The aluminum industry ceo agenda 2013 - by BCG
The aluminum industry crisis was caused primarily by oversupply driven by China's rapid expansion of aluminum production capacity. Between 2000-2012, Chinese aluminum demand grew at nearly 16% annually, accounting for 45% of global demand, while demand outside China grew just over 1% annually. However, the industry failed to predict the scale of China's production increases, which led to a global oversupply. As Chinese aluminum remained self-sufficient and inventories grew, prices remained low despite strong overall demand growth. The crisis reflects a long-term structural change of China's dominance in production that has depressed prices industry-wide.
