Dublin, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Automotive Aluminum Market Report by Product Form, Vehicle Type, Application, and Region 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global automotive aluminum market size reached USD 32.6 billion in 2024. Looking forward, the market is forecast to reach USD 61.3 billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% during 2025-2033. The increasing need for lightweight luxury vehicles, rising awareness about climate change, and the growing number of partnerships between OEMs and aluminum suppliers are some of the major factors propelling the market.



The increasing need for lightweight luxury vehicles due to rapid urbanization and inflating income levels is strengthening the growth of the market around the world. Moreover, the rising awareness about climate change is propelling manufacturers to opt for sustainable materials like aluminum for vehicles. In addition, the growing number of partnerships between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aluminum suppliers is influencing the market positively.

Apart from this, measures undertaken by governing authorities of numerous countries to promote the production of vehicles that minimize the emission of greenhouse gases are favoring the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of secondary or recycled aluminum in the manufacturing of vehicles for improved safety and reduced carbon emissions is propelling the growth of the market.

According to the report, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share. The increasing sales of electric vehicles (EVs) represents one of the primary factors bolstering the market growth in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, the rising presence of multiple aluminum production facilities is contributing to the market growth in the region. Besides this, the growing number of research and development (R&D) activities is influencing the market positively in the region. North America is estimated to witness stable growth, owing to well established manufacturing facilities, government measures, technological advancements, etc.

Competitive Landscape

The leading companies are developing high-strength aluminum alloys that offer improved tensile strength and fatigue life, which makes them ideal for critical structural components and allow manufacturers to create thinner, lighter parts without sacrificing safety or durability. They are also using computer-aided design (CAD) technologies to design automotive aluminum parts. This also allows engineers to optimize the properties of the material for specific applications, which results in components that are both lighter and more durable.

Moreover, key players are integrating aluminum with other materials like carbon fiber composites or high-strength steel that can offer the lightweight attributes of aluminum and the strength of other materials. This is particularly useful in creating components that need to be both light and extremely durable, such as in electric vehicles, wherein weight impacts battery life.
