North America Aluminum Market Overview:

The North America aluminum market accounted for $12,076.0 million in 2015 and is anticipated to reach $17,995.6 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2015 to 2023.

Aluminum is a lightweight, nonmagnetic, soft, and ductile metal. It is the third most abundant element found in the earths crust but is seldom found uncombined in nature. It is usually extracted from minerals such as cryolite and bauxite. It forms a reflective coating when evaporated in vacuum, which is utilized to manufacture telescope mirrors, packaging, and toys. It is used in the production of variety of products such as foils, window frames, kitchen utensils, airplane parts, beer kegs, and others.

The North America aluminum market is witnessing healthy growth over the past few years and it is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. This is due to the development of the transport industry and technological advancements in product manufacturing technologies, processing equipment, and alloy development over decades. In addition, increase in applications across various end-user industries due to its specific properties over other metals such as dampness and corrosion resistance. However, increase in competition from substitutes such as composites is expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, increase in use of recycled aluminum products is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the market players.
