Iran’s Refined Zinc Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
A major part of unwrought zinc is produced from the leaching of oxide ore in sulfuric acid and the electrowinning process. All unwrought zinc produced in Iran uses the hydrometallurgical method. Sulfide ore is roasted before being used for unwrought production. Given the easy availability of oxide ore, there is only one smelter with roasting capacity in Iran; other smelters directly use oxide zinc ore. Galvanized steel producers are the main consumers of unwrought zinc in the country; galvanized steel has a wide range of applications including infrastructure, construction, transportation, and durable goods. The zinc coating prevents iron and steel from rusting.

Iran’s Refined Lead Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
A major part of unwrought lead is produced from secondary sources. Refined lead is mostly used in the production of lead-acid batteries; this makes old batteries the most important raw material for refined lead production. In addition to used batteries, lead concentrate is also used as feed by refined producers; the ratio varies depending on the availability of the materials.

Iran’s Lead & Zinc Concentrate Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Lead and zinc are usually found together in mines; almost 70% of total global mine production of lead comes from reserves that contain both minerals. Thus, lead concentrate is produced inevitably when producing zinc concentrate; there is a strong correlation between the mine output of these metals. Since zinc is more abundant in the Earth’s crust, lead and zinc mines generally contain more zinc than lead.

Iran’s Aluminum Extrusions Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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.

Turkey’s Aluminum Casting Parts Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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.

Iran’s Aluminum Foil Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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.

Iran’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report
9,829€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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.
