Trends in China's aluminum foil industry in 2025: New energy drive and green transformation accelerated

 

 

1. Explosion of new energy demand In 2024, the consumption of power battery aluminum foil exceeded 280,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 35%. It is expected that a million-ton market will be formed in 2030.

 

2. Regional competition pattern The Yangtze River Delta region contributes 43% of the country's aluminum foil production, and the Pearl River Delta accounts for 22%. Yunnan, Inner Mongolia and other regions have reduced the transportation cost of raw materials by 19% through the "direct supply of aluminum liquid" model

 

3. Ultra-thin breakthrough The tensile strength of domestic 0.0045mm power battery aluminum foil reaches 280MPa, replacing imported products and pushing the localization rate to 65%.

 

4. Green manufacturing upgrade The proportion of natural gas use in the industry has increased from 45% in 2020 to 68%. The "Carbon Peak Implementation Plan for the Nonferrous Metals Industry" requires an 8% reduction in unit product energy consumption by 2025.

 

5. Layout of high value-added products: The gross profit margin of medical sterile aluminum foil and aerospace composite foil is 35%-42%, significantly higher than traditional products.
