The year 2019 can be called the aftermath of trade wars, restrictive tariffs, sanctions, capacity cuts and price volatility that impacted the aluminium value chain the year earlier. 2019 has experienced a steady drop in alumina and aluminium prices worsened by weak market fundamentals and falling demand for the metal, globally and in China. Slowdown in global economy resulted in a downturn in the global automotive sector and saturated growth in the construction and aerospace segment further putting pressure on the demand. With lowered demand forecast coming from the industry players and market participants, it has become imperative for us to get the industry leaders’ outlook on the coming year, who have been playing a key role in driving aluminium industry growth.
