Aluminum Sheets and Coils Market Size - By Product Type, Form, Processing Method, End Use Analysis, Share, Growth Forecast, 2025 - 2034

Aluminum Sheets and Coils Market Size

The global aluminum sheets and coils market was estimated at USD 52.4 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 52.4 billion in 2025 to USD 93 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6%.
 

The aluminum sheets and coils market observed a moderate increase during the period 2021 - 2024 with a compound annual growth rate of 5.5%. This increase was mainly driven by the growing demand for light weight durable materials used in the automotive and aerospace industries. In addition, the ever-increasing construction activities globally have also supported the demand for the market greatly. Now, the market for coils and aluminum sheets is expected to grow at a rate of 6% CAGR from 2025 to 2034.
 

This growth will be driven by the continued improvement in industrial activity coupled with the higher adoption rates of green and sustainable materials. In particular, the move towards the electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to drive growth substantially because of the lightweight nature of aluminum which is needed to reduce vehicle weight and improve energy efficiency. With strong competition and relatively low-cost electric cars, sales are to grow by almost 25% in 2024 compared to last year, reaching around 10 million. Moreover, the rising use of automation and digital technology in the manufacturing sector will likely enhance the efficiency of production to keep up with the rapidly growing demand for aluminum products.
 

Aluminum Sheets and Coils Market Trends

Sustainability and Recycling Initiatives: The focus on sustainability is shifting the paradigm towards recycling of aluminum, which minimizes the use of virgin materials. The recycling of aluminum sheets and coils utilizes less energy and fosters environmentally friendly manufacturing. Aluminum is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again and again without degrading its inherent value. Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
 

Technological Advancements in Manufacturing: Developments in manufacturing processes such as new techniques of casting and rolling are aimed at enhancing the quality and productivity of various aluminum sheets. The invention of automation systems and smart factories is helping manufacturers lower production and the cost of precision.
 

Shift Towards Electric Vehicles (EVs): Globally, the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is already beginning to affect the consumption of aluminum. Aluminum’s lightweight characteristics, which improve mass energy efficiency, are critical for these vehicles. By 2030, battery electric light-trucks are expected to average 644 pounds of aluminum content.
 

SUVs and pickups will make up nearly 85% of the BEV market by 2030. This is highly likely to escalate further with increased adoption of EVs, which will subsequently increase the demand for aluminum even more.
 

Tariffs Impact

The U.S.-China trade war is making aluminum sheets and coils more expensive for American buyers as all imports of aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, EU countries. With new tariffs, Trump's proclamation on aluminum increases the tariff rate on aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles for all countries, except Russia.
 

For Chinese manufacturers, the tariffs are anticipated to squeezed profit margins. Although China does not export a lot of steel or aluminum directly to the U.S. Many producers are now redirecting exports to Southeast Asia and Africa, but these markets can't fully replace lost U.S. business.
 

The ripple effects hurt both sides: U.S. manufacturers face higher costs during already tough times, while other producers see declining revenues across globe. Ironically, the tariffs may ultimately benefit third-party suppliers in other countries as both markets adjust to this new trade policies.
