Oman’s Aluminum Sheet & Plate Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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 in Oman are mostly produced using cold rolling. 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. Domestic demand for aluminum beverage can in Oman is met almost entirely from imports. Construction and chemicals are the main consumers of aluminum sheets in the Arab country.

Oman’s Aluminum Wire Rod Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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 Oman 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. The development of the electrical grid (distribution and transmission lines) over the past years has led to growing demand for aluminum wires and cables, and wire rod as a result. Given the country’s outlook, the development of the electrical grid is expected to continue over the coming years, albeit at a slower pace compared to the past years.

Turkey’s Refined Copper Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Blister, anode, and refined copper (including ER and EW cathode) are the most important upstream copper products following mine production. Blister and anode are produced in smelting furnaces; in some technologies, anode is directly produced from concentrate without being converted into blister. Refined copper is produced in copper refineries. In electrorefining, anode is converted into cathode, whereas in electrowinning, water solution with copper content is precipitated and cathode is produced.

Turkey’s Lead and Zinc Concentrate Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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. Most of the lead mine supply in Turkey is from lead-zinc mines, with very few mines that contain only lead ore.

Turkey’s Copper Tube Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Copper and alloy tubes in Turkey’s market fall into three categories: copper, brass, and alloy (excluding brass), respectively accounting for the largest share of consumption. Tubes are available as coils (including pancake coils and level wound coils) and straight lengths. But alloy and brass tubes are not available as coils due to their larger diameter and limited flexibility; thus, they are sold as straight lengths.

Saudi Arabia’s Aluminum Casting Parts Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.
The possibility of casting aluminum into complex shapes has translated into wide applications of casting parts in various industries. But the automotive industry and home appliances, in that order, are two major consumers of aluminum casting parts. The construction sector (faucets and other components) followed by electric and electronic products (as connectors) are also large consumers of aluminum casting parts.

Turkey’s Refined Lead Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
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.

Turkey’s Unwrought Copper Market Outlook Report
9,698€
- TRY: 365,000 ₺
Unwrought copper is an intermediate group of products that includes slabs, billets, and ingots; it is used as raw material to produce copper semis and downstream products. It should be noted that ingots have a wider range of applications and are also used to produce billets and slabs. Alloy intermediate products (especially brass) account for the largest share of demand. This is because brass RBS have stronger demand compared to other copper semis.
