Global alumina production in May

According to the data of the International Aluminum Association, in May 2021, the global alumina output was 12.166 million tons, an increase of 3.86% month on month; A year-on-year increase of 8.57%. From January to may, the global alumina output totaled 58.158 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.07%. Among them, China’s alumina output in May was 6.51 million tons, an increase of 3.33% month on month; A year-on-year increase of 10.90%. From January to May this year, China’s alumina output totaled 31.16 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.49%.

According to the statistics of the International Aluminum Association (IAI), the global metallurgical alumina output in July 2021 was 12.23 million tons, an increase of 3.2% over June (although the daily average output was slightly lower than that in the same period), an increase of 8.0% over July 2020

In just seven months, 82.3 million tons of alumina were produced worldwide. This is an increase of 6.7% over the same period a year ago.

In the seven months, about 54% of global alumina production came from China – 44.45 million tons, an increase of 10.6% over the same period last year. According to IAI, the alumina output of Chinese enterprises reached a record 6.73 million tons in July, an increase of 12.9% over the same month last year.

Alumina production also increased in South America, Africa and Asia (except China). In addition, the IAI unified the CIS countries, Eastern and Western European countries into a group. In the past seven months, the group has produced 6.05 million tons of alumina, an increase of 2.1% over the same period last year.

Alumina production in Australia and Oceania has not actually increased, although in terms of total market share, the region ranks second in the world, second only to China – an increase of almost 15% in seven months. The output of alumina in North America from January to July was 1.52 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%. This is the only area where there has been a decline
