The global aluminum foil market size is estimated to reach USD 45.67 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing investments in the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry and rising demand for packaging from the food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, along with favorable government policies regarding carbon footprint reduction, are driving the market growth.
Governments around the world are encouraging the production of EVs. For instance, in 2021, the French government unveiled an industrial revival plan worth EUR 30.0 billion (~USD 32.1 billion) in sectors such as nuclear & renewable energy sources, electric cars, semiconductors, and robotics, and revive the industrial sector. In this plan, the government has allocated EUR 4.0 billion (~USD 4.3 billion) for transport and mobility, with a target to produce 2 million EVs and hybrid vehicles by 2030.
The aluminum foil is a thin aluminum sheet ranging from 0.006 mm to the upper ISO defined limit of 0.2 mm. Owing to its properties like high thermal conductivity, excellent resistance, low density, the excellent barrier to moisture, and non-absorbent has increased the demand in the various end-use industries. The current trend in the market showcases the rising popularity of wrapper foil, which is anticipated to continue across the forecast period. Due to its lightweight, flexible, and non-toxic characteristics, its demand has been steadily increasing in the packaging industry.
The global aluminum foil market is highly competitive. Key players of the end-use industry are backward integrated and have access to raw materials, have better control over price volatility, and have improved customer access. The market witnessed investments for capacity expansion and acquisitions. For instance, in April 2021, ANG Lifesciences India acquired Mansa Print and Publisher Ltd. This strategic backward integration is aimed to help expand ANG’s footprint in the pharmaceutical business.
