Global Aluminum Wire Rods Market Forecast to 2031: Key Insights

According to our latest study on "Global Aluminum Wire Rods Market – Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis – by Diameter Size, Industry, and Geography," the market was valued at US$ 20.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 27.8 billion by 2031. The aluminum wire rods market is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.7% during 2025–2031. Rising demand for lightweight, high-conductivity materials in power transmission and distribution is driving the aluminum wire rods market.

Aluminum wire rod—produced by continuous casting and rolling of primary or recycled aluminum (typically 7–12 mm in diameter)—serves as the main raw material for manufacturing conductors, cables, and various industrial wires. Aluminum wire rod is primarily used in power transmission lines, where bare conductors require a material that offers an excellent balance of high electrical conductivity, low weight, and strong corrosion resistance. Beyond power grids, aluminum wire rods is widely utilized in building wiring, automotive and electric vehicle harnesses, rail and telecom infrastructure, and various machinery. It also finds selective applications in aerospace and marine sectors. Overall, its demand is driven largely by the power, construction, and transportation industries. 

Aluminum Wire Rods Market

Developments in Power Transmission, Grid Expansion, and Electrification Infrastructure Drive Market Growth.

Several countries heavily invest in rural electrification, new transmission lines, smart grid upgrades, and interconnections. These projects increase the need for overhead conductors, distribution cables, and associated wiring. Aluminum is lightweight, has good conductivity, and is cost-effective compared to other alternatives. These properties make aluminum conductors the preferred choice for utilities and engineering firms. Most of these conductors are manufactured using aluminum wire rods as the raw material.

The global shift toward renewable energy is driving the need for national grids to develop extensive long-distance transmission and distribution systems. This includes new wiring for substations, collection networks, and overall distribution infrastructure. Aluminum being lightweight and easy to install, becomes an appealing option for large-scale, distributed infrastructure projects. 
Thus, rising electricity consumption, grid expansion initiatives, renewable energy integration, and infrastructure upgrades altogether contribute to the aluminum wire rods market growth.

Global Aluminum Wire Rods Market: Segmental Overview

Based on the diameter, the global aluminum wire rods market forecast is evaluated by considering below 10 mm, 11–20 mm, and above 20 mm. The below 10 mm segment held the largest aluminum wire rods market share.   

Aluminum wire rods below 10 mm are mainly used to produce wires for electrical wiring, power cables, automotive harnesses, magnet wires for motors and transformers, communication cables, and small connectors. This segment is most demanding for the multiple drawing passes, tight tolerances, and excellent surface finish conditions. Manufacturers are heavily investing in accurate casting, controlled rolling, and surface defect elimination in order to ensure good drawability, longer die life, and minimal wire breakage. Thus, sub-10 mm aluminum rods form the backbone of high-value wire, cable, and component supply chains across construction, automotive, electronics, and electrical engineering industries. Their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties make them essential for producing reliable conductors in these sectors.

Aluminum wire rods in the 11–20 mm range serve as both intermediate stock and near-final forms for a variety of applications. These include busbars, earthing rods, larger cable cores, industrial conductors, and certain mechanical components used in electrical machinery. This diameter range offers an optimal balance of conductivity and mechanical strength, allowing for limited drawing, bending, and machining during processing. Manufacturers prioritize uniform electrical and mechanical properties, low inclusion content, and high dimensional accuracy to ensure reliable performance in subsequent forming, threading, or extrusion processes. This segment is essential for power distribution, industrial electrification, renewable energy projects, and grid modernization.

In August 2025, Midal Cables announced the launch of MiRecAL, a new line of aluminum wire rods recycled products developed in alignment with the Kingdom of Bahrain's goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. The MiRecAL line includes two recycled variants containing 15% and 30% recycled aluminum, respectively. Compared to conventional aluminum rod manufacturing, these products achieve up to 29% lower greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the transition toward a low-carbon economy.

In September 2024, Vedanta Aluminium introduced two premium products for the power and transmission sector at PowerEdge 2024. The first, AL59 Ingot, is designed for remelting operations and offers one of the highest electrical conductivities in its class. The second is an EC-grade wire rod, ideal for winding strips. This product combines strength, conductivity, and ductility with excellent formability, making it suitable for fine drawing, conforming, and enameling processes used in transformer and motor winding applications.
