IAI: Global primary Al output at 6.04 mln t in Jan
On a daily basis, primary aluminum output worldwide averaged 194,800 tonnes last month, also higher by 2.4% from January 2023, the release showed.
Meanwhile, according to the Institute's revised data for December 2023, total primary aluminum output and the average daily production globally that month scored 6.04 million tonnes and 194,900 tonnes, respectively.
Following the revisions, the world's total primary aluminum output this January eased by 0.05% on month, while the daily average last month also dipped by 0.051% from that for last December.
In January, China still topped the production list among all major primary aluminum smelting countries and regions around the world, with its estimated output of primary ingot higher by 2.83% on year to reach 3.56 million tonnes, the Institute predicted.
In the same month, the five Gulf Cooperation Council countries – Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates – took the second place in global output after China by collectively producing 532,000 tonnes of primary ingot, higher by 1.33% on year.
Asia (excluding China) ranked the third, with countries including India and Indonesia posting a total 406,000 tonnes of aluminum production in January, climbing by 5.45% on year, the IAI's data showed.
