About this industry
Industry definition
Aluminium erfreut sich in einer Vielzahl von Industriezweigen großer Beliebtheit. Vor allem die Automobilindustrie setzt zunehmend auf diesen Werkstoff, um leichtere Fahrzeuge zu bauen. Daneben kommt Aluminium auch in der Luftfahrtindustrie, beim Schiffbau und im Bauwesen zum Einsatz. Die Branchenakteure sind bei der Erzeugung von Aluminium auf den Import des Rohstoffs Bauxit angewiesen, denn Deutschland verfügt über keine eigenen Bauxitvorkommen. Aus diesem Grund ist die Branchenentwicklung außer vom Aluminiumpreis selbst auch stark vom Bauxitpreis abhängig. Der Branchenumsatz ist in den letzten fünf Jahren um durchschnittlich 0,2 % pro Jahr auf 16,6 Milliarden Euro gesunken, was auf eine Reihe von Faktoren zurückzuführen ist, darunter handelspolitische Spannungen, ein starker internationaler Wettbewerb und die negativen Auswirkungen der Coronavirus-Pandemie.<BR />2024 wird der Branchenumsatz voraussichtlich um 2,9 % zurückgehen, was vor allem auf den hohen Leitzins der Europäischen Zentralbank zurückzuführen ist, der die Nachfrage nach Aluminium im Bausektor dämpft. Die deutschen Aluminiumproduzenten agieren in einem Markt, der durch hohen internationalen Wettbewerb und zunehmende regulatorische Anforderungen gekennzeichnet ist. Um die regulatorischen Anforderungen zu erfüllen und wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben, ergreifen die Branchenakteure eine Vielzahl von Maßnahmen. Durch die Übernahme von anderen Aluminiumproduzenten, welche die gleichen oder andere Branchenprodukte herstellen, können die Branchenunternehmen ihren Kundenstamm erweitern und von Skaleneffekten und Cross-Selling profitieren. Um ihre Produktionskosten zu senken, investieren die Branchenakteure zudem zunehmend in energiesparende Maschinen und Anlagen sowie in digitale Technologien.<BR />Nach IBISWorld Prognosen wird der Branchenumsatz in den kommenden fünf Jahren um durchschnittlich 0,3 % pro Jahr zurückgehen und sich somit 2029 auf 16,3 Milliarden Euro belaufen. Die Branche wird in den kommenden Jahren voraussichtlich vom Trend zur Leichtbauweise in der Automobil- und Luftfahrtindustrie profitieren. Darüber hinaus werden die deutschen Aluminiumhersteller auch in den kommenden Jahren neue Legierungen entwickeln, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse der Kunden aus unterschiedlichen Industrien zugeschnitten sind. Zudem dürften die Branchenakteure ihre Produkte zunehmend aus recyceltem Aluminium anstelle von Bauxit herstellen. Dies soll dazu beitragen, die Abhängigkeit von ausländischen Bauxitlieferanten zu verringern und den Energiebedarf zu senken.
