Nowadays, the domestic aluminum profile processing industry is fiercely competitive, and various factors such as overcapacity hinder the development of the industry. However, a new blue ocean has been found in the transportation lightweight market represented by new energy vehicles.
    The use of traditional aluminum profiles in real estate has slowed down, so the aluminum industry is also seeking new profit growth points in the transportation sector. At the 5th International Forum on Aluminum Application Development, the vice president of Chinalco Science and Technology Research Institute Engineers used data to reveal the prospects of the aluminum profile processing industry. "The demand for automotive aluminum panels will grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 25% over the next five years."
    In addition to its extensive use in traditional transportation, new energy vehicles including Tesla also want to wear “lightweight” outerwear; in the face of huge market “cakes”, some domestic aluminum processing equipment companies are also “eager to try”.
    However, many industry insiders said that although the development potential of aluminum “lightweight” is huge, it still faces the high price of aluminum profiles, the lack of standard profile warehouses, the improvement of aluminum profile processing technology, the gap between domestic and international design concepts and the application of materials. Problems such as imperfect integration development.
