Aluminum Foil Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Packaging {Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Others}Insulation,Technical, Others)and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Aluminum foil is a thin film made up of an aluminum alloy containing 92% to 99% aluminum. Usually, the thickness of the foil is between 6 µm to 0.2 mm. The foil is formed in many specifications for about hundreds of applications, including thermal insulation, fin stock, capacitors and packaging products. The popularity of aluminum foil is due to several advantages, easy availability of raw material, long durability, and non-toxic nature. In addition, aluminum foil resists chemical attack and provides excellent electrical and magnetic shielding. Aluminum foil is manufactured using aluminum obtained from the Bayer refining process, which is smelted and then rolled into thin films of foil. For many applications, this foil is used in combination with other materials. It is often coated with materials such as resins and polymers for decorative, protective and thermal sealing purposes. The wide range of applications of aluminum along with its shielding properties is the key reason behind the popularity of aluminum foil in the global market.

With emphasis growing on keeping products safe, especially food products, the demand for packaging products has grown quite considerably in the recent past. It is predicted that with the advent of flexible packaging products made from aluminum foil, the demand for aluminum foil is going to multiply during the forecast period, providing a strong push to the market.

However, aluminum, being a metal is not very easy to dispose of, and thus, the products manufactured from aluminum, including aluminum foil have to undergo either reuse or recycle, rather than being disposed of. This factor limits the adoption of aluminum foil in various industries where sticky materials are formed.

Market Segmentation:

Based on application, the aluminum foil market is segmented into packaging, insulation, technical, and others. Packaging segment is further divided into food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and others.

From a geographical standpoint, the market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Aluminum Foil Industry Developments

• In July 2018, Novelis Inc., acquired Aleris Corporation for US$ 2.6 billion in a bid to improve its product portfolio and integrate assets to better serve the Asian markets.


• In June 2018, Laminazione Sottile installed a new longitudinal slitting line which eases the supply of aluminium strips of minimum width of 16 mm and thickness of 50-450 mm. The machine also reduces the turnaround time for the customers, while also decreasing the waste produced.
