AlCircle launches “Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2022”: A conclusive report

The year 2022 brings along a new beam of hope and inspiration for the metal industry. With this, team AlCircle is excited to announce the launch of its, “Global Aluminium Outlook 2022,” report.

The report highlights the overall performance of the aluminium industry and also gives an idea of how the industry is going to perform for the rest of the year. The report's main goal is to go through the major developments of the year in each sector, to see how each vertical influences the growth or counter-growth of the others.

According to the report, in 2021, the global aluminium sector rebounded quickly, with demand for primary and recycled metal increasing by 7.6% to 93.5 million tonnes, up from 86.9 million tonnes in 2020. This rebound may be linked to a comeback of demand in all of the world's main industrialised countries, particularly China.

The report states that primary metal output climbed by around 2.6% to an anticipated 67 million tonnes. Even as demand recovers in some industry sectors over the next 2-to-3 years, the aluminium industry in 2022 will be countering some more difficulties, including the rise in the prices of energy and raw material crises, restricted capacity expansions in comparison to expanding demand, and the potential of impending pandemic waves.

New projects and development plans are anticipated to boost worldwide bauxite output by around 1.6% in 2022. The output for 2022 is expected to be 383 million tonnes in volume. Leading producers such as Australia, Guinea, and Indonesia are at the forefront of expansions, with a number of new projects underway as well as capacity expansions at existing mines.

As of Q3 2021, Alcoa had delivered over 36 million dry metric tonnes of bauxite and expects to ship between 49.0 and 50.0 million tonnes in 2021, a little increase over 2020's cargo. Bauxite sales were lower than expected, according to the company's quarterly financial statement, due to a setback at its Alumar refinery facility and significant maintenance expenditures. However, it was somewhat offset by favourable aluminium pricing, according to the business.
