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.
