Aluminum Production by Country

Aluminum is lightweight, durable and flexible, making it one of the most commonly produced metals in the world. The material is used in the construction industry, automotive manufacturing, appliances and consumer goods.

One of the benefits of aluminum is it is light weight. This characteristic makes vehicles lighter and can reduce the gas consumption of a car. This material also meets other industries&#; demands. Aluminum&#;s flexibility and electrically conductive properties give it an advantage in electronics industries, while its recyclability makes it popular for use in making food-safe foils and cans.

While contribution by country varies, world primary aluminum production measured almost 69 million tons in alone, with China producing the lion&#;s share (over 58%), but the year&#;s expansion was driven by the rest of Asia and the Middle East. The metal is also produced in Europe, North America, Latin America, Oceania, and Africa. Aluminum comes from bauxite ore, which is made into alumina in alumina refineries and then smelted into aluminum. 

According to the Shanghai Metals Market survey, China's aluminium production in March (31 calendar days) amounted to 3.555 million tonnes, bringing the country's total aluminium output in the year's first quarter to 10.45 million tonnes.

On a month-on-month basis, China's aluminium production in March registered an increase of 6.66 per cent from 3.333 million tonnes. On an annual basis, the output edged a growth of 4.25 per cent from 3.41 million tonnes. 

Despite the M-o-M increase in China's aluminium production in March, the domestic daily output stood flat at 114,900 tonnes, suggesting the fact that China's aluminium smelters' daily operating rate recorded no growth in March.

The share of aluminium liquid output rose by 9.6 per cent month-on-month and 1.4 per cent year-on-year to stand at 73.88 per cent. According to SMM aluminium liquid ratio data, the domestic aluminium ingot volume in March was down by 1.24 per cent year-on-year to 928,400 tonnes. 

Production capacity

In March , domestic aluminium smelters maintained steady operations, with Yunnan smelters beginning to resume production. But many other smelters were still struggling to restart production or remained closed. For instance, an aluminium smelter in Inner Mongolia was trying to recommence production after it had to shut down its operations due to a power outage. An aluminium smelter in Sichuan with an annual capacity of 125,000 tonnes got closed for maintenance at the end of March until September.

At the end of March , China's domestic aluminium capacity was around 45.19 million tonnes, its operating capacity at 42.1 million tonnes, and the operating rate at 93.15 per cent after growing by 4.39 per cent year-on-year. 

Output forecast for April

China's domestic aluminium production will likely remain stable in April (30 calendar days) as 800,000 kilowatts of power load is allocated to aluminium smelters for production resumption. Aluminium smelters in Yunnan have already begun to resume production and are likely to reach full production by mid-April, which will support China's aluminium output in April.

SMM predicts domestic aluminium operating capacity will increase by 250,000 tonnes to 42.35 million tonnes in April and that the production capacity will be around 3.49 million tonnes.
