Tight Aluminium Supply Expected for 2026

For 2026, analysts at ING expect aluminium to remain in short supply. This shortage is further fuelled by global delivery difficulties and a Chinese aluminium industry operating near its maximum permitted production. At present, China is not expected to become a net exporter of aluminium in the near future; instead, production will continue to be predominantly processed domestically. This should influence aluminium prices further.
