Rolling mills need considerable amounts of investments. This has confined the distribution of rolling capacities across the globe, dominating trade of rolled products. Meanwhile, China has experienced the more rapid growth in supply market and the Middle East recorded the most quick growing demand market. Faster growth of demands in the Middle East in comparison with its supplies growth, let to deficit market balance, while the considerable capacities in the region are still inactive. The major exporter outside the region to the Middle East is China. It is expected that exports of China decrease in results of slower economy growth together with increasing domestic demands. Accordingly, higher utilization rate of rolling mills in the Middle East is expected.

- TRY: 50 ₺
Bauxite, the main raw material for producing of alumina, has always the greatest portion in production costs of alumina, though its share was permanently lower than overall shares of energy and caustic soda. Since caustic soda production is energy intensive itself, the price of caustic soda consistently changes with energy prices, making energy the key factor in determination of production costs of alumina. Growing trend in energy prices as well as higher bauxites are increasing costs of production in alumina refineries, which can undoubtedly affect their margins.

- TRY: 50 ₺
In addition to alumina, the main raw material in aluminum production, energy and petroleum coke have considerable contributions in costs of aluminum production. Hence, any changes to prices of these constituents have had notable impacts in cost structure of aluminum production. While the costs of supplies were decreasing, China’s strict environmental policies in 2017, switched the trend and consequently caused a surge in aluminum production costs. However, this also increased aluminum prices, which made wider margins for smelters. Since rising trade tensions can impact the sale prices of aluminum along with increasing trend of alumina supply costs, tighter margins are expected for smelters in near future.

Aluminum industry in the United Arab Emirates is the biggest industry outside of non-oil sector. Development of upstream sector of aluminum industry in the UAE not only brought out innovation of a unique reduction technology but also a considerable expansion of downstream sector of aluminum industry. This has given rise to a same level of aluminum consumption per capita with China, the major consumer of aluminum in the globe.
