China’s aluminium production for H1 2013 totalled 10.58Mt, up 7.9% on the same period last year, according to CNIA figures. Production is likely to accelerate during the second half of the year as new capacity comes on stream, mainly in the North West of the country.


Primary output in June 2013 was 1.84Mt, pointing to an annual rate of 22.4Mt


China’s net imports of primary aluminium reached 45.5kt during the H1 2013 period, down by a staggering 81% from 236kt for the same period last year.


Aluminium semis production was up by 24.58% to 18.2Mt compared with full-year 2012 growth of 14.60%. Net aluminium semis exports from China totalled 1.25Mt, up almost 8% year-on-year and reversing a downward trend reported last year.


Demand for aluminium from the construction sector experienced stable growth as nationwide real estate growth rose by just over 20% for H1 2013, up 4.1 percentage points on the whole of 2012.


Auto production for the period was up 12.83% and China’s demand for the miracle metal should grow by 12% for 2013 overall.
