Aluminum output at the member nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council will climb to 5.21 million metric tons in 2015 from 3.48 million tons last year, said Mahmood Daylami, Gulf Aluminum Council secretary general.
Output at the United Arab Emirates will continue to account for half of the total production in the region, climbing to 2.6 million tons from 1.75 million tons last year, he said in a speech at a Metal Bulletin conference in Shanghai.
“The challenge of the expansion in the region will be the availability of gas and the raw material supply - alumina,” he said. “The industry will remain export-oriented to meet the demand of declining output elsewhere in the world.”
