The global aluminium market is anticipated to expand at substantial CAGR during the forecast period, between 2021 and 2028. Aluminium is a silvery-white element which is non-magnetic, light weight, and ductile in nature. It is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust and generally found in combined form with other metals and non-metals. Its impressive properties such as light weight, high conductivity, imperviousness to dust, malleability, and ductility makes it the second ranked metal in terms of consumption volume, after steel. It is used in a variety of products, including foils, cans, high-rise buildings, sports equipment, food packaging, and airplane parts. In addition, it is frequently used in electrical transmission lines and propellant in space shuttle due to its high electrical conductivity and high volumetric energy density, respectively.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Advancements in transport industry and continuous innovations to develop cheaper and effective aluminium products are some factors, fueling the market.
- Increasing demand from electric vehicle manufacturers and technological advancements in aluminium manufacturing processes is expected to drive the demand for aluminium in the coming years.
- Fluctuations in prices of raw materials and implementation of stricter environmental regulations are expected to hamper the market growth.
- Growing demand from automotive manufactures for replacing stainless steel with aluminium is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for market players during the forecast period.
