List of Tables

North America Aluminum Extrusion Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product Type (Shapes, Rods & Bars, Pipes & Tubes, Structural Aluminum Extrusions, Custom Aluminum Extrusions, Standard Aluminum Extrusions, Aluminum Profiles, and Others) and by End-User (Building & Construction, Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Machinery & Equipment, Consumer Goods, Packaging, Healthcare, and Others) Forecast Period (2025-2035)

Industry Overview

North American aluminum extrusion market was valued at $19.0 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $48.6 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period (2025-2035). The North American aluminum extrusion market is driven by demand from the construction and transportation sectors, fueled by government investment in infrastructure and the growing need for lightweight and sustainable materials in vehicles. Additionally, the other factors include expansion in the renewable energy industry, increasing development of distribution centers, and the overall trend towards a circular economy and the use of recycled aluminum. However, the market faces challenges from fluctuating raw material prices and the energy-intensive nature of the production process.

Market Dynamics

Lightweighting & EV adoption in Automotive & Transportation

Automakers are rapidly switching components to aluminum extrusions (structural rails, crash management elements, battery housings and body structures) to reduce vehicle curb weight and increase range in battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This structural and thermal-management demand creates high-value, custom-extrusion opportunities for suppliers and is a principal driver of near-term extrusion growth across North America.

Construction and architectural demand for high-performance, low-maintenance materials

Aluminum extrusions are widely used in curtain walls, window/door frames, curtain wall systems, facade elements, and structural components. Renovation cycles, stricter energy codes, and a push for long-life low-maintenance building envelopes are expanding demand for finished extruded profiles in both commercial and multifamily residential construction. Growth in retrofit and green-building activity further supports this segment.

Recycling, circularity, and supply-chain localization

Investment in recycling capacity and closed-loop supply chains (to produce more secondary aluminum for extrusions) is reducing feedstock cost volatility and improving sustainability credentials for extrusion suppliers. Major players are expanding US recycling capacity and extrusion press capabilities, which support higher regional output while meeting buyer sustainability requirements. Trade policy and regional reshoring trends also encourage domestic extrusion capacity additions.

Market Segmentation

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into shapes, rods & bars, pipes & tubes, structural aluminum extrusions, custom aluminum extrusions, standard aluminum extrusions, aluminum profiles, and others.
Based on the application, the market is segmented into building & construction, automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, machinery & equipment, consumer goods, packaging, healthcare, and others.

Automotive & Transportation Segment to Lead the Market with the Largest Share

Automotive & Transportation is expected to lead the North America aluminum extrusion market in terms of the largest share through the 2025-2035 horizon. The rationale is threefold: (1) depth and variety of extrusion applications in vehicles - structural members, rails, crash management, heat-sinks for electric powertrains and battery enclosures which require complex, high-integrity extruded profiles; (2) rapid EV penetration that increases per-vehicle aluminum usage for body-in-white and chassis components; and (3) OEMs' supply-chain strategies that favor regional extruders capable of delivering large, certified volumes with finishing and tight tolerances. Market analyses and forecasts repeatedly cite the transportation/automotive vertical as a primary growth engine in North America, and many leading extrusion firms prioritize investments that serve this sector.

Shapes: Key Segment in Market Growth

Shapes are the fastest-growing in the product-type segment in North America and are expected to continue leading revenue through the forecast period. Grand View Research and other regional analyses identify shapes as the high-volume, broad-use category-used across building & construction (frames, mullions, rails), consumer goods, and many industrial applications-making it the dominant product class by value and volume

Regional Outlook

The North America aluminum extrusion market is further divided by countries, including the US, and Canada.

US Dominates the Market with a Major Share

The United States dominates the North American aluminum extrusion market by a significant margin and is expected to remain the region's primary market throughout the forecast period. Several market reports and industry briefs identify the U.S. as the largest national market in North America, reflecting its large manufacturing base, concentration of automotive OEMs and suppliers, major construction and infrastructure activity, and a sizable packaging and industrial production footprint that together create the largest demand pool for extruded aluminum products. In addition, the US hosts large extrusion and finishing capacities as well as integrated players (producers and recyclers) that can supply high-volume, high-specification profiles for demanding end uses. The US advantage is reinforced by near-term policy and industry incentives to reshore manufacturing, investments in battery and EV ecosystems, and higher levels of retrofit/modernization construction spending that together maintain strong domestic demand for extrusions.

From a supply perspective, several leading extrusion companies are either headquartered in or operate significant manufacturing and recycling facilities in the US, enabling proximity to OEMs and reducing logistics complexity for bulky extruded profiles. The country's advanced supplier network - including press capacity, advanced finishing lines, and testing/certification labs - makes it attractive for automakers and architects who require stringent quality control and short lead times. Moreover, the U.S. market benefits from relatively large downstream demand in transportation (cars, light and heavy vehicles), building & construction, and industrial equipment - segments that use both commodity extrusions and highly engineered profiles. Finally, trade measures and tariff regimes over recent years have encouraged regional sourcing and investment in North American capacity, a trend that further concentrates extrusion activity within the United States. For these reasons, the U.S. stands as the dominant national market within North America in both consumption and installed extrusion capacity.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies operating in the global North America aluminum extrusion market include Arconic Corp., Astro Shapes, Hydro Extrusions, Kaiser Aluminum, Novelis, Sierra Aluminum, and others. The companies are pursuing partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to drive innovation, expand product portfolios, enhance sustainability, and strengthen market presence. These strategies enable players to respond to growing demand for energy-efficient, high-performance insulation solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial applications while maintaining a competitive edge.

Recent Developments

In July 2024, Taber Extrusions announced a $60 million expansion in Russellville (Arkansas) to add the largest direct-extrusion press in North America and create ~70 jobs, signaling capacity investment for aerospace/industrial demand.
In April 2025, Norsk Hydro revised its extrusions outlook and flagged weaker downstream demand while reporting Q1 results, an indicator of near-term demand variability and margin pressure in large global extruders with North American exposure.
