Growing construction market predicted to drive demand for aluminium until 2020

»»
RESEARCH FROM TECHNAVIO HAS revealed the global aluminium extrusion market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate ( CACGR ) of more than 6 % during the period 2016 – 2020 .
The Global Aluminium Market 2016 – 2020 Report predicts rapid growth in this market during the forecast period due to demand from many applications , especially in the building and construction industry ; with the report saying that Europe and the UK will benefit from this increase in demand .
Aluminium is used in many building and construction applications , such as window and door frames , panels and curtain walling . And with the global construction market expected to reach approximately $ 12 trillion by 2020 , increasing residential and non-residential projects in this sector will drive up demand for aluminium .
Managing Director of CDW Systems , Jerry Webb , who has publicly advocated for more use of aluminium in construction , comments :
“ At CDW we have kept a close eye on aluminium in construction and the trends in this market . Our own research coincides with this report and suggests that aluminium is due a revolution .
“ We were one of the first to identify a domestic renaissance in aluminium . As a material , it is now on a par with PVCu when it comes to energy efficiency , and its endearing qualities such as slim sightlines and good looks remain .
“ We ’ re also seeing a trend of replacement windows installed in the 1980s being replaced again – this time with aluminium as the material of choice . It ’ s happening and our customers are amongst the beneficiaries .”
Technavio ’ s aluminium report also predicted that a large percentage of aluminium extruded between 2016 and 2020 will be coloured .
The market for anodised aluminium grew by 28,000 metric tons in 2015 from 2014 and is expected to reach 6.68 million metric tons by 2020 . The market for powder coated aluminium is experiencing a massive demand and is expected to reach 3.61 million metric tons by 2020 .
While coloured aluminium products have long been used in the commercial construction market , sales of coloured aluminium windows and doors in the domestic market have risen recently as homeowner tastes evolve beyond standard white PVCu .
