We have just wrapped up 2016 and are preparing ourselves towards a productive 2017. The year has ended with a positive note for the industry as well as AlCircle. Since, we call ourselves the Virtual Aluminium Ecosystem, AlCircle’s growth story coincides with the growth of the industry. The aluminium industry has continued its growth throughout the year despite the challenging commodity market. Upstream sector is booming in Asia and the End user demand scenario is bullish in North America as well as Europe and the continuous shift of focus towards the downstream sector is expected to bring positive results in 2017. Sustainability and cost management would continue to play a significant role in the aluminium industry. LME aluminium prices are showing signs of settling down after a steady rise over the year. Overall, the industry outlook looks bright for 2017.
We have put together our Recap 2016 Stories for you to browse through and analyse and make strategies for the New Year. We hope the same is going to help you in informed decision making.
