Primary aluminium output in China hit nearly 12.56 Million Metric Tons in 2007. Rising demand and slowing production are putting pressure on supply-demand balance.
In Western Europe, there were 12 Merger and Acquisition transactions collectively worth over US$ 2 Billion in 2005, a 79% increase from the aggregate value that was swapped in 2004.
Energy and labor are two of the major costs for companies in the aluminum industry. Each of these represents a share of about 33% of the total cost of smelting production in the US.
