Global Bauxite Market is valued approximately USD 15.59 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 1.70 % over the forecast period 2022-2028. Bauxite is an amorphous clayey rock that is the commercial ore of aluminium and majorly contains hydrated alumina with variable proportions of iron oxides. After iron , aluminium comes as the world's most used metal as it has a wide range of applications in transportation and packaging sector owing to its properties such as high chemical stability in different environments, high melting point, hardness strength, and electrical resistance. Increase in demand of alumina for industrial and automotive sectors is acting as a major driver of this market . Rising demand for aluminum flat-rolled products in automotive industries and its usage as a raw material in making refractory products is making its manufacturers increase their production capacity, thereby further fueling the demand for bauxite. The demand for aluminium is expected to rise due to favourable government regulations for electric vehicles (EVs) and increased investment in the development of lightweight automobiles. In the projection period, this trend is likely to be beneficial to the bauxite industry's growth. Volvo Cars, for example, agreed in February 2022 to invest in aluminium massive casting at its Torslanda manufacturing factory in Sweden. The investment is about USD 1.1 billion, and the giant casting simplifies the manufacturing process while lowering the overall environmental impact. However, environmental concern related to bauxite mining and the use of magnesium alloy and carbon fiber as the primary substitutes for aluminum in the automotive sector impedes the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2022-2028. =
The key regions considered for the Global Bauxite Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia pacific region is expected to dominate the market owing to rapid industrialization and an increase in usage of aluminum in various industries, such as building and construction, foil and packaging, the demand for bauxite continues to increase in the region. North America is expected to register the fastest growth across the forecast period. The widespread presence of numerous end-users in the region along with large-scale automobile plants, a robust construction industry, and infrastructural developments are propelling the demand for alumina, which is further anticipated to benefit the demand for bauxite in the forecast period.
