The global aluminum billets market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $95.93 billion in 2023 to $104.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to demand from automotive industry, demand from aerospace industry, rising construction and infrastructure development, government initiatives.
The global aluminum billets market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $141.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing urbanization and infrastructure development, renewable energy infrastructure, rising demand for aluminum in the packaging industry, rising disposable incomes, aluminum based products launch. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in aluminum production, transportation innovations, investments in aluminum productions,.
The swift integration of billets within the automotive sector is anticipated to be a driving force behind the expansion of the aluminum billet market in the foreseeable future. The automotive industry encompasses a range of entities involved in the creation, development, production, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. Aluminum billets are extensively utilized in the automotive sector due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, resilience, and adaptability. These billets play a crucial role in the manufacturing of various automotive components, including engine parts, suspension components, wheels, transmission components, and more. As an example, a study conducted by European Aluminum in May 2023 revealed that the average aluminum usage in European cars had risen to 205 kilograms in 2022, marking an 18% increase from the 174 kilograms observed in 2020. Furthermore, projections indicate that the average aluminum content is set to climb from 205 kilograms in 2022 to 237 kilograms by 2026 (a 15.6% increase) and reach 256 kilograms per vehicle by 2030 (a 24.9% increase). Hence, the rapid adoption of billets within the automotive industry is poised to steer the growth of the aluminum billet market.
The growing utilization of aluminum billets in construction projects is poised to drive the expansion of the aluminum billets market in the future. Construction encompasses the assembly of various elements to create structures according to precise designs and plans. Aluminum billets have proven to be highly adaptable materials in construction, facilitating the creation of lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant building components and systems. As an example, in July 2023, the US Census Bureau reported a significant increase in the value of construction activities, which surged from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022, marking a substantial growth rate of 10.2%. Consequently, the increased use of aluminum billets in construction activities is a pivotal driver of the aluminum billets market's growth.
The scarcity of proficient labor presents a challenge that could impede the market's growth throughout the forecast period. The aluminum industry demands a workforce that is not only sizable but also well-trained, and honing these skills often requires a substantial time investment. Shortages in skilled labor can result in escalated labor costs, subsequently increasing the overall expenses associated with aluminum billet production. For instance, in July 2022, The American Welding Society, a non-profit organization headquartered in the United States, projected a shortage of approximately 400,000 workers by the year 2024, encompassing various sectors, including the aluminum manufacturing and processing industry. Consequently, the insufficiency of skilled labor is acting as a deterrent to the expansion of the aluminum billets market.
Prominent companies operating in the aluminum billet market are embracing innovative technologies to enhance their product offerings, including the development of high-speed billets, as part of their strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the market. High-speed billets are a specialized type of billet used within the extrusion industry, precisely engineered to enhance the extrusion process's speed and efficiency. An illustrative example of this approach can be seen in Vedanta Aluminum Limited, an Indian-based aluminum manufacturer, which introduced high-speed billets designed for the global extrusion sector in December 2021. These billets are meticulously crafted using cutting-edge engineering technologies, such as the Wagstaff Hot-Top Air Slip Casting System from the USA and the Hertwich Continuous Homogenizing Furnace from Austria. With precise process control and optimized composition, these billets deliver exceptional extrusion speed, all while maintaining the structural integrity of the final extruded profile. They have been shown to significantly boost extrusion speed by a minimum of 25% or more, depending on the extrusion environment, thereby offering an impressive solution to meet the demands of the industry.
