Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, the Swedish aluminium hydroxide market was influenced by stricter fire safety regulations in construction and automotive sectors, supporting demand for the material as a flame retardant. Despite this, imports gradually declined from 113 K t in 2018 to 101.3 K t in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains and constrained availability.

Market volume continued to contract after 2020, falling to 93.8 K t in 2021 and 79.4 K t in 2022, while imports dropped to a low of 72.6 K t in 2023. Domestic production also decreased to 15.6 K t in 2021 before recovering to 18.6 K t the following year.

In 2024, imports rebounded sharply to 94.7 K t, coinciding with a global emphasis on enhanced fire safety and environmental standards, which stimulated demand for aluminium hydroxide in both industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
