Aluminum foils in industry and technology
Aluminum foil is one of the most widely used aluminum products in the world due to its versatility, handling and ease of recycling. Aluminum foil can completely isolate light, oxygen, moisture and bacteria, making it the perfect product for food and medical packaging. Other uses of aluminum foil include beverages, confectionery, personal care products, healthcare and many other industrial applications.
Aluminum foils from ABLAL perfectly meet international requirements for product safety and quality.

The demand for aluminum foil is constantly increasing
The global market for aluminum foil packaging is expected to grow strongly in the coming years. This strong growth will develop in developing markets due to strong economic growth and the growing middle class with their increasing disposable incomes. Changing lifestyles, which include changing eating habits, will lead to an increased demand for packaging, which is usually made of aluminum. The increased demand for ready-to-eat confectionery and pharmaceutical products is the main driver of the aluminum foil industry.
Europe and Asia
It is interesting to note that with the recent development of the global aluminum market, which is shifting the production base more and more to the East and Asia in particular, consisting of a number of new emerging companies from China, India and the Middle East that want to gain market share in other countries.
China continues to lead the way in aluminum foil production. In terms of consumption, however, the western markets remain the locomotive of demand with high growth rates. In the period under review, China and the Middle East have established themselves as important producers and suppliers of aluminum foil on the global market. While India and the Southeast European countries have always had great growth prospects, their share of the availability and consumption of aluminum foil currently does not even come close to the per capita consumption rate of the industrialized countries.
Demand on the global market
In addition to the increasing availability of cheaper capacities for the production of foil and a lower capacity of products from China, Taiwan and India, to name but a few, the construction of new foil factories has slowed down considerably over the years. Another important factor for the good development of the sector in foil production itself, which is particularly located in the eastern hemisphere, is the increasing tendency of manufacturers of so-called primary aluminum to align their production at the "foil stock" level.
In 2012, the production of films kept pace with global demand. This has significantly improved the security of supply for smaller and independent film manufacturers and also the production of independent manufacturers who supply end consumers worldwide.
