Domestic recovery boosts European aluminium foil deliveries

摘要

Following solid first quarter growth, led largely by exports, the second quarter of 2021 saw domestic deliveries of aluminium foil speed up rapidly (+8,8%) as European demand recovered from the pandemic crisis. Exports declined slightly but were more than offset by growing internal demand. At the halfway point of the year total deliveries reached 488.900 tonnes, 3,4% ahead of the first six month of 2020, according to figures released by the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA).
