Aluminium Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and outlook (2023-2030)

Aluminium Market Report Overview

Global Aluminium Market reached US$ 152.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 233.3 bllion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

The global market for aluminium is expanding significantly due to the rising usage of aluminium pigments in coatings and paints. Due to rising demand from end-use industries like automotive, packaging, construction, and cosmetics, aluminium pigments are being used in more coatings and paints. The need for aluminium pigments has been growing along with the demand for highly functional and aesthetically pleasing coatings and paints.

In July 2023, According to a summary of their discussion from the USTR's office, Mexican Secretary of Economy Raquel Buenrostro and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai talked about the significance of Mexico addressing the "recent surge" in imports of steel and aluminium goods into U.S. 

Mexico was required to ensure greater transparency with regard to imports of steel and aluminium from third nations as part of the deal. Furthermore, developments like these drives the growth of U.S. market and U.S. holds the majority of the regional shares and is expected to grow at a highest CAGR.

Aluminium Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for Primary Aluminium

The term "primary aluminium" describes the metal that is obtained directly from the mining of bauxite ore and subsequent refining procedures.  Aluminium is widely used in the construction industry, especially for roofing, windows, doors, facades, and structural elements. 

For instance, According to European Aluminium, the annual demand for primary aluminium is currently 9 million tonnes, and in 2050, it is predicted to increase to 18 million tonnes. With over 600 factories spread across 30 different European countries, the European aluminium value chain is one of the continent's most extensive and thriving raw materials industries. The European aluminium sector, which supports six of the EU's fourteen industrial ecosystems, is an essential component in the implementation of the European Green Deal.  

Increased Packaged Goods Sales

In the food and beverage, aviation, transportation, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries, aluminium foil is a common packaging material. Due to its strong malleability, it may be easily rolled, folded, and moulded to meet packaging requirements. Aluminium foil's inherent qualities allow it to be converted into various materials, including paper wraps, containers, tablet packs, and more. Due to its high reflectivity, it is used in both decorative and functional applications.

In June 27, 2023, With a reported reduction of more than 50% in carbon footprint compared to the average for primary aluminium sold in Europe, Amcor Capsules and aluminium suppliers Aludium have worked together to produce what they are describing as a certified and independently verified "low-carbon" aluminium product for use in screwcaps.

Volatility in Prices

Since it takes a lot of energy to produce aluminium, it is referred to as an energy-intensive base metal. Aluminium must be obtained from bauxite ore and converted because it does not exist in its purest form. Through the Hall-Héroult electrolytic reduction process, it must first be chemically purified into alumina (aluminium oxide) and then smelted into aluminium. Due to the fact that energy is a variable with its own set of supply and demand characteristics, this has an effect on the price of aluminium as a whole. 

Aluminium Market Segmentation Analysis

The global aluminium market is segmented based on product, application, end-user and region.

Customization, Versatility, and Diverse Applications Drives the Segmantal Growth

A variety of alloys are available in alloy aluminium that can be customised to satisfy the unique needs of various sectors. After mixing components like copper, zinc, magnisium and silicon with aluminium manufacturers can get desired characteristics such as improved strength, better thermal conductivity and so on. It is also being used in consumer good product application.

For instance, in May 2023, The Xiaoxin Ergonomic Chair C5 Air and Xiaoxin Aluminium Alloy Cooling Bracket Z2 for laptops have been introduced by Lenovo. The Xiaoxin Aluminium Alloy Cooling Bracket Z2 was additionally introduced by the Chinese tech company. With a very large hollow and foldable design, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Aluminium Alloy Cooling Bracket Z2 is made of aluminium alloy. 

It has CNC processing at the corners and is constructed of 4 mm thick aluminium alloy material. Therefore, the alloy aluminium product segment dominates the global market with more than half of the total global segmental market share.

Aluminium Market Geographical Share

Growing Production in the China Supplements the Growth of the Asia-Pacific Market

China is the leading producer in the region and the growing production in Asia-Pacific countries drives the growth of the global aluminium market. 

In July 2023, According to figures released recently, China's primary aluminium output increased in June compared to the same month a year earlier as smelters in the southwest province of Yunnan resumed operations after restrictions on local power usage were lifted.

According to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, the top producer of aluminium in the world produced 3.46 million metric tonnes of primary aluminium last month, up 2.9% from the same time previous year.

Yunnan, China's fourth-largest producer of aluminium, started increasing power to the sector late last month as a result of additional rains in the area, which mainly relies on hydropower. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific dominates the global aluminium with significant global market share.

Aluminium Companies and Competitive Landscape

The major global players include Alcoa Corporation, Aluminium Corporation of China Limited, Century Aluminium Company, Rio Tinto, United Company RUSAL, Norsk Hydro ASA, Emirates Global Aluminium, National Aluminium Company Limited, Aluminium Bahrain and Kaiser Aluminium Corporation. 

COVID-19 Impact On Aluminium Market

Three primary causes led to the major supply restrictions beginning with the introduction of COVID-19 in early 2020: factory closures, port closures, and a lack of container ships. Chinese factory closures in particular caused delays and production bottlenecks throughout Asia. Other manufacturers reliant on the same source upstream are affected downstream if an upstream producer experiences delayed production.

Similar difficulties have been faced by ports; many of them have to halt operations or limit labour to prevent epidemics. As a result, there were bottlenecks in the free flow of products. The requirement for raw materials increased as manufacturers began to open up gradually. To fulfil this surge in demand, there aren't enough large container ships available. The end result is a steep increase in transportation and production costs, a worsening of shortages, and significant delays. Therefore, above mentioned factors hinders the growth of the global aluminium market during pandemic.
