The USA and Canada alumina market is poised for robust expansion through 2035, propelled by surging demand for lightweight materials in electric vehicles (EVs), aerospace components, and renewable energy systems. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 3.86 billion in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 6.35 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.

The FMI report, “USA and Canada Alumina Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals that revenues will increase by over USD 2.49 billion during the decade, driven by high-purity alumina (HPA) adoption in LEDs, lithium-ion batteries, and low-carbon aluminum production 

A Decade of Growth Anchored by HPA Demand and Green Technologies:

The shift toward high-purity and metallurgical-grade alumina is transforming the North American landscape. Between 2025 and 2030, the market will grow by USD 1.1 billion, led by automotive lightweighting and aerospace advancements. From 2030 to 2035, FMI projects an additional USD 1.39 billion in expansion, supported by alumina recycling, carbon-neutral refining, and infrastructure investments.

“High-purity alumina is critical for next-generation EVs and energy storage,” said an FMI research analyst. “Regulatory pressures and ESG commitments are accelerating investments in sustainable processes, ensuring long-term viability.”
