Oman’s Aluminum Casting Parts Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- 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.
The possibility of casting aluminum into complex shapes has translated into wide applications of casting parts in various industries. On a global scale, the automotive industry is the largest consumer of aluminum casting parts; however, there is no operating auto sector in Oman. Notwithstanding, auto parts still account for a significant share of the production and consumption of aluminum casting parts.

Oman’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report

- 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 large capacities. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.
Aluminum smelting and the production of unwrought aluminum in Oman have mainly started after primary smelting began and Sohar’s smelters came online. Sohar Aluminium Company was established in 2004 and operations started since 2008. Accounting for almost two thirds of the country’s total unwrought output, Sohar offers its products to the market mainly as ingots or T-bars; however, the largest part of the company’s domestic sales is in the form of hot metal to downstream plants nearby, with ingots and T-bars being mostly exported. The other one third of the country’s unwrought output is by secondary smelters that produce alloys. Unwrought products such as slabs and bus bars are the most important ones produced by secondary smelters in Oman.
