World alumina production grows 1.9% Y-o-Y during Jan-Nov 2024, partially affected by output curtail at Alcoa’s Kwinana refinery

In November 2024, the world’s monthly production of metallurgical-grade alumina was 11.508 million tonnes, down by 3.22 per cent from 11.891 million tonnes in October, in tandem with the dip in daily average output. In November, the production each day was 100 tonnes less, standing at 383,500 tonnes versus 383,600 tonnes in October. However, on an annual basis, the world’s alumina production in November was 2.2 per cent higher than 11.256 million tonnes.
