New data from the European Aluminium Association (EAA) predicts a bright future for aluminium in the European market, driven primarily by thriving demand for its applications in transport. End-use demand for aluminium in Europe will almost double in the coming decades, from 12m tpy today to a staggering 20m tonnes by 2050. This is mainly a result of aluminium's growing use in transport, which has almost tripled since the 1990s. Indeed the European market is expected to grow from 3.8m tpy today to 7m tpy in 2050, with the average use of aluminium per European citizen rising by nearly 64% to 36 kg by 2050.
