Indonesia Aluminum Market is Expected to Reach USD 4.8 Billion by 2030

The growth of the construction industry coupled with the rising automotive industry is significantly boosting the Indonesia aluminum market growth.

According to a new research report by Next Move Strategy Consulting, the Indonesia Aluminum Market was valued at USD 2.66 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 4.35 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 8.5% from 2025 to 2030.

The growth of Indonesia's construction industry drives the growth of the aluminum market. Significant investments in infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and airports, are increasing the demand for aluminum due to its versatility in construction.

This surge in construction activities is prompting local aluminum producers to expand their production capacities to meet the rising demand. In 2023, the construction industry contributed 9.86% to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product, making it the fifth-largest sector in the national economy, as reported by the Government of Indonesia. This substantial contribution highlights the crucial role of the construction industry in fueling the growth of the aluminum market in Indonesia.

Also, the growth of the automotive industry is significantly boosting the Indonesia aluminum market. Automotive manufacturers are increasingly using aluminum to produce lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles, driving up demand for the metal known for its lightweight and high-strength properties.

In response, local aluminum producers are expanding their production capacities to meet this rising need. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, Indonesia's motor vehicle production increased from 890,000 units in 2021 to 1.18 million units in 2023, enhancing the country's competitiveness in the global market.

However, the environmental concerns are significantly restraining the Indonesia aluminum market expansion by imposing regulatory constraints and increasing production costs. The energy-intensive nature of aluminum production results in substantial greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation.

To mitigate these impacts, the industry must comply with stringent environmental regulations, requiring investments in cleaner technologies and compliance measures, which elevate operational costs. Additionally, heightened environmental awareness among consumers and stakeholders’ pressures companies to adopt sustainable practices, potentially slowing expansion and production activities. These factors collectively hinder the industry's growth and competitiveness in the market.

On the contrary, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in sorting mixed aluminum alloy scrap offers a significant opportunity for Indonesia aluminum market demand. Traditionally, sorting aluminum alloy scrap has been labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring considerable human resources. 

By leveraging AI algorithms and machine learning techniques, Indonesian scrap merchants and smelters can streamline this process. AI systems can quickly and accurately identify different aluminum alloys, separating them based on composition and purity requirements.

This automation will not only reduce the time and labor costs associated with manual sorting but also improve the overall efficiency of aluminum recycling operations. By ensuring that only high-quality aluminum scrap is used for recycling, AI-enabled sorting systems will help produce pure aluminum products that meet the stringent quality standards demanded by various industries.

Furthermore, the adoption of AI in aluminum scrap sorting will enhance the sustainability of Indonesia's aluminum industry by promoting resource efficiency and reducing waste. Maximizing the utilization of recycled aluminum and minimizing impurities in the manufacturing process, AI-driven sorting technologies will contribute to the circular economy and environmental conservation efforts.
