In the past 12 months, power tariffs for primary aluminium smelters have continued to increase around the world - to the extent that they have more than doubled over the decade - and Chinese power tariffs in particular have increased substantially as the country's demand for power continues to outstrip its supply.
he World Steel Association (worldsteel) has published the 2011 Steel Statistical Yearbook, now available on the website.
The global transportation sector is the key end-use sector for aluminium with 27% of the market share. Aluminium demand is split across all the major end-use segments in the transportation sector including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, railways, motorcycles, aerospace and shipbuilding and is seen as a good light weight option to achieve greater fuel savings.
With demand for both bauxite and alumina due to remain strong through the coming years as the aluminium market continues recovering, questions now exist around from where the bauxite will come to continue meeting this growing demand, if the bauxite market further tightens then how might that constrain alumina production, and what other sources of alumina will be developed?
The new and enhanced "2011 Bauxite and Alumina Market Outlook" is now available.
