The global aluminium market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.63% between 2024 and 2032, supported by the rising demand from end use sectors such as transport, machinery and equipment, and construction.
Aluminium refers to the chemical element having the atomic number 13. It is a silver-white, soft, non-magnetic, and ductile metal in the boron group. It is low in density and has the ability to withstand corrosion through the passivation phenomenon. The metal and its alloys are critically important to the aerospace, transportation, and construction industries.
The growing construction sector in developing countries like India and China is driving the aluminium market growth. These countries are witnessing an increased rate of construction in order to expand their infrastructure and meet the demand of the rising population due to its rapid migration to big cities. The rising use of aluminium as a material of choice in electrical engineering as well as the machinery and equipment sector is also driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the increased application of the product in making aluminium sheets to replace steel is also a crucial factor.

Recycling and sustainability; the shift towards low-carbon aluminium; technological advancements; and global trade policies are the major trends impacting the aluminium market expansion
Date | Company | Event |
Jun 2023 | Alumaze | Alumaze, a company specialising in the production of Aluminium Composite Panels unveiled its product line in Visakhapatnam, India. |
Feb 2024 | The Bogle Family Wine Collection | The Bogle Family Wine Collection in California debuted a unique 750ml recyclable aluminium wine bottle, marking its first foray into sustainable packaging solutions. |
Feb 2024 | Vedanta Aluminium | Unveiled an e-commerce platform aimed at streamlining the sale of primary aluminium products. |
Feb 2024 | Emirates Global Aluminium | Collaborated with beverage can manufacturers Crown and CANPACK to initiate the Every Can Counts campaign to motivate consumers to recycle their used aluminium beverage cans, supporting circular economy. |
Trends | Impact |
Recycling and sustainability | The focus on sustainability has heightened the importance of recycling aluminium, which requires only 5% of the energy used to produce virgin aluminium. |
Shift towards low-carbon production | There is an increased demand for low-carbon aluminium, produced using renewable energy sources rather than fossil fuels. |
Technological advancements | Technological innovations in aluminium production and processing continue to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimise environmental impacts. |
Global trade policies | Tariffs imposed by countries can affect the flow of aluminium imports and exports, influencing global supply and demand dynamics. |
The emphasis on sustainability within the aluminium sector has significantly enhanced the value of recycling aluminium. This shift is largely due to the fact that recycling aluminium consumes only 5% of the energy required to produce aluminium from raw materials, such as bauxite. Moreover, by incorporating more recycled aluminium into production processes, the aluminium market can significantly reduce its reliance on virgin aluminium, which requires energy-intensive mining and refining processes. Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the aluminium recycling process is crucial for accelerating the sector's transition towards sustainability.
The Every Can Counts campaign, initiated by Emirates Global Aluminium in partnership with beverage can manufacturers Crown and CANPACK, in February 2024, is a strategic effort designed to encourage consumer participation in recycling aluminium beverage cans. This initiative is part of a broader movement towards sustainability and the promotion of a circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact.

“Aluminium Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup | Categories |
Type | Primary, Secondary |
Processing Method | Flat Rolled, Castings, Extrusions, Forgings, Pigments and Powder, Rod and Bar, Sheet, Others |
End Use | Transport, Construction, Electrical, Machinery and Equipment, Packaging and Foil, Consumer Goods, Others |
Region | North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa |
Primary aluminium maintains its dominance in the market due to its growing usage in multiple end-use sectors
The primary segment holds a substantial share of the aluminium market. The process for primary aluminium involves mining bauxite, refining it into alumina (aluminium oxide), and then using the Hall-Héroult process to smelt alumina into aluminium. Primary production is energy-intensive, requiring a significant amount of electricity to convert alumina into pure aluminium. The demand for primary aluminium is driven by its necessity in producing high-purity aluminium for critical applications in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and electronics, where material properties such as strength, conductivity, and corrosion resistance are paramount.
The secondary segment is also expected to witness a robust growth as the production of secondary aluminium involves the melting of scrap metal to produce new aluminium. This process is far less energy-intensive than primary production, consuming only about 5% of the energy required to produce the same amount of aluminium from bauxite. The environmental benefits, coupled with the economic advantages of lower energy costs, are driving an increase in the recycling rate and the use of recycled aluminium across various sectors.
The consumer electronics segment occupies a major aluminium market share due to its lightweight and cost-effectiveness
As aluminium is lightweight and cost-effective, it finds extensive applications in the production of consumer electronics. Thus, the growing demand for laptops, smartphones, and tablets favours the market growth. Some aluminium manufacturers also offer innovative and superior aluminium alloys, which in turn, aids the use of metal in complex designing solutions in consumer electronics. Further, the rising utilisation of aluminium as a substitute for plastics and steel owing to its reliability, versatility, high mechanical strength, cost-effectiveness, and lightweight is likely to augment the segment growth.
The transportation sector is expected to witness a robust growth in the forecast period, as aluminium finds wide applications in the development of transportation systems and plays a crucial role in automotive applications. The increasing environmental concerns fuel the demand for electric vehicles, which further adds to the demand for aluminium.
