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 Turkey are mostly produced using cold rolling. There are fewer passes in the cold rolling process, which translates into less equipment required, lower capital intensity, and lower production costs.

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 Turkey. Both industries are expected to grow over the coming years.

Product Description

With a GDP of $761 billion in 2019, Turkey was the second largest economy in the region that year, behind Saudi Arabia. The country joined the Economic Cooperation Organization in 1961 and also became a member of G20 in 1991. However, Turkey is still a developing country, according to the UN in 2019. With an annual consumption of 1.2 million tonnes of aluminum, the country is the largest consumer in the region. But there is only one primary smelter in the country, which has ramped up capacity to 82,000 tonnes since late 2015 with renovation and improvement plans. High power costs (a major part of aluminum production costs) have made primary aluminum production less attractive in Turkey.

Market drivers of aluminum sheets and plates

Easy and quick installation, heat insulation (preventing energy loss), and self-cleaning properties are some of the advantages of using composite panels. Given that this type of façade is mainly used in commercial, non-residential buildings such as hotels and shopping malls, demand for composite panels is expected to grow as non-residential construction increases in the country. Moreover, with the population growth, development of the tourism industry, and the high urbanization rate, beverage production is expected to increase, giving a boost to demand for aluminum sheets used in beverage cans.

With higher beverage consumption in Turkey along with an increase in the number of foreign tourists, the government is considering increasing the tax on these products, which will further drive beverage prices. This can put pressure on beverage demand and, consequently, demand for aluminum sheets used in beverage cans will also be affected.

Overview of Turkey’s aluminum sheet and plate market

About a third of total aluminum consumption in Turkey goes to the production of flat aluminum products, with sheets and plates taking the largest share in the country’s total flat products. Trade balance has been generally positive over the years and the country has been a net exporter. Between 2015 and 2019, net exports averaged 51,800 tonnes per year. This proves the undeniable share of imports in Turkey’s sheets and plates market. Major suppliers were Germany and China; until 2018, Germany was in the lead, but then China took the crown. The US-China trade war and the cumbersome tariffs levied by the US on Chinese flat products changed the flow of Chinese products from the US to other countries; Turkey was one of the alternative destinations for Chinese producers. At the same time, Turkey’s exports to the US increased significantly, which indicates that Chinese products might have been re-exported with Turkish brands to the US through Turkey. Taking this into account, and also considering that the US-China tensions are expected to subside, Turkey’s role as a trade channel is likely to fade, but it will create opportunities for Turkish producers to continue their presence in the market. Thus, Turkey’s trade balance is expected to remain in positive territory and net exports will continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate.

Breakdown of Turkey’s aluminum sheet and plate market

Domestic demand for aluminum sheet and plate 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. Non-heat-treatable alloys hold the largest share of the market. In the second breakdown, products are divided into two categories based on thickness: sheets (0.2mm to 6.0mm) and plates (more than 6.0mm), with sheets taking a major share of the market. Finally, using the third factor, aluminum sheets and plates are categorized based on their applications in different industries. The packaging industry and the construction sector are the largest consumers of aluminum sheets and plates in Turkey.
