The AICE 2025 SMM (14th) Aluminum Industry Annual Conference will be held in Zhengzhou, China on October 16–17, 2025, bringing together global industry leaders at the heart of China’s aluminum sector.

In a year marked by deepening global supply chain fragmentation, escalating U.S.-China strategic tensions, the rollout of carbon tariffs (CBAM) in Europe and the U.S., and political uncertainty in American governance, the aluminum industry faces unprecedented challenges. Meanwhile, China’s “Dual Carbon” policy is reshaping industrial landscapes, with surging new energy vehicle sales and breakthroughs like the C919 aircraft unlocking new growth potential.

This high-level conference will focus on securing upstream resources, long-term trade agreements, price forecasting and risk hedging, low-carbon transition pathways, and technological innovation. Special attention will be given to global bauxite allocation, alumina and primary aluminum supply-demand dynamics, and long-term contract pricing models—critical areas requiring collaborative solutions.

AICE 2025 aims to empower enterprises to anticipate market trends, optimize resource strategies, navigate green trade barriers, and jointly promote the sustainable development of China’s and the global aluminum industry.
