According to the latest data shared by Shanghai Metals Market, China’s metallurgical-grade alumina production in the entire year of 2020 came in at 67.29 million tonnes, down by 2.02 per cent on a year-on-year basis. In December, alumina output, including 5.75 million tonnes of metallurgical-grade alumina, stood at 5.96 million tonnes.

Roasting capacity at some alumina refineries in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi was restricted, leading to the month-on-month decline in alumina output in December.

The daily alumina output in December 2020 stood down by 4.04 per cent month-on-month but up 2.26 per cent year-on-year to 185,500 tonnes.

As of early January, the operating capacity of metallurgical-grade alumina stood at 70.2 million tonnes a year. SMM forecasts the output in January to remain restrained at 5.96 million tonnes, with daily production to rise slightly.
