The building and construction segment was valued at 17.43 million t in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Aluminum-extruded products are increasingly being used in building and construction applications, such as doors, windows, panels, windows frames, ladders, and bridges. Aluminum-extruded products are widely used in the building and construction segment due to various advantages such as strong structural strength, recyclable properties, durability, and low maintenance. Such factors will increase the market at a rapid pace during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the mill-finished segment holds the largest market share. Mill-finished aluminum-extruded items often need surface treatment like etching, machining, and polishing. They are used in automotive interiors, aircraft, and interior decoration due to surface imperfections. These products are prone to scratches and nicks during production, transport, handling, and installation.
Aluminum's reactivity leads to the formation of a protective aluminum oxide layer when exposed to moisture, salt, air, or water. These products find applications in automotive, construction, and other industries. The growing construction sector in developing nations and real estate recovery in developed ones will boost the mill-finished aluminum-extruded product segment, driving market growth during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 70% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

APAC benefits from a large consumer base, abundant raw materials, and cost-effective labor. Key drivers in the APAC market include its use in the automotive, transportation, and construction industries. Prominent automotive manufacturers in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are boosting demand in various vehicle components. These components play vital roles in automotive structures, powertrains, and interiors, driven by increased automobile production.
China, a major player in aluminum production and consumption, leads the APAC market, supported by growth in the construction and automotive sectors. Government incentives favoring electric vehicles and robust construction activities contribute to adoption. Aluminum-extruded products, known for durability and resilience, are well-suited for construction projects like buildings and bridges. India's ambitious plan to develop numerous airports with significant investments over the next 15-20 years will stimulate construction and demand, driving market growth in the region.
The market is rapidly expanding, primarily driven by surging demand from the automotive sector. Over the past five years, there's been a substantial increase in the use of aluminum-extruded products, mainly due to the need for lighter vehicles. Originally reserved for basic applications like engine mounts and brake components, these products are now integral to manufacturing high-end equipment, such as safety components and crash management systems.
Economic growth and increased foreign investments in emerging markets, including India, Brazil, and Argentina, have boosted consumer incomes, enabling more car purchases. This, combined with inadequate public transportation in crowded urban areas, is expected to boost vehicle ownership, fueling the market growth and trends.
Increasing demand for solar energy is a key trend influencing the growth of the market. The increasing emphasis on energy security is set to drive the demand for renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on finite fossil fuel reserves. Solar energy, in particular, offers a sustainable alternative, especially for countries with limited or no petroleum resources. Unlike traditional fuels, solar energy is emissions-free. Aluminum-extruded products play a significant role in constructing photovoltaic panel frames, supporting the solar energy industry's growth.
Government incentives and subsidies for solar power installation further bolster the market. According to the IEA, solar photovoltaic capacity additions are expected to double from 39 GW (2010-2016) to 74 GW (2017-2040), driven by installations in China, the US, India, Japan, the UK, and Germany. This transition reduces developing nations' reliance on costly fossil fuels, making products essential for the solar energy sector's expansion.
The increasing demand for lightweight vehicles has driven the expanded utilization of carbon fiber composites, with the automotive sector being a primary consumer. These composites can slash car weight by 40%-50% and enhance fuel efficiency by 30%-35%. Consequently, the automotive industry, particularly in the premium car segment, exhibits growing demand for carbon fiber composites.
Another significant challenge for the market is the rising adoption of glass fiber-reinforced plastic in the automotive and construction sectors. These products, characterized by corrosion resistance and high-strength glass fibers bonded with epoxy resin, offer superior properties. They find applications in diverse industries such as building and construction, aerospace, automotive, and transportation, posing as readily available alternatives. This availability of substitutes acts as a limiting factor for the market throughout the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
