    • 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 the United Arab Emirates and most of the unwrought aluminum comes from EGA’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. With no integrated hot rolling mills in the country, there is no domestic supply of slabs.

    Crude steel comes in different forms such as slabs, billets and blooms. Produced using continuous casting, slabs, billets, and blooms take the largest share of the crude steel market in the United Arab Emirates. Slabs are used to produce intermediate flat products (such as hot-rolled coil), while billets and blooms are used to produce long products (such as rebar and sections). Due to the availability of cheap electricity in the UAE, steel is produced using electric furnaces, which use mostly sponge iron as raw material.

  • United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Casting Parts Market Outlook Report

    • 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. On a global scale, the automotive industry is the largest consumer of aluminum casting parts; however, in the United Arab Emirates, construction, followed by durable goods (with a smaller share), is the largest consumer of aluminum casting parts.

    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.

  • UAE’s Copper Scrap and Wastes Market Outlook Report

    Copper scrap is one of the supply sources in the copper industry. It accounts for a third of total copper consumption in the UAE. Scrap is used in either of two ways: it is cast and refined into cathodes or unwrought products, or directly used in the production of copper and alloy semis. In the latter case, production costs are significantly reduced. Thus, copper scrap is mostly cast into unwrought products and sold to upstream buyers (to be converted into cathode) and downstream semis producers. It should be noted that semis producers with fire refining furnaces directly use scrap rather than secondary unwrought copper to produce semis.

    • 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 the United Arab Emirates 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 the United Arab Emirates is met almost entirely from imports. Construction and chemicals are the main consumers of aluminum sheets in the Arab country.

    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 the United Arab Emirates’ 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.

  • United Arab Emirates’ Aluminum Wire Rod Market Outlook Report

    • 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 the United Arab Emirates 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. Demand for aluminum wires and cables from electrical industries and related consumers is expected to be steady over the coming years.

    Ferroalloys are the most important consumables for steelmakers, used to remove impurities or produce steel alloys. Ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicomanganese are some of the most commonly used ferroalloys. Ferrosilicomanganese, which contains both manganese and silicon, has a growing market ahead; the share of this ferroalloy in providing the manganese required in steelmaking is rapidly growing, en route to dominate the ferromanganese market among global steelmakers.

    Winding wire is part of the copper products supply chain, in the wire and cable category. Winding wire (usually with an enamel coating) is used in automotive, electronic and electromechanical equipment, home appliances, and lighting. As one of the early steps in the supply chain of wires and cables with metal conductors, metal wire rod is drawn into wires in different diameters, which are then coated with different insulations based on applications. The quality of the conductor and the enamel used in the production of winding wire significantly affects the end product; production technology also affects the quality of winding wire. In older technologies, annealing followed drawing, but in more recent technologies, the two processes are carried out simultaneously, saving time and costs.

    Steel wire is produced in different diameters based on its applications. The construction industry is the largest consumer of wire in reinforced concrete (to tie rebar) for the frames and foundations of buildings. Consumable goods such as cages, nets, and springs with various applications are also instances of steel wire consumption. Steel wire is also used in elevator ropes, power transmission cables, welding electrodes, and mechanical springs in cars. Estimates suggest that Saudi Arabia’s steel wire market will have relative growth over the coming years.
