Electric vehicle sales are projected to surge to 35.4 million annually by 2030, driving a significant increase in demand for aluminium. Industry forecasts indicate North American aluminium consumption will climb by 38% to support growing EV production, while China’s usage is expected to rise even more sharply by 79%. The metal’s lightweight properties and recyclability make it a critical component in battery and vehicle frame manufacturing. This shift could reshape global supply chains and sustainability efforts in the automotive sector.
