Bauxite is the primary raw material used to produce alumina and, ultimately, aluminium - a metal essential to modern infrastructure, transport, packaging and clean energy systems. From power transmission lines to electric vehicles and beverage cans, aluminium’s widespread use begins with stable and sufficient bauxite supply.
{alcircleadd}Against this backdrop, the global bauxite market is entering 2026 with firmer fundamentals. AL Circle research estimates global bauxite production at 475–480 million tonnes in 2025, with output projected to rise by 6 per cent year-on-year in 2026. Demand across infrastructure, mobility, packaging and energy transition sectors continues to underpin this rise. To know more about the global primary aluminium industry 2026 outlook, book the report “Global ALuminium Industry Outlook 2026".
Guinea and Australia remain at the forefront of global bauxite production, with China, Brazil, Indonesia and India also ranking among the leading producers. The ten highest-producing bauxite mines in 2025 are as follows:
