Bauxite Industry Overview

The global bauxite market size was valued at USD 15.59 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.7% from 2022 to 2030.

The favorable government policies for electric vehicles (EV) and rising investment in the production of lightweight vehicles are anticipated to propel the demand for aluminum. This trend is likely to prove fruitful for the growth of the bauxite industry in the forecast period. For instance, in February 2022, Volvo Cars decided to invest in aluminum mega casting in its Torslanda manufacturing plant, Sweden. The investment is worth USD 1.1 billion and the mega casting makes the production process less complex and it reduces the overall environmental footprint.

The U.S. holds the largest share of the North American bauxite market. The growth in aluminum and cement production is expected to benefit market growth. According to the Aluminum Association, in the U.S., the amount of aluminum is expected to grow to 514 pounds (lbs) per vehicle by 2026 as it is the most used material by automakers.

Rising demand for aluminum flat-rolled products in automotive industries is making its manufacturers increase their production capacity, thereby fueling the demand for bauxite. For instance, in October 2021, Novelis Inc., a leading aluminum flat-rolled products manufacturer announced its plan to invest USD 30 million in its plant in Oswego.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the production of cement increased to 92 million tons in 2021 from 89 million tons in 2020. Thus, rising demand for aluminum in various industries and increasing production of cement are projected to boost the bauxite market growth across the forecast period.

Magnesium alloy and carbon fiber are the primary substitutes for aluminum in the automotive sector. Magnesium alloys offer better machinability along with dent resistance, which favors their demand. Furthermore, they also shield from damped vibrations and electromagnetic radiations. These advantages are anticipated to negatively impact market growth over the forecast period.
