The MEA aluminum extrusion market size is expected to reach USD 2.78 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for aluminum extrusion products in UAE and Saudi Arabia is expected to drive market growth over the long term.
The building & construction sector dominated the overall market with a volume share of 73.8% in 2020. In terms of volume, the UAE aluminum industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% over the forecast period. The UAE is a lucrative construction market, which offers attractive propositions for global investors. In addition, the emergence of the country as one of the financial hubs of the world further prompted the growth of the construction sector in the country. The market in the country is dominated by Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
In terms of volume, the electrical & energy segment depicts high growth and penetration in 2020. The growth is attributable to the upcoming renewable energy projects, which are being constructed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the region. The construction of solar and wind energy farms is anticipated to accelerate the demand for aluminum extrusion in the MEA region over the forecast period.
Qatar is a developing country in the region with potential growth for the market. The manufacturers in the country are increasing their customer base by adopting strategic initiatives, such as mergers & acquisitions. For example, in November 2020, Qatar Aluminum Extrusion acquired Abdul Noor Aluminum Extrusion factory. The acquisition increased Qatar Aluminum Extrusions' production capacity to 30 kilotons per annum.
The implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects associated with the 2022 FIFA World Cup played a significant role in driving the demand for aluminum extruded products in Qatar. However, the FIFA-related investments have slowed down since 2018 following a rapid boom from 2011 until 2018. The slowdown is majorly caused by the emergence of coronavirus and slugging economic growth since the latter half of FY 2019.
