Brazil Aluminium Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Brazil Aluminium Market Size

The Brazil aluminium market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2025 and 2034, aided by the increasing applications of aluminium across various sectors.

Brazil Aluminium Market Outlook

• Brazil recycles 97% of its aluminium due to the presence of stringent environmental laws.

• Over 80% of Brazil’s aluminium ores are extracted from Serra do Oriximina, Para.

• In 2021, Brazil exported USD 2.9 billion worth of bauxite and aluminium.

Brazil Aluminium Market Growth

The First Mover’s Coalition (FMC) in the country aims to use advanced technologies such as inert anodes, green hydrogen, mechanical vapour compression, and carbon capture, storage, and utilisation for manufacturing low-carbon aluminium. By 2030, it is expected to account for 10% of overall aluminium production. FMC also aims to minimise reliance on bauxite for aluminium production by 50% by 2030 and instead use recycled aluminium for production.

In 2021, Brazil’s aluminium industry accounted for 6.8% of its industrial GDP. Brazil is the 12th largest producer of primary aluminium globally. It has significant reserves of bauxite and is the third largest producer of alumina globally, refining nearly 11Mtpa of aluminium annually. This accounted for 8% of the total production in 2022 globally.

The demand for high-value metals is expected to surge by 40% globally. In Brazil, the demand for aluminium products registered an annual growth rate of 3.4% during 2018-2024, which was higher than the global average. As per the Brazilian Aluminium Association, the growth of the transportation and packaging industry is primarily responsible for this growth.

Brazil’s recovery rate of aluminium is amongst the highest in the world. In 2022, Brazil recovered nearly 59.3% of aluminium scrap, which was substantially higher than the global average of 28.8%. The commitment of aluminium manufacturers to invest in recycling capabilities resulted in 100% recycling of aluminium cans in 2022. These trends are expected to favour market growth in the forecast period.
