World primary aluminium production sees limited growth in two months, weighed down by February’s drop
In the first two months of 2025, the world's primary aluminium production represented a year-on-year increase of 0.85 per cent, amounting to 11.88 million tonnes, which was significantly offset by declines M-o-M, according to the International Aluminium Institute's data. Following January when the world output was 6.235 million tonnes, slightly down by 0.30 per cent from 6.254 million tonnes, the production in February reached 5.645 million tonnes, further down by 9.46 per cent M-o-M. Fewer operation days likely contributed to the decline, even though daily production slightly increased from 201,100 tonnes in January to 201,600 tonnes.
Alongside, reduced output in some of the primary aluminium-producing regions played a critical role in the overall drop for February. Even on a year-on-year basis, the output in February 2025 recorded a downfall of 0.86 per cent from 5.694 million tonnes.
