Aluminum Foil Market

Aluminum Foil Market Strategic Outlook

Aluminum foil is extracted from Bauxite which is refined to make a pure aluminum oxide called alumina. Alumina is charged with an electrical current known as electronic reduction process. The metal which is extracted from this process is than added to a wide variety of alloys allowing them to provide specific attributes suited for a variety of applications. The alloy mixture is melted and poured onto a cast and rolled frequently until the desired thickness is reached. The key driving factors in reaching the desired thickness is roll pressure, mil speed, and rolling oils.  

Standard duty Aluminum foil is most common used food service foil, serving as high quality All-purpose solution. These foils are great for wrapping lighter items and covering containers for storage. Heavy duty Aluminum foil is great for moderate heat used in cooking situations for lining pans and cooking sheets. Whereas, extra heavy duty Aluminum foil is ideal for only high heat situations in direct contact with flames (lining grills).  

Aluminum foil is used for packaging because it is highly malleable it can be easily converted to thin sheets and folded, rolled or packed. Aluminum is widely used for radiation shield, heat conductions and cable liners. Aluminum is also used for cooking (barbecuing) delicate foods, such as mushrooms and vegetables. Due to the increase demand for the microwave oven the consumption for foil as a microwave container is increasing. Rise in demand is primarily due to microwaves electromagnetic fields generating high potentials particularly at sharp points of the foil sheet and electric currents in the foil. Other uses are for art and decoration where Aluminum foil creates an oxide layer on the surface of Aluminum that accepts colored dyes on metallic salts.  

China holds the largest share of the global Aluminum market which may be ascribed to the ability of Chinese manufacturer to produce at a lower cost than other international rivals (competitors) to capture market share. Other developing regions like India has a higher cost of this Aluminum foil as compared to other areas owing to have higher price of raw material and higher excise duty value. The developing nations having vast populations and untapped market condition provide an unparalleled growth prospects for the companies. Key industry participants includes Alufoil Products Co., Contital, Alcoa, Norsk Hydro, Novelis, Noranda Aluminum, Catty Corporation, Aluminum Foil Converters, Hindalco Industries Ltd., Loften Foil Co. and United Co. Rusal.
