    Aluminum smelters (unwrought producers) fall into two categories: primary and secondary smelters. Molten aluminum cast as unwrought products can be produced either through alumina electrolysis in primary smelters or through remelting scrap and pure ingots in secondary smelters. Primary smelting is a cost-intensive process; thus, such plants are usually large-scale producers that can be economical with large capacities. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.

    Aluminum smelting and the production of unwrought aluminum in Oman have mainly started after primary smelting began and Sohar’s smelters came online. Sohar Aluminium Company was established in 2004 and operations started since 2008. Accounting for almost two thirds of the country’s total unwrought output, Sohar offers its products to the market mainly as ingots or T-bars; however, the largest part of the company’s domestic sales is in the form of hot metal to downstream plants nearby, with ingots and T-bars being mostly exported. The other one third of the country’s unwrought output is by secondary smelters that produce alloys. Unwrought products such as slabs and bus bars are the most important ones produced by secondary smelters in Oman.

    Downstream sector of aluminum industry has developed significantly in Bahrain, as Bahrain has become one the major exporter of aluminum semis in the globe, while it is well-known as the second biggest primary aluminum producer in the region. This has raised its aluminum ingot consumption per capita about 10 fold above global mean. Among different sectors of aluminum downstream in Bahrain, more threats attribute to extruders.

    Having used aluminum scraps not only saves significant amount of energy but also lowers the production costs of semis, since it has lower price in comparison with primary aluminum. However, the better quality of semis produced by primary aluminum has affected the preferences of scrap use. This is dominant when aluminum prices are in high levels, making aluminum scraps as the main source in downstream sector.

    Development of geographical distribution of aluminum cans capacities, as well as growing demands have given rise to increasing global trade. Although aluminum price drops during 2015 and 2016, lowered the sale price of aluminum cans, but still trade of cans was dominant among those countries benefiting from preferential tariff. In the Middle East, trade of aluminum cans softened after ISIS’s rise. One of the most highlighted uses of aluminum cans is to produce alcoholic beverages, which are highly rejected by Islamic extremists.

    The majority of aluminum rolled products, being trading, is aluminum sheets and plates. However, aluminum foils which possess higher value-added in comparison with aluminum sheets and plates, have experienced slower growth in trading markets. The Middle East, well known as one of vital regions in upstream sector of aluminum industry, has met increasing aluminum rolled production and exportation. Bahrain after Turkey, was the major exporter of aluminum rolled products. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia’s rolling mills have become one of the most important competitors to Bahrain rollers in international markets, while have lately started production.

    Oman is the fourth biggest aluminum primary producer in the Middle East. The key downstream capacities have been developed close to the aluminum smelter in Oman (similar to elsewhere in the Middle East), so that they can easily access to the primary materials in form of liquid hot metal. Using liquid hot metal can save re-melting costs, giving rise to higher competitiveness. Although other producers in the region benefits from neighboring to smelters as well as utilizing secondary resources to feed their capacities, but semis producers in Oman negligibly bring scraps into use, leading to lower competitiveness in comparison with other producers in the region.

    Although Saudi Arabia has launched production of primary aluminum earlier than producers, but it has experienced appreciable development in downstream sector of aluminum industry. This has brought out more rapid growth rate of consumption per capita in comparison with the globe. Sheets and profiles as the main growing aluminum semis in Saudi Arabia, have encountered a drop in demand; however the demand is still above supply volume, providing strong enough drives for production growth.
