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.

Product Description

With a GDP of over $792 billion in 2019, Saudi Arabia was the largest economy in the region that year. The country’s economy, the second richest country in terms of natural resources, is heavily dependent on oil, its main natural resource. But since the introduction of the 2030 Vision in 2016, the country has determined to minimize oil reliance. In accordance with the goals defined in the vision, state-owned Ma’aden signed a joint venture agreement with Alcoa for aluminum smelting capacity in 2010; the first primary aluminum was produced in 2013 and before long, the operation was ramped up to full capacity. In the early years, Ma’aden had to import alumina due to technical issues in its alumina refinery as well as the tightness in alumina supply. After 2015, when these issues were resolved and the alumina refinery capacity was completed, alumina imports decreased. The country’s alumina demand is currently met almost entirely from domestic mineral reserves. This minimizes the risk of raw materials for aluminum production to very low levels. As a result, the country’s downstream aluminum part has rapidly developed over the recent years.

Market drivers of Saudi Arabia’s aluminum extrusions

Saudi Arabia’s construction industry has been growing over the years and many have forecast more brisk growth in the coming years. Buildings are quickly changing from traditional designs into more modern, European styles with abundant use of curtain walls and double-glazed aluminum windows. Drivers of the construction sector will be intact in the forecast period, so the extrusions market is expected to continue growing.

Double-glazed doors and windows are among major consumers of aluminum extrusions. The quality and visual appeal of aluminum doors and windows compared to PVC ones have supported demand and are expected to continue to do so. But the growth might slow down during periods of bearish markets and low liquidity.

Saudi Arabia reported the first case of Covid-19 in early March 2020. Lockdown measures were then implemented, leading to a 70% drop in the country’s mobility index. As the pandemic continued to spread across the country, more strict measures were taken, putting further pressure on the mobility index. The country is now past the first wave of Covid-19, but many are still forecasting worse to come in the coming months. Thus, lockdowns are expected to continue, albeit temporarily, disrupting industrial performance and eventually lead to a decline in demand for aluminum semis, including extrusions.

Overview of Saudi Arabia’s aluminum extrusions market

Saudi Arabia has massive capacities for aluminum extrusions. With low labor costs, the country has been able to export these products at low prices in international markets; however, given the country’s huge market, domestic producers do not have the opportunity to export their products, so most of their output is consumed domestically.

Considering the country’s plans to diversify its economy away from oil as well as the full support by the government through facilities to industrial plants, domestic supply of extrusions is expected to grow in the coming years, albeit at a slower pace compared to the recent years. Thus, the tight supply is expected to ease until there is relative balance in the domestic market. However, the country is likely to remain a net importer of aluminum extrusions.

Breakdown of Saudi Arabia’s aluminum extrusions market

Domestic demand for aluminum extrusions in the forecast timeframe as well as the previous period has been broken down using three factors. The first factor breaks down the market into three categories based on alloy material: commercially pure aluminum, heat-treatable alloys, and non-heat-treatable alloys. Past and future trends for each type of material have been analyzed. Heat-treatable alloys hold the largest share of the market. In the second breakdown, products are divided into two categories based on product type: hollow and solid products. Solid extrusions hold the largest share of the market. Finally, using the third factor, aluminum extrusions are categorized based on their applications in different industries. The construction sector is the largest consumer of aluminum extrusions in Saudi Arabia.
