Global Aluminum Market Definition

Aluminum is an electronegative metal, which has a strong empathy for oxygen. It is the sixth most ductile and second most malleable metal present on earth. It is surprisingly light has a density, is waterproof to dust, possesses a high degree of conductivity, and exhibits significant strength when alloyed. Aluminum smelting is referred to as the industrial activity in the non-ferrous metal processes. It is broadly used in food & packaging and pharmaceutical industries, as it is nontoxic in nature, protects the food for long-lasting, and inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

Aluminum is a good electrical conductor and thus is used routinely in electrical transmission lines. Moreover, it is used as the principal energy for solid rocket booster motors in space shuttles due to its high volumetric energy density. Corrosion resistance, recyclability, and reflectivity are other features of Aluminum, which makes it an advantageous choice for various industrial applications. It is amply used in the fitness and sports equipment such as baseball nets, soccer goalposts, exercise machines, and archery equipment. Refrigerators Air conditioning condensers and other home appliance trim and components also use aluminum owing to its ability to improve product efficiency.

Therefore, the rising application scope in consumer durable and other consumer goods is anticipated to drive the Aluminum Market growth. Increasing demand for flat-rolled products such as sheet, plate, and foil owing to features of strength, durability, and lightness is giving a boost to the global Aluminum Market. With the help of the rolling process, the product can be rolled to the desired thickness, making it more versatile for diverse industrial applications. Furthermore, in the packaging industry, these sheets are used to manufacture packaging foils and cans, by working as a barrier against bacteria, oxygen, light, and moisture.

Global Aluminum Market Overview

The rise in disposable income acts as a primary growth driver in the Global Aluminum Market. The global Aluminum Market is mainly galvanized by rising demand from the automotive and building & construction industries. Asides from this, the swift increase in construction spending in developed and developing countries as a result of rapid urbanization and economic growth has increased the demand for aluminum. Furthermore, the enlarged demand for lightweight and high-strength materials to refine the fuel efficiency of vehicles and reduce the carbon footprint is expected to further foster market growth.

Besides, savage competition from alternative materials such as glass and plastics might stagnate the market growth. Aluminum is a budget-friendly material and is extensively used in the automotive industry. Aluminum processors around the world realize this and are investing a significant share of their revenue in r&d activities for the development of newer generations of aluminum products. Rigorous government regulations on aluminum products to decrease the environmental effect have shifted the industry focus toward sustainability.

Aluminum use in packaging will advance due to the rapid addition of processed food and beverage products in developing countries. Also, aluminum is used in pharmaceuticals. Aluminum blister foils find application in pharma packaging for packing tablets and capsules. The blister packaging includes a molded plastic that has voids separate from a tablet made from aluminum foils. The reason 90% of aluminum in building and automotive parts are recycled at end of life and 75% that has historically been produced is still in circulation today is due to the ease of recycling of aluminum and its relative value. Domestically, aluminum is the most valuable item put into a recycling bin.
