Description
Global aluminium demand to witness a revival in 2010 The economic slowdown, which has affected global aluminium demand, has been particularly severe in developed economies such as the US, Europe and Japan. The slump in end-user demand in these regions is expected to result in demand contraction of 3-5 per cent [year-on-year (y-o-y)] in 2009. Demand, though, is likely to improve from 2010 onwards on the back of a marginal recovery expected in the developed regions and moderate growth in China. Mirroring this trend, prices are expected to remain subdued in the near term, increasing from 2010 onwards.
