The global aluminum market is segmented based on type, product type, and application.
By Type
The market is divided into primary aluminum and secondary aluminum. The primary aluminum segment holds the dominant share, widely utilized across industries such as transportation, commerce, technology, and healthcare. Its versatility in alloy formation and ease of shaping make it a preferred choice. Primary aluminum ingots are processed into sheets, pipes, flats, and other forms.
By Product Type
The market is categorized into flat-rolled, castings, extrusions, rod & bar, forgings, and others. Among these, the flat-rolled segment leads, offering high adaptability for industries like packaging, transportation, and construction. Its lightweight, high strength, and durability make it an essential material. Flat-rolled aluminum is produced using both hot and cold rolling techniques.
By Application
The aluminum market serves diverse applications, including building & construction, automotive & transportation, foil & packaging, power, machinery & equipment (industrial), consumer goods, and others. The automotive & transportation segment holds the largest share due to aluminum’s high strength, lightweight nature, recyclability, corrosion resistance, and thermal and electrical conductivity. It is extensively used in buses, trucks, and passenger cars, with nearly XX% of automotive aluminum being recycled at the end of its lifecycle. Automakers increasingly incorporate aluminum in components like hybrid engine compartments, roofs, damper strut consoles, and doorframes to enhance vehicle efficiency.
