Bauxite is the key ore for aluminum production which is largely used in the automobile, construction, packaging, electrical, machinery equipment and consumer goods industries. Global bauxite production grew by an estimated 1.2% in 2020, over the previous year. The growth was mainly supported by higher output from the world’s second-largest producer, Guinea - with an estimated 25.1% increase. Meanwhile, production from Australia fell by 1.2% over the previous year. Rio Tinto, Alcoa, and Norsk Hydro are the top three bauxite producer in the world produced a combined 12.7Mt of bauxite in 2020 - up by 2.5% over the previous year. Rio Tinto is the largest producer, with output of 56.1Mt in 2020, up by 2% over 2019, mainly due to the ramp-up from the CBG mine expansion in Guinea, stable performance from the Pacific mine and additional volume from the start-up of the Amrun mine at the end of 2019. By 2025, the global bauxite production is expected to reach 406.7Mt, growing at a CAGR of 2.2% between 2021-2025. Guinea, Australia and Indonesia are the world’s top supplier of bauxite, with a combined 141.5Mt exports in 2020, compared to 118.9Mt in 2019. In terms of imports, China is the world’s-largest bauxite importer, with 101.6Mt in 2020, up by 0.9% against the previous year.
