NBS: China's primary aluminium output rises 3 per cent Y-o-Y during Jan-Feb

Normally, the NBS consolidates production data for January and February to minimise distortions caused by the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday, which usually falls in either of the two months, Mysteel Global notes.

To know more about the global primary aluminium industry 2026 outlook, book the report “Global ALuminium Industry Outlook 2026”.

On a daily basis, primary aluminium output nationwide averaged 127,627 tonnes during the first two months of the year, rising by 2.9 per cent on year, Mysteel Global calculated based on the NBS figures.
