Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the consumption of aluminum used in China’s automobile industry dropped by nearly 17% in the first half of this year compared to the same period a year ago. However, the demand for medical aluminum materials had a year-on-year surge.

Besides, the need for aluminum used in package and electronics also rose due to a change in lifestyles such as home isolation, remote education, and remote work.
