for high-purity boehmite. High-purity boehmite is also used as a refractory material, which is further used in cement and glass production. Industrialization and urbanization across the globe are expected to fuel the growth of the construction industry, which will propel the demand for cement and thus, the growth of the global market. Moreover, refractories resist degradation by corrosive gases, liquids, or solids at elevated temperatures. Since molten glass is highly corrosive, the use of refractories in glass production is increasing, which also fuels the demand for high-purity boehmites. It also finds application in the valve-regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries, which are among one of the most important energy storage devices. VRLA batteries are used in automotive, telecommunication, and renewable energy system, among others. These batteries offer advantages such as low cost, high safety, improved energy efficiency, and reliability. Additionally, it is a functional filler, which is used as a carrier material for catalytic converters and as a flame retardant in printed circuit boards. The growth of the electronics industry worldwide is expected to increase the demand for high-purity boehmite during the assessment period.

However, the high cost of the processing technology is expected to hamper the market growth during the review period.
