The development trend of China's aluminum profile industry.

The aluminum profile industry chain has upstream raw material processing. Through processing bauxite, it finally becomes the process of aluminum extruded materials. The middle reaches are aluminum profiles, which can be divided into architectural aluminum profiles and industrial aluminum profiles. The downstream is applied in photovoltaic, automotive lightweighting, rail transit, medical and environmental protection, construction, etc.

1. Aluminum profile output

With economic recovery and the continuous expansion of aluminum application fields, the output of aluminum profiles will show a stable growth trend. According to the "2024-2029 In-depth Analysis and Investment Strategy Research Consulting Report on China's Aluminum Profile Industry" released by the China Commerce Industry Research Institute, in 2023, China's aluminum profile output was about 21.8 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9%. Analysts from the China Commerce Industry Research Institute predict that in 2024, China's aluminum profile output will exceed 22 million tons.

2. Aluminum profile market structure

At present, architectural aluminum profiles account for a relatively high proportion in China's aluminum profile market, reaching 56%, and industrial aluminum profiles account for 44%.

3. Aluminum extruded materials

Aluminum extruded materials are aluminum processing materials made through the extrusion process. Their cross-sectional shapes and sizes can be adjusted according to mold design. According to data from the China Nonferrous Metals Fabrication Industry Association, in 2023, China's aluminum extruded material output was 23.15 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, accounting for 48.4% of the total aluminum output. Analysts from the China Commerce Industry Research Institute predict that in 2024, China's aluminum extruded material output will increase to 23.5 million tons.

4. Architectural aluminum profiles

Architectural aluminum profiles are materials made by casting aluminum and a small amount of metals (such as magnesium) into a certain shape through a certain process and are specifically used in the construction field. According to the "2024-2029 In-depth Analysis and Investment Strategy Research Consulting Report on China's Aluminum Profile Industry" released by the China Commerce Industry Research Institute, in 2023, China's architectural aluminum profile output was about 12.208 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 1.55%. Analysts from the China Commerce Industry Research Institute predict that in 2024, China's architectural aluminum profile output will reach 12.27 million tons.

5. Industrial aluminum profiles

Industrial aluminum profiles, also known as industrial aluminum materials, industrial aluminum alloy profiles, etc., are alloy materials with aluminum as the main proportion content. According to the "2024-2029 In-depth Analysis and Investment Strategy Research Consulting Report on China's Aluminum Profile Industry" released by the China Commerce Industry Research Institute, in 2023, China's industrial aluminum profile output was about 9.592 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 26.2%. Analysts from the China Commerce Industry Research Institute predict that in 2024, China's industrial aluminum profile output will reach 9.77 million tons.
