Aluminium Production Forecast
• The alumnium production in the Middle East is
expected to grow significantly in the short to medium
term
• The region is expected to contribute about 15% of the
total global production of aluminium by 2015
• Middle East traditionally has been exporting a major
portion of their production in primary aluminium form
• There are no significant downstream development
companies in the Middle East apart from the
exception of extrusion which are heavily focused
towards construction industry
Al. Production Consumption Downstream End-user

4. 76% of the aluminium produced in ME is
exported in the primary form.
85% is percentage of aluminium expected to
be exported by 2030
542 Billion USD is the money value of
pure energy exported every year
1266 Billion USD is the money value
expected by 2030
20 Billion USD worth of competitive
edge is being exported purely from a power
perspective
46 Billion USD is the competitive edge
expected to be exported, which is almost
2 times the GDP of Bahrain
Aluminium industry in the Middle East is
challenged by three interlocking crises:
Pure Energy Being Exported
Minimal Existence of Downstream
No Economic Value-add
Is Middle East Exporting Pure Energy?
The Middle East Region is Currently Challenged by the Minimal Existence of the
Aluminium Downstream Industries
The GDP of Bahrain is a comparison with the 2008 real GDP
