"In the first half of the year, the construction of domestic aluminum processing enterprises first slowed down and then increased. In the second quarter, consumption recovered, but the decline in export orders is still relatively obvious." Recently, in the reed exhibitions sponsored "after the outbreak of aluminum processing development direction and opportunity - shaped article" online meeting, grobbee DE Beijing antaike information co., LTD., a senior expert said that aluminum processing export enterprises to the domestic market, decline processing orders to concentrate in large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises face multiple pressures such as weak market and the capital chain tension.

Wang Weidong predicted that the annual production of most varieties of aluminum less than the first half of the year, aluminum extrusion material import and export double decline, but the decline will continue to narrow, industrial profile growth mainly in the construction of aluminum template, aluminum furniture and new energy vehicles. The current holding quantity of aluminum template is between 4-5 million tons, and the future market may reach 8-9 million tons. In terms of new energy vehicles, new models have a large amount of aluminum.

The International Aluminium Association recently briefed the industry on a new report by CM Group, an independent global research and analysis Group. According to the report, global aluminium demand is expected to reach 298 mtPY by 2050 and is optimistic about the post-COVID-19 aluminium industry. Long-term drivers of aluminum growth remain in place after the outbreak, and opportunities are more prominent, the report said.

The report shows the growing demand for environmental solutions in areas such as transportation, infrastructure, energy and food security, and the aluminium industry is providing these solutions. The outbreak has helped fuel an already growing global demand for aluminium.

"The aluminum industry, like all other parts of the industry, remains tested in the short term, but there are reasons for optimism," says Miles Prosser, secretary-general of the international Aluminum Association. We need the participation of all, including consumers, industry leaders, policymakers, governments and all stakeholders, to play a role in bringing about positive change in the aluminium industry. Despite the outbreak, the aluminum industry remains hopeful and has good prospects."

Industry insiders said that the trend of consumption upgrading continues, the aluminum industry chain continues to extend to the downstream, aluminum applications are increasingly diversified, and the new round of development opportunities for the aluminum industry.

The reporter learned that the production of domestic aluminum processing enterprises resumed rapidly after the epidemic. The production in January-April was significantly increased compared with the previous year and month-on-month in April, driving the rapid growth of domestic primary aluminum consumption. The export of aluminum fell within the expected range, and the import of unforged aluminum increased significantly.

Wang Weidong believes that aluminum to go high quality development, on the one hand to develop their own characteristic products, on the other hand to pay attention to the enterprise and product layout, including the adjustment of the layout of the entire domestic aluminum industry, to consider whether the aluminum plant is close to aluminum resources and the market. "Brand effect" is important, he says, and it can take years for a new business to enter the market, a process that tests a company's overall production and operation capabilities.
