What are the top aluminum-producing countries? China’s output was the highest by far in 2020.
Aluminum is an important industrial metal used in a wide range of applications and considered a critical metal to economies around the world.
Aluminum is one of the Earth’s most abundant metals and is produced from cryolite and bauxite mining. This is because the two minerals are large sources of aluminum; bauxite is processed to create alumina, which is then refined to create aluminum.
Aluminum is one of the most in-demand industrial metals because it is extremely versatile. The silvery metal is non-toxic and lightweight, perfect for making food and beverage cans; it also has a high thermal conductivity, is corrosion resistant and can be easily cast, machined and formed.
