Market demand and supply analysis of the aluminum CNC processing industry

At present, aluminum processing products are widely used in emerging fields such as high-speed rail, urban rail, solar panels, electric vehicles, etc., while there is a gap between my country's aluminum processing products and its own needs, low-end production capacity is in excess, and high-end products need to be imported in large quantities. The aluminum industry faces both development opportunities and new challenges.

my country's urbanization and industrialization continue to advance, providing a large market space for the development of the aluminum industry. The development of strategic emerging industries and lightweight transportation vehicles require important support from the aluminum industry. The pace of corporate restructuring has accelerated, and the integration of coal-fired power and aluminum processing industries has added new vitality to the development of the aluminum industry and faces good development opportunities.

Aluminum production situation

my country's aluminum sheet, strip and foil production situation shows that the total production capacity accounts for a high proportion in the world, while the average production capacity of enterprises is low and the scale advantage is not obvious. my country's total output of aluminum sheets, strips and foils is large, and it has become the country with the largest production capacity and output of aluminum sheets, strips and foils in the world. With the rapid development of my country's economy, my country's aluminum processing industry is also achieving leapfrog development and moving towards becoming a world aluminum processing power.

In the past decade, my country's aluminum sheet and strip production has been growing overall. From 2019 to 2021, my country's total aluminum sheet, strip and foil production was 15.36 million tons, 15.99 million tons and 17.90 million tons, respectively, maintaining a sustained growth trend. However, the average production capacity of my country's aluminum sheet, strip and foil rolling industrial enterprises is low, and the scale advantage is not obvious. According to statistics, the average production capacity of China's large-scale aluminum sheet and strip enterprises is 59,000 tons, and the average output is 55,000 tons, while the average production capacity of aluminum sheet and strip enterprises in Europe and the United States is about 200,000 tons; the average production capacity of China's large-scale aluminum foil enterprises is 34,000 tons, and the average output is 31,000 tons, while the average production capacity of aluminum foil enterprises in Europe and the United States is about 80,000 tons. The production scale of China's aluminum rolling enterprises is significantly lower than the global average, and even lower than that of developed countries. In 2021, my country's export trade volume of aluminum sheets and strips reached 3.9 million tons, and the import trade volume reached 360,000 tons. From the perspective of the main imported varieties, high-precision aluminum sheets and strips such as aviation sheets and automobile body sheets are the main products of my country's aluminum sheet and strip imports.

From 2019 to 2021, my country's aluminum profile output was 20.08 million tons, 21.38 million tons and 22.02 million tons respectively, and it is still in a continuous growth trend. With the continued growth of China's macro-economy, it is expected that the demand for aluminum profiles will continue to grow in the future.
