Aluminum Profile Production And Consumption In China's Aluminum Processing Industry

The stable, sustained and rapid development of China's national economy and high technology has promoted the rapid development of China's aluminum smelting and aluminum profile processing industry. China's aluminum aluminum alloy profile industrial aluminum profile production reached 8.793 million tons in 2006, surpassing the United States to become the world's first; 2007 production reached 12.508 million tons, an increase of 42.45% compared with 2006, a record high; 2007 imports Industrial aluminum was 690,000 tons, up 0.6% year-on-year; exporting industrial aluminum profiles was 1.853 million tons, up 49.5% year-on-year in 2006, and net export of aluminum alloy profiles was 1.163 million tons. In 2007, the apparent consumption of industrial aluminum in China was 113.45 million tons. In the production of China's aluminum industry from January to June 2008, the output of alumina was 11.129 million tons, an increase of 7.1% over the same period of 2007. The annual output of 2008 is expected to be 23 million tons; the output of electrolytic aluminum is 6.62 million tons, compared with the same period of 2007. The growth rate is 12.9%. It is estimated that the annual production in 2008 will reach 14.5 million tons; the aluminum processed materials will be 6.879 million tons, an increase of 38.3% over the same period of 2007. It is estimated that the annual output in 2008 will reach 14 million tons.
