China's electrolytic aluminum production has shown a decline in output, the effects of supply-side reform have been fully reflected, and the rapid expansion of China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity has been effectively controlled. According to GNEE statistics, as of the end of 2018, China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity was 40.51 million tons per year, and the production capacity ceiling has been formed; the annual electrolytic aluminum output was approximately 36.59 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.2%, accounting for 57% of the global share.
Bauxite is the world's main source of aluminum. The ore must first be chemically treated to produce alumina. Removing impurities from bauxite results in alumina, which forms the raw material for making aluminum. Refined alumina is processed in an electrolytic process to produce liquid aluminum, which is then given different shapes and sizes.
