Report Highlights
The aluminum market is characterized by huge demand and supply gap with respect to both primary and secondary aluminum. Market demand is regulated largely by the need for aluminum by the various industry sectors particularly transport and packaging sector.
The US aluminum industry relies heavily on imports to meet its demand. With the incessant rise in imports, the country is becoming more and more dependent. Aluminum is chiefly imported from a number of countries such as china, Australia etc where the cost of production is relatively less. This makes imported aluminum cost effective, thereby posing a significant challenge for the domestic producers.
Energy and labor are two of the major costs for companies in the aluminum industry. Each of these represents a share of about 33% of the total cost of smelting production in the US. Kentucky is one of the most attractive regions with favorable labor and energy costs, along with low state & local taxes. The overall cost of doing business in Kentucky is 15% below the US average.
