In recent years, with large scale infrastructure investment and rapid advancing of industrialized process in China, output and consumption of the entire aluminum profile industry grows rapidly and China rises to the largest production base and consumption market of aluminum profile worldwide. After about 10 year of high-speed growth, Chinese aluminum profile industry steps in a new development stage and industrial aluminum profile shows numerous new development trends.

　　Attractive application prospect of industrial aluminum profile

　　For global aluminum profile production and sales, according to the production capacity distribution, there are about 95 countries and regions able to produce aluminum profile and about 2,200 manufacturers worldwide in 2009. And Chinese production capacity accounts for over 50% of the total production capacity worldwide, ranking first.

　　With growth of global economy and constant expansion of aluminum profile application, consumption of global aluminum profile grows from 8.69 million tons in 2001 to about 15.5 million tons in 2009, and annual compound growth rate is about 7.5%. It is anticipated consumption of global aluminum profile will be up to about 16.69 million tons worldwide in 2012.

　　According to the regions, consumption in main regions worldwide shows different trends from 2001 to 2009. Consumption proportion of industrial aluminum profile rises rapidly in China but declines in Europe and North America. As off 2009, its consumption in China accounts for 47% of global consumption and that in Europe, North America and Japan only accounts for 21%, 8% and 6% respectively. China has developed to a large aluminum profile consumption country.

　　In the industrial field, currently, Chinese industrial aluminum profile that accounts for about 30% of total aluminum profile application is mainly applied to traffic (including automobile manufacture and rail transit industries), equipment and machine manufacture and durable consumer goods industries (including light industry), accounting for about 10%, 10% and 12% respectively in Chinese aluminum profile application. In European, North American and Japanese aluminum profile consumption structures in the same period, the industrial consumption proportion is up to 60%, 55% and 40% respectively, far higher than that in China. The difference of consumption structure reflects deficiency in terms of production, development and application of Chinese aluminum profile in the industrial field. Meanwhile, it also indicates a huge growth space in Chinese industrial aluminum profile consumption.

　　It is anticipated consumption of Chinese industrial aluminum profile will grow continuously in the future 5 to 10 years. The proportion in aluminum profile products will rise from about 30% currently to about 45 to 50% in 2015. According to relevant planning of Chinese government, the proportion of industrial aluminum to total aluminum profile application will be close to 70% in the future 10 years.

　　More importantly, developing industrial aluminum profile can win abundant economic earnings and social values for enterprises. Currently, production and sales costs of construction profiles are relatively transparent and additional value of products are not high; however, industrial profile can improve at least 20% to 30% profit space for enterprises. Besides, low carbon and environmental protection in production conform to the national mission of energy saving and emission reduction and light development of the aluminum profile industry.
