Aluminium Rolling, Drawing and Extruding in Australia - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

Rolling with the punches: Fluctuating world aluminium prices are prompting revenue volatility

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Operators in the Aluminium Rolling, Drawing and Extruding industry have faced challenges over the past five years. The industry has increasingly relied on export markets to maintain as construction and automotive manufacturing activity has declined, and strong input cost pressures downstream have encouraged more Australian firms to move to cheaper imports. This shift has been challenged by collapsing demand in China, with firms forced to cast a wider net across a multitude of new and emerging Asian markets. Operators have shifted production towards customised, high-margin aluminium extrusions, to help combat the proliferation of cheaper foreign products. Overall, revenue is expected to decline at an annualised 0.1% over the five years through 2023-24, to an estimated $1.1 billion. This includes an anticipated decline of 1.9% in 2023-24.

Industry firms predominantly draw, roll and extrude hot and cold aluminium. The industry also includes companies that manufacture aluminium flakes or powders. Aluminium casting is not included in the industry.
