China’s total output of aluminum processing materials and output of subdivided varieties in 2021. Data show that in 2021, China’s comprehensive output of aluminum processing materials is 44.7 million tons, up 6.2% year on year, including 39.53 million tons of aluminum processing materials after excluding aluminum foil wool, up 5.8% year on year; Production of aluminum sheet and strip (including aluminum foil wool) was 13.35 million tons, up 12.7% year on year; Aluminum foil production was 4.55 million tons, up 9.6% year on year; Aluminum extrusion material production of 22.02 million tons, year-on-year growth of 3.0%; Aluminum wire production was 4.4 million tons, up 1.1% year on year; Aluminum powder production was 160,000 tons, down 3.0% year on year; Aluminum forgings and other production was 220,000 tons, up 7.3% year on year.
In the field of aluminum product segmentation, due to the impact of the weak real estate market and the oversupply of aluminum template market, the output of construction aluminum will fall sharply in 2021, especially the output of construction aluminum template. In 2021, the output of building formwork profiles was 550,000 tons, down 52.2 percent from the previous year. In addition, the output of printing plate base and aluminum powder fell slightly, and the output of other subdivided areas were positive growth. Among them, under the influence of the “double carbon” target and the acceleration of the development of energy conservation and emission reduction industry, the output of aluminum used in photovoltaic industry, automobile body panel and battery foil grew rapidly. In 2021, pv profile output was 2 million tons, up 40.8% from the previous year; Auto body sheet production was 300,000 tons, an increase of 1% over the previous year; The production of battery foil was 140,000 tons, an increase of 1% over the previous year. Detailed statistics are as follows:
In 2021, China’s aluminum extrusion material output is 22.02 million tons, of which, aluminum profile output is 20.59 million tons, up 2.8% year on year; The output of aluminum tubes (including microchannel aluminum flat tubes) was 880,000 tons, up 4.8% year on year. Aluminum rod and other production was 550,000 tons, up 5.8 percent from the previous year. In aluminum, industrial aluminum production of 6.79 million tons, year-on-year growth of 10.9%; Construction aluminum production was 13.8 million tons, down 0.7 percent from the previous year.
In terms of the composition of the surface treatment of aluminum extruded materials, of the 22.02 million tons of aluminum extruded materials, the output of the surface treated aluminum extruded materials (only the internal surface treatment of aluminum extruded enterprises) was 15.95 million tons, accounting for 72.4%; The output of aluminum extruded material without surface treatment was 6.07 million tons, accounting for 27.6%. Among them, the anodized production was 3.6 million tons, up 16.1% year on year; The production of electrophoretic paint treatment was 850,000 tons, down 19% from the previous year; Powder sprayed production was 11 million tons, unchanged from the previous year; The production of fluorocarbon spray painting was 500,000 tons, 16.7% less than last year.
In industrial aluminum profile output, China’s construction template profile output was 550,000 tons in 2021, down 52.2% from the previous year. Pv profile output was 2 million tons, up 40.8% year on year; The output of rail transit body profiles was 90,000 tons, the same as the previous year; 3C profile production of 880,000 tons, year-on-year growth of 10%; New energy vehicle profile output of 330,000 tons.
In part of the output of aluminum sheet and strip, in 2021, China’s output of aluminum foil billet was 5.17 million tons, up 9.5% year on year; The output of architectural decoration panels was 2.35 million tons, up 9.3% year on year; Production of cans/capping materials was 1.7 million tons, up 9.7% year on year; Production of printing plate base was 500,000 tons, down 3.8% from the previous year. Production of auto body sheet was 300,000 tons, an increase of 1 00% from the previous year.
In part of aluminum foil production, in 2021, China’s production of packaging and container foil was 2.35 million tons, up 9.3% year on year; Air conditioning foil output was 1 million tons, up 5.3% year on year; Electronic foil production was 110,000 tons, up 10% year on year; The output of battery foil was 140,000 tons, an increase of 1 00% from the previous year.
