The UAE's two aluminium producers are boosting exports to the Far East and other emerging markets to offset disruptions to Middle East orders caused by unrest.
Both Dubai Aluminium (Dubal) and Emirates Aluminium (Emal) have suspended shipments to Syria, an important centre for re-export of the metal in the region.
As a result, the firms are directing more trade elsewhere.
"We always direct our orders to somewhere else," said Khalid Buhumaid, a spokesman for Dubal. "The Far East market is picking up, and one of the challenges for next year is exploring South America."
