The trade value of aluminum and its products stood at $194.32 billion in 2018, after growing at 11% from 2017, according to the International Trade Centre (ITC). This increase in trade is due to application of aluminum in various end-user industries including packaging, construction, automotive, and others. In 2018, the aluminum market size was gauged to be 79 million tons in terms of quantity, and the application of aluminum is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2019-2025.
APAC had the greatest aluminum market share of 66%, in 2018. This can be attributed to India being identified as a key country that imported $5.48 billion worth of aluminum in 2018 with a significant growth rate of 32% year on year. Furthermore, the Japan and Korea aluminum markets observed growth rate of 13% and 8% respectively, in 2018, according to ITC.
China has been the leading aluminum marketplace for several years now. According to latest findings by the International Aluminum Institute (IAI), China is a mega-producer of aluminum with 2,940 thousand metric tons of aluminum production. Some of the production is exported while the rest of it is consumed by China’s electronics and construction industries which are major marketplaces for aluminum. Apart from major contributions by China, India, and Japan to the APAC aluminum market revenues, Indonesia witnessed a growth in the construction and packaging industry that supported the aluminum market in the country in 2018.

Aluminum Market Outlook:
Aluminum is a metal which is obtained by Bayer’s process, in which aluminum oxide undergoes smelting to release pure aluminum. Aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, and aluminum phosphate are some of the useful aluminum compounds. The metal is prevalently used in industries such as packaging and construction. Moreover, it finds application in machinery & equipment and electrical and consumer durables industries.
The key application of aluminum is found in the automotive industry, and this segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% through to 2025. Since aluminum is a lightweight and fuel-efficient metal, it is used in the body of cars. Furthermore, aluminum used in automobile vehicles can be easily recycled. More than half a million tons of automotive aluminum is recycled, and this recycling saves 21 barrels of oil energy that would have been consumed in producing fresh aluminum, according to findings by The Aluminum Association. Fuel-economy regulations worldwide will also enhance application of aluminum in the automotive industry. Additionally, expected increase in the production of electric vehicles, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, and self-driving cars and trucks will further boost the automotive aluminum market.
