The hike in production could be attributed to new smelting capacities came online to take advantage of strong demand and high prices in the market.

Aluminium prices in China surged 15 per cent in November before striking a nine-year high of RMB 16,925 per tonne on December 2 amid the low input costs. This led to a strong profit margin encouraging smelters to churn out as much metal as possible.

China’s total aluminium output during the first 11 months of 2020 stood 4 per cent higher than in the previous year to 33.82 million tonnes, showed NBS, on course to overtake the 2018 full-year record.
