AL Circle analysis: Germany’s aluminium trade surplus, Novelis’ US expansion, Asia’s EV demand & India’s underutilised downstream capacity
Aluminium’s next growth phase is increasingly being shaped by downstream processing, supply-chain resilience and demand from specialised applications. Germany continues to generate a substantial trade surplus in flat-rolled products despite a shrinking primary aluminium base, while North America is investing in recycling and rolling. Across Asia, new manufacturing capabilities and growing demand from electric vehicles, railways and batteries are creating further opportunities. However, declining exports, underutilised capacity and uneven profitability show that investment alone does not guarantee success. For industry leaders, the challenge is to identify where demand is shifting, develop products that meet customer requirements and ensure that new investments translate into sustainable...

India’s aluminium extrusion output falls to close to 900kt as capacity utilisation slumps near 30%
India’s aluminium extrusion industry is facing mounting pressure as production has dropped while manufacturers operate at only about 30 per cent of installed capacity, prompting concerns over the viability of several factories. The Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India (ALEMAI) has also sought the removal of the 7.5 per cent basic customs duty on primary aluminium which, together with the applicable surcharge, results in an effective duty of about 8.25 per cent, arguing that the levy is adding to raw-material costs for domestic downstream manufacturers. According to the latest industry figures, India’s aluminium extrusion production has declined to around 800-900 thousand tonnes, from approximately 1.2 million tonnes earlier. This compares with an installed extrusion...
India aluminium extrusion sector targets 10% growth with ₹750b revenue amid working capital pressure
India’s aluminium extrusion industry is preparing for strong demand growth of around 10 per cent annually over the next five years, supported by data centres, renewable energy, construction, electric vehicles, semiconductor plants and packaging. At the same time, manufacturers are working to manage higher raw-material and energy costs and the resulting working-capital requirements. Jitendra Chopra, president of the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India (ALEMAI), said the downstream sector, which includes around 400 MSME and medium-sized units, generates about INR 750 billion (around USD 8 billion) in annual revenue and provides around one million jobs. Chopra also stated the sector could create more employment and attract additional investment if manufacturers are able to...
China's August aluminium extrusion exports hit a YTD high; pullback expected in September amid narrowing price spread
According to customs data, China’s aluminium extrusion exports totalled 92,500 tonnes in August 2026, the highest monthly export volume of the year, up 3.0 per cent M-o-M, an increase of 2,700 tonnes from 89,800 tonnes in July. This was up 9.7 per cent Y-o-Y from 84,300 tonnes in August 2025. From January to August, China’s cumulative aluminium extrusion exports reached 629,600 tonnes, up 8.7 per cent Y-o-Y. By province, the M-o-M growth in August mainly came from traditional production areas. Guangdong exported 42,400 tonnes, accounting for 45.8 per cent, up 4,100 tonnes M-o-M, with the province’s growth alone exceeding the national net increase, making it the core engine of the month’s rebound. Shandong served as ballast, holding above 12,000 tonnes for three consecutive months. Hainan...
