Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Scrap and Waste Market Outlook Report

- TRY: 475,000 ₺
The low energy consumption required for recycling aluminum makes the process important. The energy required to recycle aluminum is about 4-5% of the energy that is needed to produce the light-weight metal from bauxite. Thus, recycling aluminum will result in 95% energy saving. Aluminum scrap and waste fall into two general categories: new and old scrap. New scrap is metal that is left over during the production of finished products or semis. Old scrap, on the other hand, is metal from end-of-life goods. Aluminum scrap can be used by producers with melting capacities.

Saudi Arabia’s Copper Scrap and Waste Market Outlook Report

- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Copper scrap is one of the supply sources in the copper industry. It accounts for a third of total copper consumption in Saudi Arabia. Scrap is used in either of two ways: it is cast and refined into cathodes or unwrought products, or directly used in the production of copper and alloy semis. In the latter case, production costs are significantly reduced. Thus, copper scrap is mostly cast into unwrought products and sold to upstream buyers (to be converted into cathode) and downstream semis producers. It should be noted that semis producers with fire refining furnaces directly use scrap rather than secondary unwrought copper to produce semis.

Output from copper ore processing includes concentrates, SXEW cathode, or cement copper. Copper concentrate is produced in concentrators that use sulphide ore as feed. SXEW cathode is produced in hydrometallurgical plants using oxide ore as feed. Cement copper is produced in hydrometallurgical (cementation) plants that can use oxide ore or copper scrap as feed. Copper concentrate in Turkey’s market has an average grade between 24% and 26%. Cement copper in Turkey, like global markets, does not have a significant share and the grades are between 69% and 71%. Finally, SXEW cathode is produced according to global standards with 99.99% grades, which is equivalent to the LME’s grade A cathode.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Extrusions Market Outlook Report

Thanks to their various shapes, aluminum extrusions have wide applications in different industries. Among the consumer industries, the construction sector is the largest consumer of extrusions in curtain walls and aluminum doors and windows. Due to Saudi Arabia’s hot climate, the construction industry has moved towards using more insulation products, such as curtain walls and double-glazed doors and windows, which will not only minimize energy loss, but also have much lower installation costs in tall, big buildings compared to other types of façade.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Wire Rod Market Outlook Report

- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Aluminum wire rod is generally produced using one of three processes: continuous casting and rolling, direct casting, and extrusion. The production process affects the dimensions, shape, quality, and purity of the wire rod. Most of the wire rod produced through extrusion is packed in bundles, but wire rod that is produced through casting is often packed as coils. Most of the wire rod coil produced in Saudi Arabia is through continuous casting and rolling. The process involves the continuous casting of billets and then rolling it into wire rod with the desired thickness.
The production of aluminum wires and cables accounts for the main consumption of wire rod. Mechanical applications such as rivets, screws, fences, and meshes are also large consumers. Demand for aluminum wires and cables from electrical industries and related consumers is expected to be steady over the coming years.

Saudi Arabia’s Copper RBS Market Outlook Report

- TRY: 475,000 ₺
The dimensions of copper and brass rods, bars, and sections (RBS) are determined by their cross section shapes and sizes. Generally, RBS come in round, square or rectangular, and hexagonal cross sections; round RBS cross sections range from 1.5mm to 90mm. Polygonal RBS can be from 4mm to 80mm in cross section diameter. RBS in smaller cross section sizes are sold in coils, while other products are sold as straight lengths. RBS are also categorized as hollow and solid. Copper busbars are produced in round and flat forms in different sizes. These products are mostly produced through the extrusion of billets as raw materials. However, busbars and strips are partly produced from rolled copper wire rod.

Saudi Arabia’s Copper Wire Rod Market Outlook Report

Copper wire rod includes products with diameters of 6mm or greater (known as rod) and smaller than 6mm (known as wire). It includes the following types (in all cross sections):
- Electrolytic cathode wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
- Oxygen-free wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
- Oxygen-free alloy wire rod (EN1977)
The first two types of wire rod have a minimum copper content of 99.99%. Alloy wire rod contains trace amounts (less than 0.1%) of silver with a total copper-silver content of 99.99%.
It should be noted that clean, high-grade scrap is used as part of the furnace feed in the production of copper wire rod, but this depends on production technology. Wire rod produced from scrap usually requires control and further processing to be converted into standard products for electrical applications. Thus, wire rod from scrap is partly used in non-electrical applications.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Foil Market Outlook Report
9,711€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Most of the aluminum foil produced in Saudi Arabia uses continuous casting and rolling. Perishable food and drug packaging as well as disposable containers are the most important applications of aluminum foil. Most of the country’s demand is met through imports, with domestic output taking a small share of the market. Saudi Arabia’s food and drug industry has grown over the years, bolstering demand for aluminum foil.
