As per IAI, America’s alumina production has registered a Year-on-Year growth of 3.52 per cent from 10.352 million tonnes in the first three quarters of 2022 to 10.717 million tonnes in the first three quarters of 2023. Therefore, America has contributed around 10 per cent to the Q1+Q2+Q3 world alumina production in 2023.
According to the International Aluminium Institute’s (IAI) data, the world alumina production is presently at 105.968 million tonnes, joining the first three quarters of 2023, which is 74.5 per cent of the total world alumina production marked at 142.227 million tonnes in 2022.
We can hope that the last and final quarter will be fulfilling, but the transition to green energy resources might hamper production to a certain extent in the American sub-continent. Moreover, the shift to recyclable materials might also curtail the production of raw alumina.
