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 Wire Rod Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
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.

Oman’s Crude Steel Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Crude steel comes in different forms such as slabs, billets and blooms, and ingots. Produced using continuous casting, slabs, billets, and blooms take the largest share of Oman’s crude steel market. 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). Generally, almost all crude steel can be divided into two major categories based on production method: blast furnaces (BF) and electric furnaces (EF). EFs used in steelmaking include induction furnaces and electric arc furnaces (EAF). Only EFs are used to produce steel in Oman, almost all of which are EAFs.

Oman’s Power Wire and Cable Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Power wires and cables include all electrical conductors used in the power industry, automotive, construction, equipment and machinery, or put another way, all industrial applications. 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. Wires are also used in wiring harnesses for motor vehicles. Finally, wires (coated or otherwise) are twisted into cables. Copper is the main conductor used in the production of power wires and cables in Oman.

- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Steel cold-formed sections (CFS) are produced in various shapes with wide applications in different industries. The construction industry is the largest consumer of CFS in columns, frames, doors and windows, fences, and railings. Steel CFS is produced in two forms: open-seam and welded sections with various industrial and constructional applications. A major portion of CFS is used in manufacturing doors and windows. CFS with small square and rectangular cross sections is used as grill for doors and windows, railings for staircases, and fences. Open CFS sections are used in the ceilings of industrial sheds and guardrails. Estimates suggest that Oman’s steel CFS market will decline over the coming years compared to the previous years, even without supply tightness of sheets.

Oman’s Copper Wire Rod Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- TRY: 475,000 ₺
Copper wire rod includes products with diameters of 6mm or greater (known as rod) and smaller than 6mm (known as wire). It includes the following types (in all cross sections):
- Electrolytic cathode wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
- Oxygen-free wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
- Oxygen-free alloy wire rod (EN1977)
The first two types of wire rod have a minimum copper content of 99.99%. Alloy wire rod contains trace amounts (less than 0.1%) of silver with a total copper-silver content of 99.99%.
It should be noted that clean, high-grade scrap is used as part of the furnace feed in the production of copper wire rod, but this depends on production technology. Wire rod produced from scrap usually requires control and further processing to be converted into standard products for electrical applications. Thus, wire rod from scrap is partly used in non-electrical applications.

Oman’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report
9,694€
- 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.
