COVID-19 Impact
During this time when the COVID-19 pandemic is crippling various industries, public construction has been one of the few industries that have been maintained to some extent. While the operation is likely to continue in the short term, work is expected to stop soon due to numerous reasons, including disruption of supply chains, shortages of subcontractors and materials, and the termination of cost management contracts. There has been a temporary suspension of building and construction activities in various regions. For instance, the construction output in Great Britain fell by a record 35.0% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2020 compared with Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2020. This value decline was due to the Corona Virus pandemic. With the decrease in building and construction operation, the demand for aluminum materials has significantly fallen, which is having a major impact on the aluminum profiles and fittings market.

Aluminum Profiles and Fittings Market – Challenges
Increasing Preference of Steel over Aluminium
Wherever possible, the big construction project needs to save money. Unfortunately, as opposed to steel, aluminium is more costly. Furthermore, since aluminium cannot withstand the same amount of stress as steel, more aluminium sheets are used, resulting in higher costs. When compared to steel, aluminium is more prone to denting and scratching, as well as being much thinner. Steel is a strong material that will not warp, deform, or bend when subjected to weight, force, or heat. Nonetheless, steel's power comes at the cost of being much heavier and denser than aluminium. These benefits of steel over aluminum may hamper the growth of aluminum profiles and fittings market over the forecast period.
