US production of aluminum, 1940–2014. Data from USGS. The aluminum industry in the United States in 2023 produced 860 thousand metric tons of aluminum from refined metal ore (primary production), at six smelters. In addition, US industry recycled 3.4 million tons of aluminum (so-called secondary production aluminum). [1]
This is a list of countries by primary aluminium production in 2023. [1] Primary aluminium is produced from aluminium oxide which is obtained from bauxite and excludes recycled aluminium. Only countries with a minimum production of 100,000 tonnes are listed.
In 2000, the U.S. was the largest producer of primary aluminum. The six remaining smelters in the U.S. now make up a small percentage of global capacity.
In 1914 and again in 1915, the US supplied 94 percent of the world's bauxite. Wartime aluminum demand for airplane construction during World War II caused bauxite production to jump more than 16-fold from 1939 to 1943. In 1943, US bauxite production peaked at 6.3 million tons, then fell back to 1.0 million tons in 1945.
