Leading business intelligence provider on global metal markets, CRU shared in its latest market insight that aluminium demand from electric vehicles will increase 10-fold from 2017 growing up to 10 million tonnes by 2030.
The usage of aluminium automotive body part components made of extrusions and rolled products will be higher in comparison with the present day vehicles with internal combustion engines.

On the contrary, secondary aluminium castings used in today’s vehicle parts will witness a gradual decline as more than 90 per cent of the vehicles on road will be battery powered. EVs will specifically boost primary aluminium demand while imposing a limit on aluminium scrap demand, CRU noted.
As per forecast global battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) sales will increase to 42 million units by 2030. From the current 4 per cent market share, EVs will go on to account for approximately 30 per cent of the global market by 2030.
