African aluminium smelters witness increased production in Q1 2022 in comparison with Q1 2021

Total aluminium production worldwide for the month of March 2022 has been 5.693 million tonnes with a rise of 10.35 per cent than 5.118 million tonnes in the previous month. African production of aluminium has been on steep upward rise from 123,000 tonnes in February 2022 to 136,000 tonnes in March 2022.

Africa has increased aluminium production by 13,000 tonnes in March, bringing the total production to 398,000 tonnes in Q1 2022. That was an increase of 3.38 per cent from 385,000 tonnes in Q1 2021.

But comparing the worldwide production of 1Q2021 and 1Q2022, we find the primary aluminium output was on a decline since collection in Q1 2021 amounted up to 16.786 million tonnes, whereas in Q1 2022, it was 16.459 million tonnes.

Surprisingly enough keeping the exact time span in mind, for the years 2021 and 2022, we can infer, Africa did witness a minimal rise in aluminium production. While the total keep for the Q1 2021 in Africa was 385,000 tonnes, it escalated really quickly to become 398,000 tonnes in the year Q1 2022.

When we calculate, it comes to our attention that 67.243 million tonnes of primary aluminium was produced in 2021, worldwide, which is quite a huge number to cross this year since the prevailing war-like situation may become ruthless for the global metal market.
