Indonesia is the largest exporter of potassium alum in Southeast Asia. Potassium Alum is a naturally occurring product, which is formed by the decomposition of feldspar and other minerals. The Indonesia government has taken steps to promote the use of potassium alum for various applications, such as water purification, food preservatives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and paper manufacturing. It also helps reduce air pollution from industrial sources. Indonesia exported about US$ 39 million worth of potash alum in 2025.
The demand for potassium alum has been on an upward trajectory due to its wide range of applications and benefits. Its price has remained relatively stable over time despite rising raw material costs and increasing demand from export markets including China and India. As environmental regulations become more stringent around the world, manufacturers are increasingly relying on potassium alum as an effective alternative to traditional chemical-based products used in water treatment processes or wastewater management systems. Additionally, advances in technology have enabled new production techniques that make it easier to extract higher purity levels from natural resources like bauxite ore or kaolin clay deposits found throughout Indonesia mineral-rich provinces such as Banten or Kalimantan Barat (West Kalimantan).
Potassium alums are beneficial because they are non-toxic materials with excellent biodegradability properties when compared with conventional chemicals used for industrial processes such as metal finishing or electroplating operations which often contain heavy metals like lead or mercury that can be hazardous if not handled properly during their disposal phase after usage is completed. Additionally, they are cheaper than competing products available on international markets making them attractive options for buyers seeking cost savings without sacrificing quality standards required by end customers across different industries ranging from automotive companies who require high corrosion resistance finishes all the way up to electronics manufacturers looking for precise contact surface treatments at low prices while maintaining strict safety specifications mandated by governments worldwide regarding human health risks associated with these kinds of activities being undertaken very close proximity towards residential areas where children may come into direct contact with residues left behind if no adequate protection measures were put into place prior any kind works involving dangerous chemicals like those mentioned before. Furthermore , it also provides better yields when applied onto certain types materials specially designed aluminum parts due its ability penetrate deep into pores leaving them fully protected against external elements that could cause corrosion damage even under extreme conditions highly corrosive environments thus reducing costly maintenance.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the global potassium alum market. The demand for potassium alum in Indonesia has been affected due to lockdown and other preventive measures that were taken by various countries across the world to contain the spread of this virus. This led to disruption in supply chains, increased costs of production and also lowered consumer confidence resulting in reduced consumption of goods containing potassium alum.
The Indonesia Potassium Alum industry faces a number of challenges including lack of infrastructure for efficient extraction, processing, transportation and storage capabilities which leads to high cost associated with importing these products from other countries as well as low quality control standards. Additionally, there are issues related to government regulations which often restrict or prohibit importation or exportations of certain types of product lines leading to difficulty in sourcing raw materials for manufacturing processes.
Some key players operating within the Indonesia Potassium Alum market include PT Chemical Industries Kaltim (KCI), PT Asahimas Chemiplast (AMC), PT Tirta Alam Segar Indah (TASI) and PT Pabrik Karbon Aktif Indonesia (PKA).
