The main aluminium producing countries in the world are China, India and Russia. The growing production of aluminum -  foils, sheets, plates - in these territories has depended and still depends today on the strong demand of some specific sectors including that of transport, electronics, automotive and construction. In particular, China’s production of aluminium has surged from around 16 million metric tonnes in 2010 to a whopping 36 million metric tonnes 2019, thanks to the growth of these last two markets.
