The aluminum market was valued at $162.0 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $285.4 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2033.Aluminum is the sixth most ductile and second most malleable metal present on earth. It possesses strong affinity for oxygen. It is exceptionally light having 2.7g/cm density, is resistant to dust, possesses high degree of conductivity, and exhibits significant strength when alloyed. It is widely used in food & packaging and pharmaceutical industries, as it is nontoxic in nature, preserves food for prolonged times, and inhibits growth of microorganisms. It is a good electrical conductor, and thus is used frequently in electrical transmission lines. In addition, it is used as a primary propellant for solid rocket booster motor in space shuttle due to its high volumetric energy density. Corrosion resistance, reflectivity, and recyclability are other characteristics of aluminum market, which makes it a favorable choice for various industrial applications.
However, aluminum faces a lot of competition from a variety of substitutes across various end-user industries. Composites can substitute aluminum in aircraft wings and fuselages, due to superior strength and mass-to-weight ratio. Glass, plastics, steel, and paper can substitute aluminum in packaging applications. Titanium, steel, and magnesium can substitute aluminum in structural uses and ground transportation. Steel, composites, wood, and vinyl can serve as substitutes for aluminum in building & construction applications. In electrical engineering applications, copper can be utilized instead of aluminum. However, aluminum possesses unique and superior properties over most of its substitutes, and thus, replacing it is not a straightforward practice. However, the presence of such high number of substitutes in the market hinders the market growth.
