Aluminum Extrusion Market Size & Trends

The size of the global aluminum extrusion market was approximated at USD 91.38 billion in 2024 and is forecasted to reach a growth of 8.4% CAGR during 2025-2035. The automotive and transport sector is witnessing growth in the usage of aluminum in both conventional internal combustion automobiles and Electric Vehicles (EVs), which can lead to potential market growth. Automakers are challenged to meet regulatory requirements on the environmental impact of their cars. Regulatory bodies, like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have issued rules and regulations on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

For example, in accordance with emissions regulations set forth by the NHTSA, stringency relating to fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions rose 1.5% from 2021 through 2026. This is expected to bolster demand for motor vehicles and other aluminum parts throughout the forecast period.

The U.S. is a major aluminum extrusion producer and consumer. The defense, automotive, and aerospace industry in the United States have encountered major consequences from economic variations, resulting in low demand for products that are extruded. Bad sentiments related to new projects under construction have resulted in direct contribution to lower aluminum extrusion volumes in the United States over the period of fiscal year 2022. Yet, the demand for activities involving construction has started to revive incrementally over the course of a year during the year 2023.

Construction work was accelerated with the announcements of mega projects like the Gordie Howe International Bridge, Hudson Tunnel Project, and JFK Airport Expansion, among others. These projects have opened material inflow for construction activities. Low weights and costs of extrusion products have been a key driver for their increasing demand in general industrial applications, primarily in the auto and aerospace & defense industries.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

The market development stage is medium, and the rate of growth of the market is increasing. The market is marked by an increase in demand for extruded products and an increase in uptake of aluminum extrusion, as a result of the uptake of lightweight aluminum components by industries such as aerospace, automotive, and the building construction industry. The market is strongly affected by regulation changes and the level of innovation.

The sector is also dominated by high levels of merger and acquisition (M&A) activities by major aluminum extrusion producers. New market players opt for long-term contracts and cooperation in a competitive marketplace. This is attributed to various reasons, such as the aspiration to capture market share and consolidation in an expanding market.

Increasing concentration of end-users is also expected in the market. Governments throughout the globe are formulating legislation on end-user industries that have an effect on the industry. Legislation related to the extraction of bauxite and aluminum manufacture can have major implications on the market, touching the creation and uptake of extrusion products.

There are very few direct product alternatives to aluminum extruded products due to its exclusive features, including lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc. Nonetheless, there are various technologies through which similar production results can be attained in aluminum extrusion, including automation, hot extrusion, and direct extrusion. These manufacturing technologies can be employed as techniques for extruding to obtain some properties and enhance the performance of aluminum extruded products.

Product Insights

The shapes segment had the highest revenue share of 79.0% in 2024. The excellent malleability of aluminum allows smooth manufacturing of diverse shapes via the extrusion process. In this process, aluminum billets are heated and compressed with high pressure by a ram or hydraulic press against steel dies. Then, aluminum shapes are formed, accurately replicating the shapes of the dies.

In the automobile and transport sector, aluminum forms are utilized in numerous parts like transmission cases, chassis, panels, engine blocks, and roof rails of numerous vehicles, including automobiles, trucks, rail, and ships. Increased demand for structural parts in vehicles is motivated by the aim of having reduced weight. One such example is the building of the Ford F-150 model, which uses large aluminum parts and the weight of the car is heavily impacted by the use of aluminum in body panels and extruded forms.

Aluminum billets are heated in the process of extrusion and then routed through a series of rolls. The metal is then wound and drawn into rods, bars, and tubes via precision-made dies. Rods and bars are used widely in building construction, especially in the provision of scaffolding systems. Lightweight scaffolding systems have a number of benefits over traditional ones, such as improved stability, lower weight, and greater flexibility.

Application Insights

The construction & building industry had the highest revenue share of more than 60.0% in 2024. Application of extruded products in construction processes has been significantly driven by investment in the residential sector. China is presently leading the construction industry with the highest nominal value. Continued initiatives of different nations to invest in new housing construction are likely to drive the growth of this segment in the next few years.

The automotive and transportation industry, the second-largest in volume share in 2023, is expected to have a profitable CAGR during the forecast period. Aluminum extrusions find extensive use in vehicles with far-reaching applications such as engine mounts, anti-intrusion beams, radiator beams, fuel distribution pipes, longitudinal beams, seat tracks, cross rails, roof rails, and tailgate frames, underbody space frame rockers, among others.

Consumer goods had the smallest market share in 2024 since the applications of aluminum in consumer goods are less than in other sub-segments. However, the expected increase in consumer goods production is set to propel the demand for aluminum extrusions, especially in the manufacturing of furniture, sporting goods, toys, refrigerators, freezers, and other major appliances during the forecast period. Extruded products, such as sheets, custom shapes, and bars, are highly used in the household consumer goods sector. Tailored extruded shapes are used extensively in computer hardware, audio-video equipment, and other home appliances. The rising production of these appliances and devices will be likely to fuel increased demand for the product in the future years.
