Summary: The Aluminum Association reports that while the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has disrupted roughly 22% of US primary aluminum imports, the industry is adapting. Manufacturers are pivoting toward global alternatives and domestic recycling capacity to mitigate supply chain stress. However, logistical bottlenecks and high energy costs remain a challenge for primary production. […]

Summary: Critical disruptions continue at major plants including EGA (UAE) and Alba (Bahrain). With nearly 10% of global supply impacted by regional instability, experts warn that full restoration of some potlines could take up to 12 months. Article Link : https://www.industrialinfo.com

Summary: Effective April 24, 2026, the National Aluminium Company (NALCO) has increased the basic price of all aluminium metal products, including billets (the primary raw material for extrusions), by ₹8,900 per metric tonne. This follows a series of aggressive price adjustments throughout April as domestic demand outpaces supply. Article Link : https://mudira.nalcoindia.co.in

Summary: Rio Tinto’s Q1 2026 report reveals stable primary aluminium production of 835,000 tonnes. Notably, the company is phasing out older potlines at Arvida in favor of the newer AP60 technology, which focuses on lower carbon emissions and higher efficiency. While bauxite production dipped due to weather in Australia, the company has maintained steady shipments […]

Summary: A sharp drop in aluminium extrusion output has been reported across several regions, including India and parts of Southeast Asia. The crisis in West Asia has disrupted bauxite and alumina supply chains, forcing some extrusion plants to scale back operations. In China, March 2026 data shows extrusion exports fell 24.8% month-on-month, a structural shift […]
