Aluminum extrusion manufacturers are shifting from building profiles to industrial and decorative

The most famous extruded aluminum manufacturers in China are concentrated in the Nanhai area and have switched to decorative and industrial aluminum profiles as the demand for these products is constantly growing.

Nanhai contributes to the production of 70 percent of the country's total aluminum structures, which are mainly supplied to the construction sector. But since this market is overcrowded, manufacturers are looking for other directions for the supply of their products. The fact is that the extrusion process, in comparison with other production methods, allows you to create profiles with a very complex section, high strength and light weight.

According to data published in 2014, the consumption of aluminum profiles in China in the transport industry covers almost 160 thousand tons. It is expected that the rate of consumption of aluminum extrusion in the transport sector will increase to 220 thousand tons by 2016, and then in 2020, the consumption of aluminum profiles in the transport sector will reach 350 thousand tons.

Currently, when analysts' forecasts indicate an oversupply of aluminum extrusions for construction purposes, it is confusing aluminum extrusion manufacturers in China. However, the market is in demand for decorative and industrial aluminum profiles, the scope of which is rapidly expanding. They are already used in alternative energy and are essential elements for military, aviation and aerospace solutions. Therefore, traders feel that now is the time to move their business into areas with growing demand.
