Auto manufacturers continue to face increasing regulatory pressure to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles. Agencies including the NHTSA, CARB, and the U.S. EPA are enforcing stricter greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards. For example, NHTSA emission regulations reflect a 1.5% increase in stringency from 2021 to 2026, which is expected to bolster demand for aluminum components that support lightweight vehicle designs.

In the U.S., a major producer and consumer of aluminum extrusion, economic fluctuations have impacted industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and construction, leading to reduced demand for extruded products. The U.S. construction industry experienced a downturn in 2022, but demand started recovering in 2023 due to the rollout of major infrastructure projects such as the Gordie Howe International Bridge, the Hudson Tunnel Project, and the JFK Airport Expansion. These developments have reopened the flow of material demand, including aluminum extrusions, due to their low cost, lightweight benefits, and performance advantages in automotive and aerospace applications.
