Driven by technological innovation and green transformation, the global aluminium machining parts industry is undergoing structural changes. The latest market data shows that the global aluminum forging market will reach 563.118 billion yuan in 2024, and is expected to increase to 808.995 billion yuan by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 6.22%. This growth momentum mainly comes from the explosion of demand in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic industry and high-end equipment manufacturing.
At the level of technological innovation, aluminum processing technology is making breakthroughs in the direction of high precision and lightweight. The iteration of CNC processing technology is particularly significant. The combination of automated programming systems and multi-axis linkage equipment has improved the processing accuracy of complex structural parts to the micron level while increasing production efficiency by more than 30%. For example, the intelligent processing center developed by a certain company optimizes the tool path through an AI algorithm, achieving a material utilization rate of 98% in the production of new energy vehicle battery shells. This technological advancement not only reduces energy consumption but also promotes the expansion of the application of aluminum CNC parts in the aerospace field. For example, a certain project uses 7055 high-strength aluminum alloy to manufacture aircraft landing gear parts, with a weight reduction effect of 15% and a corrosion resistance increase of 5 times.
Sustainable development has become the core strategy of the industry. The large-scale application of recycled aluminum technology is reshaping the industrial landscape. The global scrap aluminum recycling rate has reached 76%, and China's recycled aluminum production is expected to exceed 11.35 million tons in 2025, doubling from 2020. A recycled aluminum project uses the "direct supply of electrolytic aluminum concentrate + recycling of scrap aluminum" model, with energy consumption of only 5% of primary aluminum per ton of machined aluminum parts, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 3.4 tons. This green production model not only meets the requirements of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) but also achieves a win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits through the use of recycled aluminum.
The diversification of application scenarios further activates market potential. In the field of new energy vehicles, the amount of aluminum used per vehicle has reached 200-240 kilograms, and the demand for key components such as power battery housings and body structural parts has surged, driving the market size of related CNC milling aluminum part to increase by more than 30% year-on-year. The photovoltaic industry also performed well. In 2025, global photovoltaic aluminum consumption is expected to reach 6 million tons, of which the demand for distributed photovoltaic brackets will increase by more than 20%, driving the order volume of aluminum profile processing companies to increase by 44% year-on-year. In the emerging field, all-aluminum home furnishings are seizing the market share of traditional panels at an annual growth rate of 35% through "aluminum + wood" composite technology and intelligent integrated design.
In the future, the aluminum processing parts industry will show three major trends: first, the acceleration of technological integration, such as the combination of 3D printing and traditional processing technology, will give birth to more customized and lightweight products; second, regional production capacity will be reconstructed, and the hydropower-rich southwest China and Europe's low-carbon aluminum projects will become new global supply centers; third, the synergy of the industrial chain will be deepened, and the closed-loop system from bauxite mining to recycled aluminum recycling will be further improved, pushing the industry towards "zero-carbon manufacturing".
