The  new report, “US Aluminum Market Analysis” is an elaborate study of the aluminum market in the US. It rationally discusses the past and current performance of the market and looks into its future prospects. This report helps the clients to analyze the trends and the developments in the US aluminum market vis-à-vis the global scenario.

The US aluminum industry depends on a variety of economic factors and its future performance is difficult to predict. The forecast given in this report is not based on a complex economic model, but is intended as a guide to the direction in which the market is likely to move.

For our research purpose, the market has been defined in terms of primary aluminum production.

Market Analysis
In terms of both its positive economic and environmental impact, the aluminum industry remains one of the most significant success stories nationally as well as internationally. Due to its benefit, the aluminum industry will shine in future. The global consumption of aluminum products, both upstream and downstream, is expected to double by 2020 annually.

The aluminum industry of the US is the world’s largest single producer of primary aluminum. The US industry operates over 300 plants in 35 states, produces more than 23 Billion pounds of metal annually, and employs over 145,000 people with an annual payroll of about US$ 5 Billion. Aluminum is one of the few products and industries left in America that truly impacts every community in the country, either through physical plants and facilities, recycling, heavy industry, or consumption of consumer goods.

Key Findings

• By volume, the US aluminum industry is projected to grow by 210,000 Metric Tons (nearly 9%) during 2007-2011, attributed to enhanced energy supply capacity, new cost efficient production technologies and government support.
• Market demand is largely fueled by the need for aluminum by various industry sectors, particularly transport and packaging sector.
• The aluminum consumption market is highly relied on imported aluminum.
• Aluminum is chiefly imported from a number of countries, such as Canada, Russia, China and Mexico, where the cost of production is relatively less. This makes imported aluminum cost effective, thereby posing a significant challenge for the domestic producers.
• Positive outlook for the construction industry in the US will definitely boost revenue growth of the aluminum industry.
• The industry offers huge opportunities for production equipment manufacturers as it is projected to enlarge its production to meet out domestic consumption demand.
• In spite of the lowering demand from automobile market, aluminum use in automobiles will continue to grow as aluminum content per vehicle is increasing.

Key Players

This section provides an overview of the key facts and financial position of players like Alcoa Inc., Alcan Inc., Century Aluminum Company, Aleris International Inc. and Novelis Inc.

China, being the largest consumer and major producer of aluminium, remains the growth engine for global aluminium industry. China’s aluminium demand outstripped the domestic supply in the last few years. The growth of aluminium depends on a number of factors, like rapid industrialization, economic growth and growth in end user segment of aluminium, says “China Aluminium Market Analysis”. This report discusses the impact of the Chinese aluminium industry on the global aluminium industry and analyzes the current and future of the industry. It thoroughly investigates the current market trends, evolving markets and growth prospects.
 
 This research comprehensively studies the market to evaluate its future direction. However, the forecast given in this report is not based on a complex economic model, but is intended as a rough guide to the direction in which the market is likely to move.
 
 Key Findings of the Report
 
 Primary aluminium output in China hit nearly 12.56 Million Metric Tons in 2007. Rising demand and slowing production are putting pressure on supply-demand balance.
 
 It is expected that from 2008 to 2018, the aluminium industry of China will grow by 12.5% against 7% growth for the global industry during the same period.
 
 Investment in infrastructure and buildings to house the rapidly expanding urban population are the two key factors behind the phenomenal growth in metal demand in China for purely domestic applications.
 
 Energy tightness will be a long-term issue restricting China’s primary aluminium production from expanding at its previous pace.
 
 Key Issues & Facts Analyzed in the Report
 
 How China’s aluminium industry is impacting the global industry?
 
 What is the status of aluminium production, consumption, end-user segments and export/import in China?
 
 What are the key opportunities for the industry?
 
 What are the major factors hindering the growth of the industry?
 
 How the China’s secondary aluminium market is performing?
 
 Key Players Analyzed in the Report

High-purity aluminum (HPA), referring to the metal with its aluminum content beyond 99.999% (5N), can be used for the manufacturing of aircrafts and tanks, aluminum ceramics, high-grade aluminum foil, high-class decorative materials, compound plates for car radiators, and baffle boards. Compared to traditional primarily-processed aluminum ingots, HPA is much more useful and is able to deliver huge value-added and great profit rooms.

But with its small production capacity of HPA, China is unable to meet the demand in the home market. Specifically, the annual production capacity of HPA in China is only 50,000 tons, about 12,000 tons behind the demand. Since the demand for HPA by industries of electric household appliances, PCs, semiconductors, and others would keep growing rapidly in the next few years in China, HPA would still be undersupplied, and there would be great opportunities in the country’s aluminum market.

The major HPA producers in China include Guanlv (Shanxi Province), Joinworld (Xinjiang Province), HEC Group (Shenzhen, Guangdong Province), and Guizhou Aluminum Plant, among which Joinworld accounts for about 80% of China’s HPA market, and 20% of the world’s. By the end of 2008, there will be eight companies able to produce HPA, with their combined annual production capacity of 57,000 tons. And by 2012, the similar number would be 11, with the total annual production capacity of 125,000 tons.
