In the forecast for net receipts of purchased aluminum old scrap extrusions at secondary smelters in the US from 2024 to 2028, we see a consistent upward trend. Starting at 208.21 thousand metric tons in 2024, the receipts are projected to increase annually, reaching 257.27 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years, indicating robust growth in demand or capacity for secondary aluminum production. Comparing the values, we observed an annual increase of around 5 to 6% year-on-year from 2024 onwards.

Future trends to watch for in this sector include:

Technological developments in recycling processes increasing efficiency.
Potential regulatory changes affecting recycling rates and secondary smelter operations.
Market demand shifts influenced by the global economy and sustainability initiatives.
