China's 2023 aluminium imports surged due to robust demand from the construction, transportation, and packaging sectors, driven by the solar and auto sectors. Russia's primary aluminum exports to China increased by 30% in 2023, contributing to China's total imports of 1.06 million tons of primary aluminum from Russia. Furthermore, China's overall aluminium imports in December rose by 25.2% compared to the previous year, with bauxite imports also increasing by 12.9% in 2023.
