Solid profiles dominated the overall aluminum extrusion market owing to the simplicity in manufacturing and structural solidity. Solid profiles include shapes like rods, bars, flat bars, angles (L-profiles), channels (U or C shapes), and beams, offering high material density for strength without internal openings. They are extruded using straightforward solid dies, making production faster and more cost-effective than complex profiles like semi-hollow and hollow profiles.

''By alloy grade, 6xxx alloy grade accounted for the largest share of the overall aluminum extrusion market in 2024.''
6xxx series aluminum alloys dominate the aluminum extrusion market due to their optimal combination of extrudability, medium-to-high strength, corrosion resistance, and heat-treatable properties. These alloys, primarily alloyed with magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si) to form magnesium silicide, enable complex shapes and thin-walled profiles essential for extrusions.
6xxx alloys offer excellent formability during extrusion, good weldability with 4xxx or 5xxx fillers, and superior surface finish for anodizing or painting. Common tempers like T5 or T6 enhance strength via precipitation hardening at 160-182°C. They balance tensile strength (18-58 ksi) with ductility, though sensitive to cracking if not managed.
''The mill-finished segment is estimated to be the most preferred surface finish of aluminum extrusion during the forecast period.''
The mill-finished segment is expected to dominate the market and register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Lower production costs from skipping finishing processes make mill-finished extrusions attractive for high-volume manufacturing, especially amid rising raw material prices and inflation pressures. This segment benefits from shorter lead times, enabling quick supply to industrial users who apply custom finishes later.
''The construction & infrastructure end-use industry dominated the aluminum extrusion market in 2024.'
The construction & infrastructure sector is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period, in terms of value. The construction industry is also one of the major end users of aluminum extruded products. Aluminum is considered one of the most viable building materials due to the wide range of benefits it offers, such as light strength-to-weight ratio, sustainability, recyclability, and versatility. Aluminum is widely used in construction as it helps building projects qualify for green building status under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.
"Asia Pacific is estimated to account for the largest share in the overall aluminum extrusion market."
Asia Pacific holds the dominant share in the global aluminum extrusion market. This leadership stems from rapid industrialization, urbanization, and surging demand across key sectors. Robust economic growth in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea fuels infrastructure projects and high-rise construction, which heavily rely on extruded aluminum for its lightweight strength and corrosion resistance.
The automotive industry in the region prioritizes lightweight materials for fuel-efficient vehicles amid strict emissions rules, with China as the world's largest auto market. Electronics, machinery, and renewable energy sectors (like solar frames) further boost usage due to aluminum's conductivity and versatility.
Prominent companies include Jindal Aluminum Limited (India), Hindalco Industries Ltd. (India), Alcoa Corporation (US), Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (China), RUSAL (Russia), Century Aluminum Company (US), Norsk Hydro ASA (Norway), Constellium (France), Kaiser Aluminum (US), Hammerer Aluminum Industries (Austria), Banco Aluminium Private Limited (India), Maan Aluminium Limited (India), Shenzhen Oriental Turdo Ironwares Co., Ltd.
