Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust and the second most widely used metal after steel. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and infinitely recyclable. Aluminum is critical for transportation, packaging, and renewable energy infrastructure.
Aluminum is essential for vehicle lightweighting to improve fuel efficiency and is a key material in solar panel and wind turbine construction. Demand is driven primarily by Automotive and aerospace lightweighting, Packaging and beverage cans, Construction and building materials. Supply is concentrated in China, India, Russia, so output disruptions or trade-policy shifts in those countries are the main long-run drivers of Aluminum prices.
