Aluminum Smelting Market Analysis
Aluminum smelting is the process of extracting aluminium from its oxide, alumina, generally by the Hall-Héroult process. The Hall-Héroult process is commonly used for the production of primary aluminum. This process is basically an electrolytic process that uses significant amount of electricity. Further, smelters are production facilities or factories that extract aluminum, owing to this, smelters are typically stationed near large power plants to make sure enough supply of electricity. A lot of countries across globe are importers of aluminum, therefore smelteries are situatednear by ports to save transportation costs.
COVID-19 Impact
- The global market for aluminum smelting marketis severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns.
- Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
- Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of aluminum smelting, which negatively impact the market growth.
Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends and Drivers
Aluminum has usage in various end-user industries such as construction, transportation, power generation, electronic products, and packaging. Furthermore, consumer goods industries also use aluminum in good quantity. Aluminum usage by these industries is anticipated to boost the aluminum smelting market in the forecast period. Aluminum is used in the manufacturing of various products, for instance, sheets, plates, bars, tubes, coils, and strips. Moreover, it has its use in variety of other products as well ranging from mobile phones to beer cans, to railing, enclosures, fence, and gates. Therefore, demand for aluminum has created a big market for it in all regions across the globe. Hence, aluminum smelters are also spread across all regions.
However, a major drawback associated with the aluminum smelting process is the significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, governments of various countries have imposed strict regulations on the emission levels of these smelters, which has slowed down expansion of the global aluminum smelting market.
Regional Analysis
The global aluminum smelting market is studied across major four regional markets including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest market over the coming years in response to rapidly expanding manufacturing sector in China and India. In addition, low labor cost and government policy support, such as 100% FDI allowed under automatic route for auto components is further expected to complement the growth of this region. Moreover, North America is expected to register significant growth due to rise indemand for lightweight vehicles. This is mainly due to North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
