The alunite market is segmented by end user industry (pharmaceuticals, FMCG, cosmetics and others); by product type (natroalunite, potassium alunite) and by regions.

Alunite or Alum stone is accessible in abundance in rock-forming sulfate mineral that takes up spaces or layers in volcanic rocks such as rhyolites, trachytes, and andesites, where it is composed gradually through a chemical reaction with escaping sulfurous vapor from molten lava. It is found in varying colors including yellow, red, reddish brown and others. It is utilized extensively to make potash alum, which is used for treatment of water, aftershave treatment and has little known kitchen use. Alum has different household and industrial applications too, in day-to-day purposes such as purification of drinking water which has been possible with the utilization of potassium alum. In many places, potassium alum is preferred to treat water instead of water purifiers and filters. In pharmaceuticals, alunite derivatives have a significant role in developing a chemical named flocculation, which is used in the manufacturing of styptic pencil. This pencil is applied on minor cuts and injuries to stop bleeding.

Alunite market is anticipated to mark a CAGR of 4.15% during the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. Asia Pacific is expected to lead the global alunite market on the back of increasing industrialization in the field of pharmaceuticals and derivatives that have an extensive use for water treatment in these regions. Further, Europe is anticipated to observe significant growth on the back of growing consumption of personal care products in the region. North America is imparted with some of the largest alunite deposits and presence of industries which consume large amount of alunite in this region.
