Aluminum application: the growth rate of aluminum template market slows down

The prospect of China aluminum formwork industry in 2022 and the research report in 2021 released by China Mold Base Association show that due to the double squeeze of insufficient demand and rising costs, the demand market for aluminum formwork has gradually bid farewell to the past development model of high expansion, high leverage, building factories first and then competing for the market. Rational wait-and-see, maintaining scale and fine management are the mainstream characteristics of the current aluminum template industry.

By the end of 2021, the number of aluminum alloy templates in the national market is about 79.5 million tons (including non-standard templates), which is offset by increase and decrease, and the peak value falls for the first time. According to the statistics of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, the national output of building formwork profiles in 2021 was 550000 tons, an increase of-52%. Converted to aluminum template refurbishment replacement + added about 20.8 million square meters. There are more than 860 aluminum alloy formwork equipment processing, R & D and design, production and processing, and leasing contracting enterprises in China. Generally speaking, with the superposition of multiple pressures and the adjustment of large-scale enterprises, the market scale of aluminum formwork has fluctuated, breaking the trend that the scale of aluminum formwork is only increasing but not decreasing, and also breaking the pattern of "only entering but not leaving" aluminum formwork enterprises. The new market not only reflects the situation of fierce competition, but also pushes the industry to a higher level of sustainable and healthy development.

The proposal of the two sessions of China Formwork and scaffolding Association to include "aluminum formwork for waste buildings" in the "preferential catalogue of value-added tax for products and services for comprehensive utilization of resources" has received a positive response from the Ministry of Finance. In January 2022, aluminum formwork was used as an additional item in the evaluation standard of backbone construction enterprises in Shanxi Province. In January 2022, Hunan aluminum formwork "High Precision Formwork Construction Design Standard" made progress. Construction methods, technical specifications, and scientific and technological achievements in other places have been improved one after another. The continuous promotion of the policy has led to the change of market demand for aluminum formwork. It effectively promotes the formation of a new ecological system of the whole industrial chain of aluminum template, and makes the aluminum template have more multi-dimensional competitive advantage.

This survey makes an overall forecast on the development of aluminum formwork industry in 2022. Among the more than 100 enterprises surveyed, only 23% of the enterprises are optimistic about the operating prospect of the aluminum mold market; as high as 52% of the enterprises think that the operation of the aluminum template is very difficult and not very optimistic; 25% of the enterprises say that the industry will develop smoothly. The prediction of profit and return on investment. 45% of the enterprises think that the profits are meagre, the return on investment is low, and the competition makes the profits of the industry quickly swallowed up. In the aspect of industry competition situation forecast. 78% of the enterprises believe that in the next two years, the competition will be more fierce, and more enterprises will withdraw one after another.
