According to preliminary estimates released by the Aluminum Association, as part of its Aluminium Situation report, North American (U.S. and Canada) aluminium demand in the first quarter of 2022 (1Q2022) had increased by 5.3 percent. This comes after an expected 8.2 percent increase in demand through the end of 2021 (up from 7.7 percent before), and amid a period of strong investment by aluminium producers, fabricators, and recyclers in the United States.

“The picture for the U.S. aluminum industry remains very strong. Economic recovery, demand for recyclable and sustainable materials and robust trade enforcement are all making America a very attractive place to make aluminum – as evidenced by the fastest pace of investment for the industry in decades,” said Charles Johnson, president & CEO of the Aluminum Association.
The major highlights of the report include:
