The global aluminum plates and sheet coils market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.52% during 2016-2020. This is attributable to the growing demand from building and construction, food and beverages, and automobiles and transportation segments. Aluminum plates and sheet coils can be used to build lighter yet stronger cars. The metal guarantees an optimum combination of weight, strength,efficiency, and performance with lower fuel consumption, easy recycling at the end of a vehicle's life, and less emission of toxic gases during processing.The food and beverages segment is the largest consumer in the market. The segment accounted for a share of 36.97% in the global market in 2015. Sheet coils are significantly used in packaging of food and beverages as they extend the shelf life of these products.The market in Asia-Pacific (APAC) is the fastest growing (CAGR: 4.3%) and the largest (44.34%) globally. China is the major producer and consumer of aluminum.The market is driven by an increase in construction activities. The construction market in APAC grew at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2010-2015. The expenditure on construction has peaked in the main emerging markets, and investments in infrastructure development in advanced economies such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia increased by over 2% on average, thereby driving the market growth.
