AlCircle launches Aluminium Industry Recap 2018: A Look Back at the Global Aluminium Value Chain

As the year 2018 wrapped up and 2019 has started, AlCircle is coming up with a comprehensive Aluminium Industry Recap 2018. The recap will give you an opportunity to look back at the significant developments that shaped or disturbed the industry value chain. This edition of Aluminium Industry Recap 2018 aims to touch upon the major developments vertical wise, which influenced each other driving growth or counter growth. We also touched upon the major projects, collaborations, investments and divestments, expansions and also the policy changes.

The developments are not only analysed chronologically but also analytically so that you can draw a conclusion on how the entire value chain moved together to bring about a turnaround in the market. 

Trump’s 10% tariffs on the import of aluminium and aluminium products from all countries, punitive sanctions on Rusal, the leading aluminium producer by the U.S., and U.S. China trade war and China’s 50% tariffs on scrap imports from U.S. caused concern and created temporary supply disruptions and price hike.  China’s semi-finished export could not be impacted by tariffs. Strong automotive demand offset the effects of tariffs and encouraged downstream expansions.  

In the input segments, 50% capacity cut in Alunorte alumina refinery on bauxite residue leakage complaint and sanction on Rusal pushed alumina prices to a new high and boosted alumina export from China and India. Guinea grew as next bauxite destination while China’s domestic bauxite resources started depleting.

AlCircle reports aim to enhance your business intelligence and the Recap edition is just another step towards making the process easier while helping your business decisions.
