South Korea Aluminium Market Growth
Growing demand for aluminium from the automotive and construction sectors is one of the major factors boosting the market growth. Due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium offers great fuel efficiency to vehicles as less force is required to run the vehicle. It is also widely used in aeroplanes and space shuttles due to its superior strength, lightweight and increased flexibility. Moreover, the high thermal efficiency of aluminium makes it a preferable option for keeping buildings warm in winter and cool in summer and its ability to be welded into any desired shape further gives it preference over steel or wood for the construction of innovative buildings.
Several market players are establishing partnerships to transition towards a green economy in the aluminium sector. For instance, TAHA International announced that it has signed an agreement with Hwarim Tech in South Korea for the extraction and treatment of aluminium metal in an eco-friendly and energy-efficient manner which can foster sustainability in the aluminium sector.
