by Aluminum deoxidizers are chemical compounds mainly used during the production of aluminum and aluminum alloys to prevent the formation of oxide films. They react with dissolved oxygen in molten aluminum to form stable inert oxides and deoxidize the melt. Some key applications of aluminum deoxidizers include deoxidation of molten aluminum during casting and welding processes in various end-use industries such as construction, transportation, packaging, and electrical. The global aluminum deoxidizer market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
Growing Usage of Aluminum: Aluminum finds widespread application in various industries due to properties such as lightweight, durability, corrosion resistance, and moldability. Rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies have boosted the demand for aluminum in construction, automotive, packaging, and other industries. Increasing application of aluminum in these end-use sectors is expected to drive the demand for aluminum deoxidizers during the forecast period.
Usage of Aluminum in Various Applications: Aluminum is increasingly being used in aerospace, marine, construction, transportation, electrical & electronics and other applications due to its superior properties.
