Japan Aluminium Market by Product Type (Flat-Rolled, Castings, Extrusions, Forgings, Powder & Paste, Other Types), by Type (Primary and Secondary), by End User Industry (Transport, Consumer Goods, Machinery & Equipment, Construction, Foil and Packaging, Electrical Engineering, Others) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2024–2030

Japan Aluminium Market was valued at USD 8.90 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 13.02 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.9% from 2024 to 2030.

The increasing demand for packaged food sales in Japan is significantly accelerating the aluminium market in the country. Consumer reliance on packaged food products is rising with changing consumer preferences and a busy lifestyle. Aluminium plays a vital role in the packaging industry, offering benefits such as durability, lightness, and the ability to preserve the freshness and quality of food. The growing sales of packaged food items, including canned beverages, ready-to-eat meals, and snacks, increase demand for aluminium packaging materials. According to Euromonitor, retail sales in the packaged food market in Japan were estimated at USD 216.3 billion in 2022. 

For instance, in 2021, Japan inaugurated Scandinavia's biggest wind farm, "Kriegers Flak," which has a total capacity to cover the electricity consumption of approximately 600,000 Danish households. The emphasis on renewable energy sources and Japan's commitment to transitioning to clean energy contribute to the demand for the aluminium market in the wind energy sector.

However, the aluminium industry is affected by environmental regulations and sustainability requirements such as emissions control, waste management, and energy efficiency targets, which can increase operational costs and pose challenges for some producers. Compliance with stringent emissions standards, waste management regulations, and energy consumption targets can require significant investments and efforts to reduce the environmental impact of aluminium production. These sustainability measures aim to minimize emissions, promote responsible waste management, and encourage energy efficiency. While these regulations are essential to promote a greener and more sustainable industry, they can add to the overall costs and complexities of aluminium production.

On the other hand, the increasing emphasis on sustainable packaging is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market in the future. Aluminium is well-suited for applications such as cans, bottles, and foils, benefiting from its recyclability and ability to maintain product quality and freshness. Eco-conscious consumers and brands seeking to minimize their environmental impact prefer aluminium as a preferred choice. By opting for aluminium packaging, they reduce waste and promote sustainability, aligning with their commitment to a greener future. This growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions drives the growth of the aluminium market.
