What is the aluminiummarket break-up, bydownstream product?

How is aluminium demandsplit across all thedifferent transportationsub-sectors and what istheir outlook to 2020?

What are the recenttechnology developments in the industry and their impact on the transportation market?

In this current global economy thetransportation sector plays a pivotal role in thealuminium industry, as it is one of the key end-use sectors. Nearly all modes of transportationon land, air and water make use of aluminiumand its alloys.

Many multinationals are becoming everconscious of fluctuating fuel costs and as aresult are exploring light weight options,resulting in achieving greater fuel savings andincreased payload carrying capacity.

Aluminium semi-finished products, such as flatrolled sheet products, extrusions and castingsare increasingly being employed inconstructing vehicles and transportationsystems. While employing aluminium in placeof steel and other metals requires initialinvestment it can lead to significant costsavings in the medium to long-term.

Over the last few years aluminium hasincreasingly been used in passenger cars,commercial vehicles and motorcycles as thedemand for fuel efficient vehicles has grownand the benefits of employing aluminium toachieve this is recognised. However, gettingreliable and accurate consumption data byend-user, from independent third partysources to help plan future company strategyhas never been easy. Until now.

Available for the first time, Metal BulletinResearch (MBR) have published acomprehensive study, The Global Outlookfor Aluminium in Transportation, whichanalyses the current market and providesdemand forecasts out to 2020 for aluminiumin the transportation sector across key end-use sectors and geographical regions. Thisstudy is essential reading for industryprofessionals seeking to exploit opportunitiesin new markets.

Analysis of several key end-use sectors and theirusage patterns is providedincluding passenger cars,commercial vehicles, railways, motorcycles,aerospace and shipbuilding.

The employment of aluminium intransportation is projected to increase in thecoming years. Which countries is thisgrowth in demand likely to stem from andin what form will this take? How can youand your company best benefit in targetingthis end-user sector?

A discussion of significant demand drivers inthe industry and the impact of recenttechnology developments are further detailed.

This study offers expert analysis, forecasting and independent guidance including:

• Forecast aluminium in transportation demand across the world with analysis of growth trends and key drivers;

• Usage pattern of aluminium in transportation across end-use sectors and geographic regions;

• Detailed discussion on the recent technology developments;

• Advantages of producing aluminium by region as well as the challenges faced by the producers;

• Aiding the purchasing team of aluminium downstream companies to plan sourcing of raw materials;

• Information on the industry that aids in providing policy directions to your company’s operations in the coming decade;

• The ability to identify the material flow in the industry and identify the key markets;

• The identification of business opportunities across end-use sector and across geographic regions.
