In 2024, the application of China's industrial aluminum extrusion in new energy vehicles (NEVs) (with sales expected to exceed 12 million units), aerospace, low-altitude economy, and other fields continued to grow. However, the industry also faced multiple challenges, including high and frequently fluctuating raw material prices, technological bottlenecks, international trade frictions, and the cancellation of export tax rebates. In 2025, the current aluminum extrusion industry is set to embrace three major growth opportunities: the "low-altitude economy" promoted by the state is opening up new application scenarios; the continuous increase in NEV sales (expected to exceed 12 million units in 2024) is driving a surge in demand for aluminum used in components such as electric drive casings and sill beams; and to circumvent trade barriers, the industry chain is accelerating its overseas layout in markets such as Southeast Asia and Mexico. These trends are reshaping the industry's growth landscape. To this end, Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) is focusing on the industry's development direction and, in collaboration with major industry associations and institutions across the industry chain, is jointly launching the "2025 Global Industrial Aluminum Extrusion Procurement Guide" for the aluminum semis industry chain.

SMM News on November 10: According to the latest weekly survey data from SMM, the weekly operating rate of aluminum bars this week recorded 67.49%, a decrease of 0.91% from the previous week, indicating a continued downward trend in the operating rate. As we enter the mid-to-early period of November, the traditional peak consumption season of "Golden September and Silver October" has officially ended, and the market has seen a notable shift between peak and off-peak seasons. According to SMM's survey, domestic aluminum profiles received fewer new orders in November. Industrial aluminum profiles gradually declined after experiencing peak demand, while demand for aluminum profiles in South China weakened significantly...

News on September 26: According to SMM statistics, on September 26, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in China's mainstream consumption areas was 697,000 tons, a decrease of 46,000 tons from last Wednesday; the inventory of aluminum bars in China's mainstream consumption areas was 116,000 tons, a decrease of 4,100 tons from last Wednesday.

SMM News on September 25: Today, the base price surged sharply, and the processing fee of aluminum bars fell significantly. The high mid-session price exacerbated the wait-and-see sentiment of downstream buyers, leading to a notable weakening of spot transactions. The downstream generally suppressed prices and made fewer purchases. Holders of goods had a demand for cash before the holiday, and subsequent processing fee quotes continued to decline, resulting in a sluggish market transaction...

News on September 23: According to statistics from SMM, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots in mainstream domestic consumption areas was 735,000 tons on September 23, a decrease of 8,000 tons from last Wednesday; the inventory of aluminum bars in mainstream domestic consumption areas was 123,300 tons, an increase of 2,000 tons from last Wednesday.

SMM News on September 20: Daily Review of Aluminum Bars: This week, the base price showed a strong performance, reaching the 20,000-yuan mark. The market processing fees for aluminum bars initially attempted to maintain their prices, but due to the strong wait-and-see sentiment among downstream buyers, who were pessimistic and offered lower prices with reduced purchases, the processing fees for aluminum bars in three regions all fell back. Holders of aluminum bars also adopted a wait-and-see attitude in the middle of the week, leading to a notable decrease in market quotations. As the weekend approached, those with cash-out needs took the opportunity to lower processing fees, resulting in a relatively sluggish market in terms of transactions. ...
