Development Prospects Of The Aluminum Processing Industry In The Next Few Years

As an important pillar of modern industry, the development prospects of the aluminum processing industry are driven by a variety of factors. Based on the current policy environment, technological innovation and market demand, the development trends in 2025 and the next few years can be summarized as follows:

1. The market size is growing, and high-end and greening have become the core directions

1. Expand the market size

The output value of China's aluminum processing industry continues to grow, with a total output value exceeding 1 trillion yuan in 2022, accounting for nearly 40% of the global market share. It is estimated that by 2025, the market size will exceed 200 million yuan, and by 2030, it will reach 3 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate remaining double-digit. The growth momentum is mainly derived from demand in emerging areas such as new energy vehicles, aerospace and green buildings, as well as upgrades in traditional industries such as transportation and electronic equipment.

2. Regional and global layout

The eastern coastal areas (Yang's River Delta and Pearl River Delta) are still core industrial areas, but the central and western regions accelerate their development through policy support, forming a "model of strengthening the East and gradually gradually moving towards the west." As far as international markets are concerned, the “Belt and Road” strategy has promoted export growth, and emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa have become the focus of expansion.

2. Technological innovation promotes industrial upgrading

1. Production process innovation

Recycled aluminum technology: The production capacity of recycled aluminum is expected to reach 20 million tons by 2025, but it is necessary to break the bottlenecks of recycling and smelting technology and increase the proportion of high-value products.

Intelligence and Digital: AI and big data technologies are used to optimize production processes such as machine vision detection of aluminum defects, and smart factories to reduce labor costs.

Green low-carbon technology: Electrolytic aluminum explores the recycling of carbon dioxide and promotes clean energy (hydropower, photovoltaics) to replace traditional energy.

2. Breakthrough in material development

The application of high-performance aluminum alloys (such as high temperature resistance, lightweight and high strength) in the fields of aviation, new energy vehicles, etc. is accelerating cnc milling, thus promoting the expansion of industrial chains to the high end.

3. Policy support and sustainable development requirements

1. National strategic guidance

The 14th Five-Year Plan clearly supports the green transformation of the aluminum processing industry, encourages collaborative innovation in the industrial chain, and promotes the research and development of aluminum-based composite materials. Local policies attract corporate layout through tax incentives and land support.

2. Environmental protection pressure escalates

Environmental protection regulations have become more stringent, and companies need to reduce energy consumption and emissions. For example, promote the circular economy model, enhance the recycling and utilization of scrap aluminum, and establish a closed-loop industrial chain.

4. Diversified expansion of downstream application fields

1. New energy and transportation heavyweight

The proportion of aluminum in the car body and battery frame has increased, helping to save energy and reduce emissions. The transportation sector is expected to consume more than 1.5 million tons in 2025, with an average annual growth rate of 8%.

2. Green buildings and smart houses

Demand for energy-efficient aluminum doors, windows and refractory aluminum panels is growing, and smart homes promote the lightweight design of aluminum shells.

3. Electronics and electrical appliances and new energy

There is a great demand for 5G base station cooling materials CNC metal, photovoltaic brackets, etc., and in 2025, aluminum consumption in electronic and electrical fields may reach 2 million tons.
