In China's aluminum processing industry, the aluminum foil
industry continues to develop at a high speed, and the industry as a whole has
entered a stage of parallel development with advanced countries. It has large
production capacity, complete varieties, optimal processes, and obvious cost
advantages, particularly in the steady growth of aluminum foil production and
domestic consumption, global leading technology and equipment, and strong
product competitiveness. With the rapid development of China's economy and
aluminum processing industry, packaging aluminum foil has become one of the
most important consumption growth points in the aluminum foil market.
Aluminum foil is a type of aluminum rolling
material. Aluminum foil is mainly designed for thickness, and aluminum products
with a thickness less than 0.2mm are usually referred to as aluminum foil in
the industry. The edges are usually longitudinally cut and delivered in rolls.
Aluminum foil is a soft metal film that not only has the advantages of moisture
resistance, airtightness, shading, wear resistance, fragrance retention,
non-toxic and odorless properties, but also has an elegant silver white luster,
making it easy to process beautiful patterns and patterns of various colors.
According to thickness, aluminum foil can be
divided into double zero foil, single zero foil, and thick foil. Generally
speaking, double zero foil is mainly used for food packaging, cigarette
packaging, electronic optical foil, etc; Single zero foil is used for some food
packaging, drug packaging, electronic circuit signal shielding, air
conditioning foil, etc; Thick foil is mainly used for air conditioning foil,
container foil, building decoration, and industrial purposes.
Aluminum foil has a wide range of downstream
applications, mainly used in industries such as green packaging, household
appliances, electronic communication, transportation, printing, chemical
engineering, building materials, decoration, etc. According to the statistics
of the China Nonferrous Metal Processing Industry Association, packaging and
container foils account for the largest proportion, accounting for 52% of all
aluminum foils, followed by air conditioning foils, accounting for 22%.
The aluminum foil processing process is the
aluminum product with the most processing steps, the smallest thickness, and
the greatest difficulty in the aluminum processing industry. There are
currently two commonly used processing routes in the industry: (1) ingot hot
rolling method; (2) Double roll casting and rolling method.
In 2021, the comprehensive production of aluminum
processing materials in China reached 44.7 million tons, a year-on-year
increase of 6.2%. Since 2019, the growth rate of aluminum production has
rebounded from the bottom. With the global economic recovery after the epidemic
and the obstruction of overseas production, China's aluminum production has
significantly warmed up, with a year-on-year growth of 5.0% in 2020 and 6.2% in
2021. The aluminum production is synchronized with the business cycle.
According to the "2023-2028 China Aluminum
Foil Industry Supply and Demand Analysis and Development Prospects Research
Report" by China Research Institute of Industry
The annual composite growth rate of aluminum foil
since 2012 has reached 6.8%, far higher than the industry average growth rate;
Battery aluminum foil is a subdivision of foil products with explosive demand
growth. In 2021, China's aluminum foil production totaled 4.55 million tons,
compared to only 2.52 million tons in 2012, with an average compound annual
growth rate of 6.8%, far higher than the average growth rate of the aluminum
rolling industry. Battery aluminum foil accounts for a relatively small
proportion of the overall aluminum foil production, only about 3%. However, in
2021, the production was 140000 tons, and in 2020, it was only 70000 tons, with
a year-on-year growth of 100%. It is a subdivision of the foil product with
explosive demand growth.
The aluminum rolling industry belongs to the
traditional manufacturing industry, and its downstream demand is widely
distributed in industries such as construction, home appliances, automobiles,
daily consumption, electronics, and electricity. After the COVID-19 at the
beginning of 2020, the global economy recovered rapidly, but at the same time,
foreign manufacturing production did not fully recover. In 2021, China's export
led the economy significantly. This has brought about an upward trend in the
prosperity of the aluminum rolling plate in the past two years, which has
continued to this day.
