Aluminum Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The use of aluminum cans in beverage sector is notably driving the aluminum market growth, although factors such as may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the aluminum industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Aluminum Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the aluminum market is the increasing demand for aluminum in electric vehicles. Aluminum is widely used in electric vehicles to reduce their weight and lower the energy required to operate them. Aluminum finds applications in various parts of a vehicle, including the chassis, body, and wheels. It is also used in compartments that hold electric batteries in electric vehicles. The thermal transferring capacity of aluminum helps in regulating the temperature around the battery modules in extreme conditions such as hot or cold weather. Electric vehicles are gradually emerging as the future of the automotive industry. The growth of the global electric vehicle market is expected to boost the demand for aluminum during the forecast period
Key Aluminum Market Trend
The increasing use of lightweight materials in various end-user industries is another factor supporting the aluminum market share growth. Manufacturers seek materials that meet weight reduction goals without compromising on the required strength of automobiles, aircraft, and construction structures. Industries such as aerospace and automotive are adopting lightweight materials to reduce the overall weight of aircraft and vehicles to ensure fuel efficiency. One of the major reasons for aluminum to gain importance in the automobile industry is its low specific gravity, which assists in reducing the average weight of vehicles. Aluminum in car parts helps in reducing weight by up to 24%. Although grey cast iron offers advantages like high wear resistance and vibration damping, it has a specific gravity of 7-8. Meanwhile, aluminum casting has a specific gravity of 2.7-3, which helps lower vehicular weight and offers a better strength-to-weight ratio to help improve performance.
Key Aluminum Market Challenge
The high volatility in London Metal Exchange (LME) prices of aluminum will be a major challenge for the aluminum market during the forecast period. LME prices, which are the starting point of the aluminum price, are highly volatile in nature. LME prices of aluminum are dependent on macroeconomic factors, the metal’s supply and demand, and the trading activities of financial investors. Any change in these factors can lead to a change in prices at the bourse. For instance, declining demand without a corresponding drop in supply would have a negative impact on aluminum pricing. Adding on high inventories with the LME or a huge release of aluminum metal into the market by the exchange could lead to a reduction in aluminum prices. Thus, volatility in LME pricing can adversely affect aluminum manufacturers’ operations and eat into their profit margins.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted the growth of the aluminum market in the region. The major end-users, such as transportation and construction, are facing slow growth owing to the outbreak. Thus, the demand for aluminum has declined in these end-users sectors. The lockdowns imposed due to COVID-19 in the region have led to the closure of car dealerships and a halt in the manufacturing and sales of automobiles. Further, GDP growth has been impacted owing to lockdown in the region. For instance, in September 2020, GDP in the June quarter of 2020 declined by 23.9% compared with 2019 in India. The economic slowdown has impacted the construction industry in the region. Additionally, the COVID-19 lockdown has caused supply chain disruptions for aluminum, which has further impacted the growth of the market adversely.
