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. Estimates suggest that Iran’s aluminum extrusion market will contract over the coming years due to decreased billet supply. On the demand side, higher prices due to the weakening of the rial against the greenback will dampen the demand for products from aluminum profiles.

Most of the aluminum foil produced in Iran uses continuous casting and rolling. Plants using this process are generally smaller (in terms of output capacity) than those using hot rolling. Yet, as the former requires fewer rolling passes and is carried out without any heat, production costs are lower than hot rolling. Moreover, owing to less expensive equipment, it also requires lower capital costs. Perishable food and drug packaging as well as disposable containers are the most important applications of aluminum foil. The share of the food and drug industry in the country’s GDP has grown over the past decade. According to studies, the sector’s output is forecast to be less affected by the sanctions, unlike many other industries.

Iran’s Aluminum Sheet and Plate Market Outlook Report

A major portion of aluminum sheets and plates fall in the non-heat-treatable alloy category. Series 3xxx and 5xxx alloys take the largest market share. There are also series 1xxx alloy sheets and plates, mainly used in electrical applications. Aluminum sheets and plates are produced using cold and hot rolling, but there is only one hot-rolling plant in the country. There are fewer passes in the cold rolling process, which translates into less equipment required, lower capital intensity, and lower production costs.

Aluminum smelters (unwrought producers) fall into two categories: primary and secondary smelters. Molten aluminum cast as unwrought products can be produced either through alumina electrolysis in primary smelters or through remelting scrap and pure ingots in secondary smelters. Primary smelting is a cost-intensive process; thus, such plants are usually large-scale producers that can be economical with capacities above 100,000 tonnes. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.

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 Iran 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.

Aluminum casting parts are part of the downstream supply chain of the aluminum industry; raw materials for the sector include both primary and secondary sources. One of the unique properties of aluminum in addition to the high specific strength and its high electrical and thermal conductivity, is the relatively low melting point that makes casting possible at low costs. Aluminum casting parts are produced using a variety of processes. Among these, pressure die casting and permanent mold casting are the most common. Sand casting also takes a considerable share of the market owing to low initial cost requirements.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Sheet and Plate Market Outlook Report

A major portion of aluminum sheets and plates fall in the non-heat-treatable alloy category. Series 3xxx and 5xxx alloys take the largest market share. There are also series 1xxx alloy sheets and plates, mainly used in electrical applications. Aluminum sheets and plates in Saudi Arabia are mostly produced using hot rolling. Hot rolling can be economically justifiable only in large capacities. There is only one producer of aluminum sheets using hot rolling, with a capacity of 380,000 tonnes.

Packaging for chemicals and beverages, false ceilings, dampa ceilings and tiles, as well as composite panels are some of the main applications of aluminum sheets and plates. Thus, construction and packaging are the main consumers of these products in Saudi Arabia. Both industries are expected to grow over the coming years.
