The potassium alum market in Qatar is estimated to be worth about $2 million annually. Major suppliers of potassium alum include BASF SE and Mallinath Metal & Alloys Pvt Ltd among others who export their products mainly from India into Qatarchemical industry where they are primarily used as coagulants for water treatment processes across various industries including food processing plants. In 2025, total annual imports were approximately 1120tons which accounted for almost 85% share while local production accounted for rest 15%.
The Qatar potassium alum market`s growth is driven by its applications in the cosmetic and water treatment sectors. Potassium alum, commonly known as alum, is used in cosmetics as an astringent and antiperspirant. In water treatment, it aids in purifying water by removing impurities. As personal care and environmental concerns gain importance, the demand for potassium alum is expected to increase, supporting market expansion.
Challenges in the Qatar potassium alum market include competition from alternative chemicals and shifting consumer preferences. Potassium alum is used in various applications, including in cosmetics and food additives. However, the availability of alternative chemicals with similar properties and changing consumer preferences for natural and organic products can impact the demand for potassium alum-based products.
The COVID-19 pandemic had implications for the Qatar Potassium Alum market. The restrictions on gatherings and events led to a decline in demand for products in which Potassium Alum is used, such as cosmetics, personal care items, and water purification. The closure of retail outlets and reduced consumer spending also impacted the market. However, as the situation improves, the market is anticipated to recover. The potential growth in the personal care industry and the gradual reopening of the economy could drive demand for Potassium Alum in Qatar.
Notable companies like Qatar Alum Industries, Gulf Chemical Enterprises, and Qatar Specialty Materials are integral to the Qatar potassium alum market. Potassium alum`s applications in cosmetics, food additives, and water purification contribute to its market growth.
