Report summary
The global aluminium strategic planning outlook provides a detailed forecast of aluminium supply and demand fundamentals out to 2050. The near to medium term outlook for the aluminium market will be shaped by the fallout from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Although too early to fully assess, we are likely to see supply distress despite high prices and premia and elevated market risks. We think that there will be a reshaping of aluminium trade and supply-chain flows. The net result will be a volatile pricing environment. The long-term outlook will be shaped by decarbonisation with new capacity having to jump through ever rising hurdles. There is some comfort for investors as our calculations point to the average long-run price being comfortably above the inventive price. Nevertheless, the requirement for additional units of primary aluminium will fall as scrap based secondary metal increasingly does the heavy lifting in satisfying future demand requirement.
