The strong global demand for aluminium led by the transport sector over the last year reflects the increasing importance of the overall demand for aluminium, reports Qatalum, the organizer of Arab International Aluminium Conference (ARABAL 2012), which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Doha.
This demand arrived during increasing change and development in the transport sector, particularly in the automobile, bus, aircraft and ship manufacturing sectors which are increasingly dependent on the use of aluminium qualities in comparison to other necessary metals used in transport industry.
Aluminium is a lightweight metal, which enables a decrease in fuel consumption and emissions. Many industries are continuing the trend of replacing traditional metals with aluminium.
ARABAL will see a concentrated focus on the transport industry this year, as indicators have shown an increasing demand for industrial outputs in the transport sector in North America, particularly the USA. The overall consumption is expected to reach 3.6 million tonnes of semi-manufactured aluminium by 2016, according to recent forecasts, a significant increase over the 2.5 million tonnes reported in 2011. This means that an annual average growth rate of 7.4% is expected in the period from 2012 until 2016. The year 2013 is expected to record the highest growth rate for the transport sector.
It is become evident that the aluminium industry is slowly ramping up to satisfy demand from the transport sector. Many aluminium producers in the USA and Europe have undergone expansions, while many automobile manufacturers have announced ambitious plans to increase the use of aluminium in their new models.
The aerospace industry is set to sign more long term deals for the supply of plates and chips and other aluminium related materials. Leading aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing have reported a significant growth in demand for aluminium. In 2012, as a result of to the increased use of blended wing designs from aluminium which reduce the weight of the aircraft by 33%, in addition to the other uses in aircraft manufacturing from plates and chips which will double in the near future.
The 16th Arab International Aluminium Conference (ARABAL 2012) will be held at the Grand Hyatt Doha from the 20th - 22nd November 2012. ARABAL is the premier trade event for the Middle East's aluminium industry and the only conference in the world attended by every single primary aluminium manufacturer in the region.
