Aluminium Market

Market Overview:

The global aluminium market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during 2023-2028. The increasing sales of vehicles, rising consumption of RTE food products, and the growing construction activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Aluminium (Al) refers to a silvery white metal that is soft, lightweight, durable, malleable, strong, flexible, and capable of withstanding harsh environments. It is produced by smelting aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃), which is obtained through the refining of bauxite ore. It is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat and resistant to corrosion and oxidation. It can be compounded with other elements, such as copper, magnesium, zinc, iron, nickel, and silicone to improve its properties. It is used in heat exchangers, such as radiators and condensers, which help in improving cooling efficiency. It is also utilized for the packaging of medicines, medical products, vials, and other supplies to protect and preserve the potency and effectiveness of medications.

Aluminium Market Trends:

Al is employed in the automotive industry for manufacturing various components of the vehicle, including doors, hoods, fenders, control arms, brake calipers, engine blocks, turbochargers, fuel tanks, and wheels. This, coupled with the increasing sales of passenger and luxury vehicles and initiatives undertaken by governments of different countries to reduce carbon emissions, currently represents one of the key factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising use of Al in the packaging industry on account of its numerous advantages, such as excellent thermal conductivity properties, lightweight, and ability to protect contents from moisture and oxygen, is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, Al finds application in the food and beverage (F&B) industry for making packaging containers as it helps retain the flavor and integrity of the content. This, along with the growing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products on account of hectic schedules and expanding purchasing power of consumers, is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of Al in the construction sector to help create durable, energy efficient, and aesthetically appealing buildings due to the rising construction activities in residential, commercial, and industrial areas are contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the growing usage of Al in the packaging of skincare and cosmetic products like creams, bodywash, perfumes, soaps, lipstick, compacts, and moisturizers is creating a favorable outlook for the market.
