The Global Outlook for Aluminium in Transportation What is the aluminium market break-up, by downstream product? How is aluminium demand split across all the different transportation sub-sectors and what is their outlook to 2020? What are the recent technology developments in the industry and their impact on the transportation market? In this current global economy the transportation sector plays a pivotal role in the aluminium industry, as it is one of the key enduse sectors. Nearly all modes of transportation on land, air and water make use of aluminium and its alloys. Many multinationals are becoming ever conscious of fluctuating fuel costs and as a result are exploring light weight options, resulting in achieving greater fuel savings and increased payload carrying capacity. Aluminium semi-finished products, such as flat rolled sheet products, extrusions and castings are increasingly being employed in constructing vehicles and transportation systems. While employing aluminium in place of steel and other metals requires initial investment it can lead to significant cost savings in the medium to long-term. Over the last few years aluminium has increasingly been used in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles as the demand for fuel efficient vehicles has grown and the benefits of employing aluminium to achieve this is recognised. However, getting reliable and accurate consumption data by end-user, from independent third party sources to help plan future company strategy has never been easy. Until now. Available for the first time, Metal Bulletin Research (MBR) have published a comprehensive study, The Global Outlook for Aluminium in Transportation, which analyses the current market and provides demand forecasts out to 2020 for aluminium in the transportation sector across key enduse sectors and geographical regions. This study is essential reading for industry professionals seeking to exploit opportunities in new markets. Analysis of several key end-use sectors and their usage patterns is provided including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, railways, motorcycles, aerospace and shipbuilding. The employment of aluminium in transportation is projected to increase in the coming years. Which countries is this growth in demand likely to stem from and in what form will this take? How can you and your company best benefit in targeting this end-user sector? A discussion of significant demand drivers in the industry and the impact of recent technology developments are further detailed.
