Global aluminum sulfate market: Key drivers and trends
There is a growing demand for aluminum sulfate for various niche applications including algae boom removal from waterbodies and poultry litter formulation. Aluminum sulfate reacts with phosphorus and other unwanted elements and settles at the bottom of the water bodies. This helps in cleaning the water and preventing the formation of algae in water bodies such as lakes. Aluminum sulfate also helps in maintaining healthy livestock, feed consumption, and low mortality rate by reducing the ammonia levels in poultry farms. The low cost and high efficiency of aluminum sulfate make it highly popular for use in such applications. The increasing demand for aluminum sulfate for these niche applications is identified as a critical trend that will have a positive impact on the growth of the aluminum sulfate market size.
The scarcity of safe and potable water has boosted the demand for water treatment chemicals such as aluminum sulfate. Aluminum sulfate acts as a coagulant which helps in removing colloidal and suspended particles from wastewater. It also helps in removing turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total organic carbon (TOC) from water. Global warming and changing climatic conditions will limit the availability of water resources and consequently boost the demand for aluminum sulfate. Moreover, there is also an increase in investments and government support for the development of water and wastewater treatment projects primarily in the APAC region. This will further fuel the demand for aluminum sulfate for use as coagulants in water treatment plants. The growth of the global water and wastewater chemicals market will also contribute to the growth of the aluminum sulfate market, which will register a CAGR of almost 3% during the forecast period.
