US Aluminum Market Analysis

The US aluminum industry is the world's single largest producer of primary aluminum, with over 300 plants in 35 states and employs over 145,000 people at an annual payroll of about US$ 5 Billion. Aluminum is one of the few products and industries left in America that truly impacts every community in the country - either through physical plants and facilities, recycling, heavy industry or consumption of consumer goods.

In terms of its positive economic and environmental impact, the aluminum industry remains one of the most significant success stories nationally as well as internationally. Despite taking giant leap forward and great success stories in recent years, the industry has been affected by slowdown in automobile and construction industry but a strong recovery is promised in 2010 on account of government stimulus package and increasing consumer confidence. In addition, the global consumption of aluminum products, both upstream and downstream, is expected to double annually by 2020. This will give ample reasons for players to enter the market with ever increased production capacities.

Some fundamental characteristics such as recyclability, strength and inherent flexibility are gradually making aluminum an important metal for the real estate and construction industry in the US. Moreover, automobile manufacturers are increasingly using aluminum in auto parts and automobile body manufacturing. This is expected to trigger aluminum demand with the recovery of country’s automobile and real estate industry from recession in late 2010.

Our new research report “US Aluminum Market Analysis” is an analytical study of aluminum market in the US. It rationally discusses past and current performance of the market, and gives information of trends that will emanate in future. This report provides a conceptual understanding of aluminum industry’s performance in all prominent aluminum intensive industries - including transportation, packaging, building construction, etc. It also gives a futuristic outlook of potential opportunity areas for aluminum industry such as healthcare, cable and transmission, green home, green car industries. The report has been made considering the impact of global economic slowdown on the aluminium industry to provide clients with an unbiased analysis that helps them in devising strategies for venturing into the US aluminium industry.

For research purpose, the market has been defined in terms of primary aluminum production.

Coal Liquefaction Industry in United States

The tightening of worldwide oil reserves is causing the price of oil to escalate - and makes coal, which is much more abundantly available, an interesting starting material for liquid fuels and chemical raw materials. Circumstances have thus made coal liquefaction a very lucrative option.

Coal liquefaction is a process that converts coal from a solid state into liquid fuels, usually to provide substitutes for petroleum products. Coal liquefaction processes were first developed in the early part of the 20th century but later application was hindered by the relatively low price and wide availability of crude oil and natural gas.

Aruvian's R'search’s report on the Coal Liquefaction Industry in the United States is a complete coverage report which focuses on the basics of coal liquefaction, its history, challenges and barriers, the growth drivers, major market players, major ongoing projects, and the economics of coal liquefaction. With the growing popularity of coal liquefaction, Aruvian’s report comes at the right time for anyone wanting to upgrade their knowledge on this lucrative industry.

Healthcare Industry in United States

Health care in the United States is provided by many separate legal entities. Current estimates put US healthcare spending at approximately 15% of GDP, which is the highest in the world. The United States spends the highest percentage of health care costs on pharmaceuticals in the world. The health share of gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to hold steady in 2006 before resuming its historical upward trend, reaching 19.6 percent of GDP by 2016. In the United States, around 85% of citizens have health insurance, either through their employer or purchased individually.

The federal government does not guarantee universal health care to all its citizens, but certain publicly-funded health care programs help to provide for some of the elderly, disabled, and the poor and federal law ensures public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay. Those without health insurance coverage are expected to pay privately for medical services. Health insurance is expensive and medical bills are overwhelmingly the most common reason for personal bankruptcy in the United States.

This report from Aruvian's R'search on the Healthcare Industry in United States looks at the overall industry, starting with the basic market analysis, and leading on to analyzing the major issues facing the industry today.
