Purpose
To provide aluminium production, consumption and trade data.

Description
All six aluminium smelters and the two aluminium-rolled products producers in Australia provide figures to the Australian Aluminium Council (AAC). In addition, three of the four aluminium extrusions producers in Australia provide figures to the AAC (production by non-contributing extruders is calculated from the supply of metal).

Main data detail

  • aluminium metal production;
  • per-capita metal consumption (this figure is obtained from a combination of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and AAC statistics);
  • domestic consumption - ingot;
  • domestic consumption - rolled products; and
  • domestic consumption - extrusions.

Geographic coverage
Australia.

Frequency of data availability
Annual.

Reference period
Year ended 31 December.

Historical data
Data are available from 1972.

Products and services

  • Aluminium Industry General Statistics Sheet (available from the AAC web site at <http://www.aluminium.org.au> or telephone 02 6262 9155)
