Aluminum Cladding Panels Market Research - 2031

The Global Aluminum Cladding Panels Market Size was valued at $6,355.9 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $10,352.9 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2031.

An aluminum cladding panel is a building element commonly installed on the exterior profile of the building as a façade and is also used in the interior design of the buildings. In addition, the continuous lamination method is used to construct the composite panel, in which a sheet of the material that will make up the core is extruded and compacted between two unwinding aluminum sheets, Furthermore, it also includes solid aluminum sheets, which do not incorporate any core made of material other than aluminum.

Market Dynamics

The construction sector faced a slowdown during COVID-19, which affected affecting aluminum cladding panels sales. However, as the COVID-19 cases are subsiding, the construction sector is recovering and is expected to provide growth opportunities to the market during the forecast period. The construction sector across the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific is recovering and growing at the fastest pace. This is largely due to various government-backed construction projects in China, and India.

For instance, in October 2021, the Dubai and Indian governments agreed to develop infrastructures such as industrial parks, multipurpose towers, logistics centers, a medical college, and a specialized hospital in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, India. In addition, China is set to construct 10 new airports by the year 2035. By 2040, the global population is estimated to grow approximately by two billion with the urban population growing by over 40%. Population growth and rapid urbanization in India, China, Vietnam, Brazil, and Mexico are expected to positively influence the construction of residential and commercial buildings. This provides opportunities for the implementation of aluminum cladding panels.

However, fluctuations in the prices of raw materials such as aluminum negatively impact the profitability of the manufacturers. Thus, price fluctuation of raw materials is anticipated to restrain the aluminum cladding panels market growth. Moreover, due to global warming countries across the world are shifting towards sustainability across industries including the construction sector. Aluminum cladding panels are known for enhancing energy performance by providing thermal insulation which eventually helps in reducing the electricity bill of the building. Thus, an increase in the construction of green buildings is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the aluminum cladding panels market.

The demand for aluminum cladding panels decreased in the year 2020, owing to low demand from different industries due to lockdowns imposed by the government of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down production of various products for the aluminum cladding panels end-user, mainly owing to prolonged lockdowns in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the market significantly during the pandemic. The major demand for these cladding systems was previously noticed by countries experiencing a surge in construction activities. These countries include South Korea, China, Japan, Germany, and France which were badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting demand for aluminum cladding panels.

However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced. As of 2022, the number of COVID-19 cases has diminished significantly. This has led to the full-fledged reopening of aluminum cladding panels manufacturing companies, and the construction sector at their full-scale capacities. Furthermore, it has been more than two years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown notable signs of recovery.
