Over the past two years, the global traded bauxite market has undergone a transformational change, with China increasing its imports from 52 Mt in 2016 to an estimated 100.7 Mt in 2019. Supply-side dynamics have seen different countries and suppliers entering and exiting the market with a frequency not seen in other bulk material markets. Grades and prices fluctuate routinely, as do the perceived requirements of the major customers. And with the impact of COVID-19 profoundly felt across the globe, there’s no better time to receive export bauxite market analysis and intelligence from the leaders in the field.
This monthly publication provides readers with not only a snapshot of the market, including key prices, trends and news, but also CM’s unique assessment of different bauxite grades based on our benchmark Value-in-Use (ViU) assessment methodology. It is presented in the form of an easily digestible set of charts and tables, together with relevant commentary to provide further insights into the evolution and changing dynamics of China’s bauxite sector.
