About This Dataset

Countries by Primary Aluminium Production 2024
Countries ranked by total primary aluminium production in 2024, measured in millions of metric tons according to the International Aluminium Institute. China produces over 57% of the world's aluminium — a dominance so complete that global aluminium prices are effectively set by Chinese production costs and government subsidy policies. This concentration has triggered repeated trade disputes, with the US and EU imposing tariffs arguing that Chinese state subsidies constitute unfair competition.
Analysis

China's production of 41.0 million metric tons starkly contrasts with the next largest producer, India, at just 4.1 million metric tons, revealing a significant gap in aluminium output. This dominance not only shapes global supply chains but also influences international trade dynamics, as seen in the ongoing tariffs imposed by the US and EU against Chinese aluminium. The production figures from Russia and Canada, at 3.7 and 3.1 million metric tons respectively, further illustrate the challenges faced by other countries in competing with China's scale. The trend suggests that unless there is a substantial shift in production capabilities or policies, China will continue to dictate global aluminium prices and trade relations.
