The data show that China is the largest alumina producer in the world. In 2010, the global alumina output was 56.355 million tons. China's alumina output reached 28.955 million tons, an increase of 20.14% year on year, accounting for 51.38% of the world's total. In 2010, China's apparent consumption of alumina reached 33.21 million tons, with an annual growth rate of 14.05%, net imports of 4.26 million tons, bauxite imports of 30.19 million tons, external dependence of 39.71%, and alumina external dependence of 47.26%.

With the rapid development of China's electrolytic aluminium, ceramics, medicine, electronics, machinery and other industries, the market demand for alumina still has greater room for growth, and alumina production will continue to grow. Based on 2005-2010 alumina production data, it is estimated that China's alumina production will reach 33 million tons in 2011, with a growth rate of 14%. In 2012, China's alumina production will continue to grow on the basis of 2011, with output exceeding 38 million tons.

In addition, in view of China's construction area continues to grow substantially year by year, and due to the continuous urbanization, the future prospects of the aluminum industry are very optimistic. China's alumina demand is expected to grow 15% to 38.19 million tons in 2011 and 42 million tons in 2012, an increase of 10% compared with the same period last year.
