en.Wedoany.com Reported - On March 24, the Japan Aluminum Survey released a forecast predicting that total demand for aluminum products in fiscal year 2026 will increase by 1.4% compared to the previous year, reaching 3.6508 million tons. This forecast was jointly made by seven industry groups, including the Aluminum Can Recycling Association and the Light Metal Products Association. Growth is primarily driven by increased use of castings and die-castings in areas such as powertrains, boosting overall aluminum product demand steadily.

Among aluminum product demand, castings account for a significant proportion, especially under the trend of automotive lightweighting, where castings are widely used in components such as engines and transmissions. Demand for aluminum alloy window frames and curtain walls in the construction sector also drives aluminum product consumption. Additionally, the wire and cable industry has increased its reliance on aluminum products in infrastructure upgrades.

Despite global economic fluctuations, the resilience of Japan's manufacturing sector provides support for aluminum product demand. As a key material, castings will continue to expand their applications in automobiles and industrial machinery, and aluminum product demand is expected to maintain moderate growth in the coming years.
