Aluminum Smelting Market– Market Growing Factors (2023-2029)

Aluminum Smelting Market was valued at US$ 87.18 Bn. in 2022. The Global Aluminum Smelting Market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.15% over the forecast period.
Aluminum Smelting Market Overview:
Aluminum Smelting is the process of extracting aluminum from its oxide, alumina, generally by the Hall-Heroult process. The hall-heroult process is commonly used for the production of primary aluminum. In addition, 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 the globe are importers of aluminum; therefore, the smelteries are situated nearby ports to save transportation costs.

Aluminum Smelting Market Dynamics:
The increasing use of aluminum in various industries owing to its high strength and lightweight is likely to drive the growth of the Aluminum Smelting Market. Nearly 35-40% of aluminum is being used per lightweight mobile phone every year and is likely to reach 70% over the coming years owing to stringent regulation on reducing the weight of phones in the decades across the globe. According to the MMR report, the global lightweight mobile phones reached 57.14 million units in 2022. Thus, increasing demand for the demand of aluminum in various industries, rising disposable income, and changing lifestyles of consumers are anticipated to boost the demand for the aluminum smelting market.

Application in Various Sectors gives Opportunities to the market:

Aluminum is used in a wide range of products ranging from beer cans to mobile phones, fencing, enclosures, gates, etc. other products manufactured from aluminum include plates, bars, tubes, sheets, coils, and strips. Growing demand for aluminum has created a big market for it in all regions across the globe. Consumer goods also use aluminum in good quantity at most, which consumes more than 15%.

Major Development by Key Players Influencing the Growth of Aluminum Smelting Market:

Companies have tried to reduce the emission of the aluminum production process for a longer period but with limited access. In May 2020, Alcoa Corporation and Rio Tinto announced a revolutionary process that produces oxygen instead of carbon during aluminum production and eliminated green all direct greenhouse gas emissions from the conventional smelting process. The aluminum Smelting process is expected to be sold as a technology package from 2024. This development has been considered to be significant growth for the aluminum industry for more than a century.

Challenges & Restraints for the Aluminum Smelting Market:

Major restraining factor associated with the aluminum smelting process is that it uses a considerable amount of electricity. Hence, smelters are located close to the power plants to ensure a proper supply of electricity and the challenging amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The government of various countries has imposed strict regulations on the emission levels which affect the cost of production and also affect the growth of the aluminum smelters market.
Aluminum Smelting Market Trends:
The application scope of the aluminum smelting industry is widening also in agricultural. equipment, construction equipment, mining equipment, and other heavy-duty machinery. The growth in these types of machinery is largely attributed to developing economies such as India and Brazil, where the need is high for modernizing the equipment to attain greater levels of productivity and efficiency. India is among the largest manufacturers of farm equipment like tractors, tillers, and harvesters.

On the other side, factors such as high prices of aluminum smelting machinery, along with high investments in technology advancements in aluminum smelting, are likely to hamper the market growth. Moreover, strict rules and regulations laid down by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European Environment Agency (EEA) regarding harmful emissions into the environment during the forecasted period are likely to give huge opportunities to the key players for the innovation in the smelting proves which leads to the development in the Aluminum Smelting Market.

An important development in the Aluminum Smelting Market that has taken place in the aluminum industry is the shift of aluminum smelting from other parts of the globe to China. Currently, China has a huge aluminum smelting capacity of more than 42 million tons, and new capabilities are expected to be added, which accounts for half of the world's annual primary aluminum production. In addition, in the U.S, operational aluminum smelters have dropped from 23 and trying to expand by adding more in 2022.
Segment Analysis:
Based on Process, the Aluminum Smelting Market is segmented into Reduction Pot, Electrode Conductor, Electrolyte Solution, and Carbon Lined Bed. Electrolyte Solution and Electrode Conductor are considered the major segment in the process of aluminum smelting. It contributes more than 65% to the process. Smelting of aluminum into metallic aluminum for consumption in various industries requires various processes starting with a reduction pot where metallic aluminum takes place in a steel vat called a reduction pot. The smelting process is a continuous process with more alumina, and constantly requires electrolyte solutions that conduct electricity from the carbon rods to the carbon-line bed of the pot. This leads the electrolyte solution as the major segment for the production.

Based on Application, the Aluminum Smelting Market is segmented into Mobile Phones, Beer Canes, Fencing, and Others. Mobile Phones segment captured major market share accounting for 33% in 2022 and is expected to have an annual growth of 3.5% through the forecast period. The properties of aluminum like act as an important metal because it is a light, good conductor of heat, and can be easily mixed with other metals, helping to mix with other metals and giving strength to the mobile phones and helping in manufacturing its body.

Beer Cans are the second largest segment in this market, and it contributes 30% to the growth of the aluminum smelting market because the requirement for manufacturing cans requires the metals which are light-weight and more malleable and only aluminum is the element and also do not rust or corrode.
Regional Insights:
Asia Pacific held the largest market share accounting for 32% in 2022. The region growth is attributed to the rapidly growing manufacturing sector in major countries like China and India. In addition, low labor costs along with government policy support such as 100% FDI allowed under automatic route for auto components is further expected to complement the growth of this region. As of December 2019, a Germany-Based Automaker invested USD 25.64 million in setting up a premium surface material facility in Maharashtra, India with a production capacity of 5.5 million square meters. In China, the revenue from the Aluminum Smelting industry is expected to increase by an annualized 3.5% over the five years through 2022, as per the reports of OEC. Thus, these factors are attributed to the growth factors of this region.

North America is expected to register significant growth due to the rise in demand for light-weight vehicles, and the major factor is that the process of aluminum smelting requires a huge cost of electricity, and producing kilowatt-hours per ton for aluminum production is difficult for every region, but North America is developed economy and also has the ability or investment potential to produce these amount of electricity for the production of aluminum.

The Other regions are also associated with the growth of the aluminum smelting market in the region witnessing growth because of the major demand in the industries and governments of various economies also investing in the process of Aluminum Smelting.
