Summary: Benchmark aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) have stabilized near $3,030 per tonne as of late February. Market reports indicate that global inventories have fallen to multi-year lows, creating a structural supply deficit. This price firmness is largely driven by the “green energy” transition, with increasing consumption in renewable energy infrastructure and […]
Summary: Aerospace giant Embraer and Hindalco Industries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the manufacture of aerospace-grade aluminum raw materials in India. This collaboration aims to support Embraer’s industrial programs while strengthening the “Make in India” initiative. For extrusion manufacturers, this signals a growing demand for high-performance, precision-engineered profiles in the high-growth […]
Summary: New reports highlight that electric vehicle (EV) production now requires roughly 180-200kg of aluminium per vehicle. While “gigacasting” is gaining traction for underbodies, high-precision aluminium extrusions remain the gold standard for crash management systems and battery thermal management. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are prioritizing extruded profiles for their superior strength-to-weight ratios in heavier EV […]
Benchmark aluminium prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose by approximately 1.68% over the past week, stabilizing near $3,030 per tonne. The price support is attributed to falling global inventories and a structural supply deficit. For extrusion manufacturers, this signals sustained price firmness as “green energy” transitions continue to absorb available supply. Article Link […]
Summary: Analysts report a robust outlook for 2026, with the extrusion segment identified as a primary engine for growth. Driven by “green” infrastructure projects and a significant shift toward lightweighting in the automotive sector, the global aluminium extrusion market is projected to approach $100 billion this year. Manufacturers are increasingly pivoting toward sustainable alloys to […]
Summary: New market analysis for February 2026 highlights the “Electric Vehicle Revolution” as a primary driver for high-precision extrusions. EVs now require roughly 180–200 kg of aluminium per vehicle—a 25% increase over traditional engines. Specifically, the demand for 7003-series alloys for battery trays and specialized solar mounting frames is creating a high-volume niche for extrusion […]
Summary: The London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium cash offer price has stabilized at approximately $3,035 per tonne this week. While prices have cooled slightly from recent highs due to global financial consolidation, the long-term outlook remains firm. Global warehouse stocks have declined by 0.42%, signaling a continued structural supply deficit that supports a higher price […]
In a significant move for downstream manufacturers, major Indian air-conditioning and refrigeration companies are increasingly substituting copper with aluminium. This shift is driven by a recent 18% surge in copper prices fueled by massive demand from global data centers. Industry leaders, including representatives from the CII, indicate that the transition to aluminium is essential to […]
Summary: A new industry-wide shift toward “Low-Carbon Aluminum” is gaining momentum. Companies are increasingly adopting 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum for applications ranging from luxury packaging to green building façades. This trend is helping extrusion firms reduce energy consumption by up to 92% compared to primary production. Article Link : https://www.premiumbeautynews.com
Summary: India’s domestic aluminum consumption is projected for significant growth in 2026. Key drivers include railway modernization, solar mounting structures, and the “EV Revolution.” Aluminum extrusions are becoming the material of choice for battery housings and lightweight transport components, with the industry expecting an 8.4% growth in value-added profile demand this year.
