Introduction
The aluminium industry continues to evolve rapidly in 2025. With rising global demand, sustainability regulations, and innovations in alloy technology, the sector is witnessing transformation across manufacturing, application, and trade. ALUTimes brings you a comprehensive overview of the most impactful aluminium news and market trends of the year.
1. Surge in Demand from EV & Renewable Energy Sectors
India’s EV production is expected to grow by 45% this year, directly influencing the demand for lightweight aluminium components in batteries, chassis, and powertrains. Solar energy projects are also increasingly adopting aluminium for mounting structures due to its corrosion resistance and recyclability.
2. Global Aluminium Prices and Supply Chain Outlook
In Q2 2025, global aluminium prices hovered between $2,350 and $2,600 per ton. While China has eased production, Southeast Asian exports are rising. Indian producers like Hindalco and Vedanta are expanding capacity to reduce import dependence.
3. Government Policy Push for Local Aluminium Manufacturing
The Indian government is promoting aluminium under Make in India and PLI schemes, focusing on defence, aerospace, and transport applications. Custom duties on finished aluminium products have been increased to encourage domestic sourcing.
4. Green Aluminium – The Sustainability Shift
Low-carbon aluminium production is gaining momentum. Companies like Hindalco and Jindal Aluminium are investing in green smelting units using hydroelectric energy. Sustainability certifications are becoming standard requirements in exports.
5. ALUMEX India 2025 to Spotlight Aluminium Extrusion
The first-ever ALUMEX India 2025 exhibition is scheduled from September 11–13 in New Delhi. The event will bring together over 200 aluminium extrusion companies, buyers, and experts to showcase innovation, sustainability, and collaboration opportunities in India’s extrusion sector.
6. Technological Advancements in Fabrication and Alloys
New 7000 and 6000 series aluminium alloys with better strength-to-weight ratios are entering the market. Automated fabrication with CNC and laser technologies is improving production timelines and precision for windows, doors, and structural applications.
7. Global Trade Updates
The USA, UAE, and Southeast Asian countries are key markets for Indian aluminium. Anti-dumping duties on Chinese aluminium products in Europe and the US are creating export opportunities for Indian manufacturers. Bilateral trade agreements are expected to further boost exports.
8. Aluminium Recycling Gains Ground
India’s aluminium recycling rate is projected to cross 70% by the end of 2025. Secondary aluminium production not only cuts energy use but also aligns with global ESG benchmarks. More recyclers are setting up urban scrap collection and processing centers.
Conclusion
2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the aluminium industry. From technology adoption to global policy alignment, the sector is experiencing robust shifts. Businesses, investors, and professionals must stay informed and agile to leverage these trends. ALUTimes remains committed to being your trusted source for aluminium updates.
