The global 7075-T6 Aluminium market was valued at USD 11.1 billion in 2024, and it is expected to rise at an 6.76% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. The rapid growth of the aerospace and defence sectors, where the alloy’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is critical for aircraft structures, military equipment, and UAVs. Increasing emphasis on lightweight materials to improve fuel efficiency and performance further supports its adoption over traditional metals. Rising defence modernization programs and military spending are boosting demand for high-strength, fatigue-resistant materials.

The sheets and plates segment is the dominant form in the 7075-T6 aluminium market. This dominance is mainly due to its widespread use in aerospace, defence, and automotive applications, where high strength, lightweight properties, and excellent fatigue resistance are critical. Sheets and plates are extensively used in aircraft wings, fuselage structures, armoured vehicles, and other load-bearing components, making them essential for safety-critical and high-performance designs. The segment’s large market valuation reflects steady and high-volume demand from the aerospace industry, which prioritizes weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency, payload capacity, and operational performance. Additionally, ease of fabrication, compatibility with advanced machining and forming processes, and continuous innovation in aluminium processing further reinforce the dominance and strong growth outlook of the sheets and plates segment.

The aerospace and defence segment represents the leading application area for 7075 aluminium, driven by the alloy’s proven ability to meet stringent performance, strength, and safety standards. Its long-standing use in aircraft structures, military vehicles, and defence equipment underlines its reliability in high-stress and critical applications. Beyond this segment, demand is steadily increasing in the automotive and transportation industries, as manufacturers seek lightweight yet high-strength materials to enhance vehicle efficiency, performance, and structural integrity, particularly in electric and high-performance vehicles. The sports and recreation sector is also adopting 7075 aluminium for equipment that requires exceptional strength at minimal weight, such as bicycles, climbing gear, and sporting goods. Additionally, gradual uptake across industrial, marine, and electronics applications highlights the alloy’s versatility and expanding role across multiple end-use industries.

The Asia-Pacific region dominates the 7075-T6 aluminium market due to its strong manufacturing base and rapid growth of key end-use industries. The region hosts major aerospace, defence, automotive, and electronics manufacturing hubs, particularly in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. High aircraft production, expanding defence modernization programs, and increasing adoption of lightweight materials in transportation support sustained demand. In addition, the presence of large-scale aluminium producers, cost-efficient manufacturing facilities, and well-established supply chains enhances regional competitiveness. Rising investments in electric vehicles, industrial infrastructure, and sports equipment manufacturing further strengthen Asia-Pacific’s leadership, making it the dominant region in the 7075-T6 aluminium market.

The global 7075-T6 aluminium market is highly competitive, led by key players such as Alcoa Corporation, Kaiser Aluminium, Novelis Inc. (Hindalco Industries), Constellium N.V., and Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA). These companies compete through continuous investment in research and development to enhance alloy performance, strength, and quality. Operational efficiency remains a priority, with manufacturers adopting advanced processing technologies, automation, and digitalization to meet rising demand from aerospace, automotive, and defence industries. Strategic initiatives including mergers, acquisitions, capacity expansions, and geographic diversification strengthen market presence. Additionally, expanding into Asia-Pacific and aligning with lightweighting and high-performance material trends enable companies to sustain long-term competitiveness.

• In October 2024, Gränges finalized the acquisition of a cost-efficient casting and hot-rolling facility in Shandong province, in line with the agreement signed on May 31, 2024. Through this transaction, Gränges secures access to scalable downstream operations and a reliable supply of low-carbon aluminium. In exchange, SIG receives a 20% ownership stake in Gränges’ Chinese subsidiary. This acquisition and strengthened partnership support Gränges’ continued expansion in the Asian market.

• In August 2024, Alcoa Corporation announced the successful acquisition of Alumina Limited (“Alumina”). This acquisition strengthens Alcoa’s position by further consolidating its role as a leading pure-play aluminium producer with a strong focus on upstream operations.

• In April 2020, Novelis Inc., the world leader in aluminium rolling and recycling, announced the completion of its acquisition of Aleris Corporation, a global supplier of rolled aluminium products. As a result, Novelis is now even better positioned to meet increasing customer demand for aluminium by expanding its innovative product portfolio; creating a more skilled and diverse workforce; and deepening its commitment to safety, sustainability, quality and partnership
