[182 Pages Report] The Aluminum Extrusion Market size was estimated at USD 74.35 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 77.91 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 4.86% to reach USD 103.68 billion by 2030.
Aluminum extrusion is used to convert aluminum alloy into objects with a standard cross-sectional profile for various uses. The extrusion process involves forcing the aluminum billet through a die, which has the shape of the desired profile. Increased construction activities in urban areas and industrial sectors directly boost the demand for aluminum extrusions. In addition, the push towards lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles propels the use of aluminum extrusions in car manufacturing. However, volatile raw material prices can impact profit margins and the necessity for capital-intensive infrastructure and technology for modern extrusion processes. Furthermore, advancements in extrusion technology can lead to higher efficiency and better-quality products. In addition, the demand for custom, precision extrusions for specialized applications presents significant growth potential.
Type: Increasing utilization of anodized aluminum extrusions as it provides attractive finish
Anodized aluminum extrusions have undergone an electrolytic process to create a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. This type is preferred in applications where long-term weather resistance and minimal maintenance are critical, such as in construction and architectural projects. Mill-finished aluminum extrusions are the raw product directly from the extrusion process without any additional surface treatment. These are cost-efficient and offer an industrial look widely adopted across sectors, including automotive, machinery, and electronics. Powder coated aluminum extrusions go through a process of electrostatic powder application followed by curing under heat to form a uniform and tactilely smooth protective layer. They are favored where a specific color and aesthetic appeal are needed. Additionally, the powder coating increases resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor uses, including electronics casings and automotive parts.
Process: Rising applicability of direct extrusion in automotive & construction due to its higher productivity rates
Direct extrusion, referred to as forward extrusion, is a common aluminum extrusion process where the billet is put in a container and pushed through a die by a hydraulic press. The force is applied in the same direction as the desired motion of the billet, and the extruded aluminum emerges from the same side as the die. Indirect extrusion, known as backward extrusion, involves the billet remaining stationary while the die moves toward the billet. This process imposes less friction on the billet because it doesn’t rub against the container, potentially offering a more uniform grain structure and a smoother surface finish.
End-User: Growing urbanization & construction activities driving the adoption of aluminum extrusion
In the aerospace sector, aluminum extrusion is used due to its corrosion resistivity and lightweight strength, which is critical for improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Need-based preferences include high-performance alloys that can withstand extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. The automotive industry utilizes aluminum extrusion for structural components, crash management systems, and heat sinks for electronic systems due to its weight-saving potential and recyclability. The need-based preference is often focused on cost-effective solutions that provide the necessary performance without significantly adding to the vehicle cost. Aluminum extrusions in building and construction are widespread, being used in window frames, door frames, curtain walls, and structural components. The key preferences in this segment revolve around durability, aesthetic appeal, and energy efficiency, with a growing interest in LEED-certified products. In the machinery and equipment sector, aluminum extrusion is appreciated for its ability to create complex cross-sections essential for various machine components. Preferences here include modularity and the flexibility to integrate with different systems. These segments prioritize heavy-duty performance and often opt for alloys that can withstand significant wear and tear.
