New Study by Ducker Carlisle Anticipates 9% Demand Increase in Aluminum Use from 2022 to 2027

A new survey conducted by Ducker Carlisle concludes that aluminum use in the building and construction market will likely increase around 9% by 2027 over 2022 volumes. The report, "Building the Future: Trend of Aluminum Use in the U.S. Construction Market," released today by the Aluminum Association indicates an annual shipment increase of more than 200 million pounds by 2027. The report found that increased use in commercial buildings as well as in clean energy applications like solar installations will drive much of the growth in the coming years. Federal infrastructure spending, including emissions reductions programs supported by the Inflation Reduction Act, should also increase aluminum's use in building.
