Market Overview
Aluminium Sheet prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 8.0% in H1 2026, climbing from USD 4.26/KG in Q1 to USD 4.60/KG by Q2 as spring automotive body panel, packaging, and construction cladding procurement and firmer LME aluminium metal and rolling mill costs drove consistent buying following the brief Q1 2026 pricing moderation. Globally, the average rose from USD 3.00/KG in Q1 to USD 3.24/KG in Q2, an 8.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 3.26-3.64/KG is expected, with continued firming on Middle East supply disruptions and growing automotive, packaging, and construction sector demand globally.
Aluminium Sheet is a flat-rolled aluminium product between 0.2 and 6 millimetres in thickness, produced by direct chill casting of aluminium ingot from primary smelter metal or secondary scrap, followed by homogenisation, hot rolling to intermediate gauge, cold rolling to final gauge, and annealing or temper rolling to achieve the required mechanical properties and surface finish. Commercial sheet products span alloy families from 1xxx near-pure aluminium for food contact, 3xxx manganese alloys for can body stock and automotive heat exchanger fin, 5xxx magnesium alloys for marine structural applications, and 6xxx magnesium-silicon alloys for automotive body panel and aerospace sheet. The largest pull comes from packaging, where can body stock for beverage cans, food can lids, and blister pack lidding foil takes the highest single volume globally. Automotive body panel production for lightweight vehicle programmes, building and construction roofing, cladding, and curtain wall systems, and electrical busbar strip add further major demand. LME aluminium metal price, rolling mill energy and conversion costs, and regional rolling capacity all feed into the price.
Aluminium Sheet Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for Aluminium Sheet through H2 2026 leans moderately firm. LME aluminium metal prices firmed from Middle East power and supply chain disruptions affecting primary smelter output. Automotive lightweighting, packaging, and construction demand are growing with expanding electric vehicle production and infrastructure investment globally.
The main upside risk is LME aluminium price spikes alongside accelerating electric vehicle body structure and packaging demand. The main downside risk is continued Chinese aluminium smelter surplus and export competition maintaining price pressure below the forecast range.
