Development of China¡¯s aluminum profile industry and existing problems

Entering the year 2010, China enterprises continue to recover and gradually break away from economic crisis effect. With the continuous healthy development of national economy, the demand on aluminum profiles is enlarged and equipment as well as technology is more and more advanced. It is undoubtedly there is large room for the development of  aluminum profile products.

In 2009, about 95 countries globally could produce aluminum profile, and more than 2200 manufacturers. Among which China’s productive capacity accounted for over 50% of global total productivity and China ranked 1st. In 2009, the output of our industrial aluminum profile and construction aluminium profile respectively reach 2,330,000 tons and 4,960,000 tons. In 2010, the sales volume of our aluminum profile will exceed 10,000,000 tons, among which industrial aluminum profile is hopeful to exceed 6,000,000 tons, while in 2012, it is expected that the sales volume of China’s aluminum profile will reach 14,400,000 tons.

Talking about applications, construction industry is still the main application field for aluminium profile, which is significantly superior to other fields. The sales volume will grow year by year. But with the improvement of China’s industrial level and scale, industrial profile output will also rise year by year. Autos, trail transportation, electricity, machinery manufacturing, home appliances and other industries increase the demand on aluminum profile.  Meanwhile, the demand on new aluminum profile with new applications also rises, which promote technological progress and industrial sustainable and healthy development.

Since the opening-up and reform, China’s aluminum profile industry experienced 30 years’ development, and now China has been the largest aluminium profile manufacturer over the whole world.

But we can’t neglect that behind the prospect, the crisis is taking shape gradually. The most prominent problem is that the labor cost is increased and enterprise competitiveness is decreased. Productive capacity is enlarged out of order. Supply exceeds demand. Profit of the whole industry is just a little. Self R&D ability of enterprises is weak , management concept is not right and product types lack of systematization.

Reorganization and integration become the popular trend

At present, the number of domestic aluminum alloy profile factories has slumped to more than 680 from the peak period over 1200. Some small aluminum profile factories have been eliminated, as they characterized backward technology, low quality and low grade. In the future, industrial reorganization and integration will be the main trend.
