2026 National Day Holiday Survey on Aluminum Processing Enterprises' Shutdowns – Aluminum Extrusion [SMM Analysis]

As the 2026 National Day holiday approaches, downstream aluminum extrusion enterprises have begun making holiday arrangements. SMM conducted a survey and statistical analysis of enterprises across various regions and scales, as shown in the table below:

According to the SMM survey, the overall holiday duration for aluminum extrusion enterprises during the 2026 National Day holiday has shortened YoY. In the construction extrusion sector, driven by aluminum prices remaining in a relatively stable range recently, downstream purchase willingness has risen compared with the beginning of the month, and orders have recovered modestly. Coupled with some orders approaching delivery periods, some construction extrusion enterprises have shortened their holidays by 1–3 days to ensure fulfillment. In the industrial extrusion sector, orders on hand before the holiday are ample, and enterprises face concentrated delivery pressure in early October, with most enterprises maintaining normal production during the National Day period. Regarding raw material stockpiling, enterprises still purchase as needed based on orders, with no obvious concentrated stockpiling behavior observed yet.
