The primary aluminium producers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states collectively produced more than 5.4m tonnes of high quality primary aluminium in 2018 for the local and international markets. This was an increase of around 230,000 tonnes over last year as a result of improved efficiency and completion of modernization projects, with Alba sur- passing 1m tonnes production for the first time. Throughout the year, the primary and downstream aluminium producers in the GCC continued their drive to main-tain a leadership position on all aspects related to the environmental protection. GCC is also considered to be one of the leading and most dynamic regions for aluminium production in the world, con- tributing around 10% of the world alu- minium demand, and exporting 60% of its production to more than 65 countries around the world.
