After a flat growth of 1.1% in 2024, global bauxite production is forecast to increase by 4.8%, reaching 463.7 million tonnes (Mt) in 2025. Indonesia and Guinea are expected to contribute the most to this growth in 2025, with Australia, Guyana, and Brazil following closely behind. Indonesia’s production is projected to nearly double, rising by 85.9% to 14.2Mt, primarily due to the anticipated commencement of the Mempawah SGA and PT Borneo Alumindo Prima (BAP) projects.
Looking ahead, The analyst anticipates that global bauxite production will grow only marginally, with a projected annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 1.3%, reaching 494.5Mt by 2030. While Indonesia, Guinea, and Australia will continue to contribute throughout the forecast period, production will be offset by the scheduled closure of Brazil’s MRN mine in 2027.
