PVDF aluminum composite panels weather resistance-the key factors influencing the price and demand of aluminum

Fluctuations in raw material costs:

The cost of aluminium accounts for approximately 60% to 70% of the total product cost. At the beginning of 2025, the price of primary aluminum is approximately $2,600 per ton. Its fluctuations will directly affect the production cost and terminal price of aluminum composite panels.

Product structure upgrade:

For safety reasons, many regions around the world (especially in high-rise buildings) are promoting the shift of products from traditional polyethylene (PE) core materials to A2 grade non-combustible mineral core materials. Such high-performance products are more expensive and represent the mainstream trend in the future.

Technological iteration and competition with substitutes

High-end: Aluminum composite panels with PVDF coating dominate in high-end commercial buildings due to their extremely long weather resistance life (up to 25 years).

Competitive pressure: In cost-sensitive markets such as residential buildings, aluminum composite panels are facing competition from alternative materials with more price advantages, such as fiber cement boards and high-pressure laminates.
