Aluminum Market to Reach $285B by 2033, Fueled by Transport and Construction Growth
The global aluminum market grew to $162 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit $285.4 billion by 2033, a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024‑2033. Growth is driven by the expanding transportation sector—especially electric vehicles—and rising construction demand, while advances in inert‑anode smelting and recycling technologies enhance sustainability and reduce production costs.
