Japan's aluminium industry, in 2015, had stepped up efforts to have the light metal used more in infrastructure, taking advantage of new design standards to boost the then stagnant demand in the domestic market. Ever since then, the consumption of aluminium in building and construction sector of the country has risen steadily. The downstream manufacturing of aluminium structures within the country has also increased. Japan, after catering to the domestic industry demand, exports surplus aluminium structures to the international market.
