Saudi Arabia’s Copper RBS Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.

United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Scrap and Waste Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.

UAE’s Zinc Unwrought Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
A major part of unwrought zinc is produced from the leaching of oxide ore in sulfuric acid and the electrowinning process. The UAE’s demand for unwrought zinc is mostly met through imports, with domestic output taking a small share.

Saudi Arabia’s Copper Wire Rod Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.
Secondary smelting capacity is limited in Saudi Arabia and most of the unwrought aluminum comes from Ma’aden’s primary smelter. Unwrought aluminum is in three forms: ingots, billets, and slabs. While aluminum ingots are produced through single-batch casting of molten aluminum in 1,000lb or 50lb molds, slab and billets are produced through direct chill casting. Ingots are re-melted before use, but billets and slabs are usually extruded and rolled, respectively, into profiles and flat products. Considering there is only one integrated hot rolling mill in the country that also produces slabs, it does not offer its slabs in the market.

Saudi Arabia’s Wire and Cable Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
In terms of applications, wires and cables can be categorized as electrical, telecom, and winding wire. Electrical wires and cables include all electrical conductors in the power industry (both HV and LV), automotive, construction, equipment and machinery, or in other words, all industrial applications. Telecom wires and cables include twisted pairs, high-frequency cables, coaxial cables, optical fiber, and a combination of copper and optical fiber. Winding wire has a thin coating and is mostly used in coil windings.

Oman’s Aluminum Extrusions Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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. Due to Oman’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.
