Market Definition
The Aluminium Flat-Rolled Products Market size was valued at USD 44.70 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 79.64 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024-2030.
Aluminium flat-rolled products refer to a category of aluminium products that are manufactured through a flat-rolling process. This process involves reducing the thickness of aluminium ingots and slabs through a series of rolling mills to achieve the desired dimensions, surface finish, and mechanical properties.
Aluminium flat-rolled products offer numerous benefits, including lightweight construction, durability, corrosion resistance, formability, and recyclability. These qualities make them highly versatile and efficient materials for a wide range of industrial applications in numerous industries such as food & beverage, and energy & power. These features of aluminium enhance its suitability for harsh environments, ensuring longevity in products used in marine and construction sectors.
Market Dynamics and Trends
The rising utilization of aluminium flat-roll products in the automotive sector, with the goal of reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel and battery efficiency, is boosting the demand for aluminium flat-rolled products. Aluminium provides structural integrity while reducing the overall weight of the vehicle, enhancing safety and efficiency without compromising the performance of the vehicle.
According to the latest report published by the Aluminum Association, the use of aluminium in the automotive industry is experiencing significant growth. In 2022, the amount of aluminium used per vehicle production reached 152 kilograms, and it is projected to increase to 250 kilograms by 2025, highlighting the automotive industry's shift towards lightweight materials to meet evolving regulatory standards and consumer preferences for more efficient and sustainable vehicles.
Additionally, the growing use of aluminium metal in packaging industries for innovative packaging solutions is further driving the demand for aluminium flat rolled products industry. Aluminium's versatility enables the creation of innovative packaging solutions, such as easy-open lids, resealable closures, and customizable shapes.
According to the International Aluminium Institute (IAI), global aluminium consumption in the packaging industry is projected to reach 10.5 metric tons by 2030, compared to 7.3 metric tons in 2020. Additionally, the use of aluminium flat-rolled products in renewable energy applications, such as solar panels and wind turbines, is driving market expansion.
As the renewable energy sector continues to grow, the demand for aluminium flat-rolled products in advancing renewable energy infrastructure and meeting sustainability goals is anticipated to grow significantly.n According to a report published by the World Bank, aluminium metal accounts for nearly 85% of the total metal used in manufacturing solar panels and their components.
Moreover, there is a global requirement of 10 million tons of aluminium rolled products by the end of 2030 to support the production of these panels and increase solar PV capacity from 136 gigawatts to 600 gigawatts. However, the high costs associated in manufacturing aluminium rolled products is restraining the overall growth of the market.
On the contrary, advent of advanced recycling technologies, such as high-efficiency sorting and separation processes plays a crucial role in improving the quality and yield of recycled aluminium from flat-rolled products. This leads to improved quality and purity of recycled aluminium which is further expected to create ample opportunity growth for the market.
