Innovation and the Aluminium Industry 2025 The aluminium sector is growing due to the needs of the automotive, construction, and energy industries, while the aluminium recycling sector is also expected to continue growing at a rapid rate year-on-year. However, there is also growth in innovative new areas as aluminium transitions from being a basic, lightweight structural material to one that is helping reshape the very nature of manufacturing, industry and the world around us.
Current innovations include the use of aluminium in additive manufacturing (which could create a surge in demand for aluminium powders), aluminium-based coatings and composites, and the increased use of aluminium in electric vehicle structures and battery housings.
These innovations offer areas for growth for the aluminium industry and supply chain, while providing potential solutions for industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to rail, power and the space sector.
