Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the international aluminum market in 2012, highlighting the strong decline of the price amid the stock increase registered as a consequence of the economic crisis impact on global demand during 2008-2009. The paper highlights China’s dominant role in the evolution of aluminum market since in 2012 this country had a large share in white metal global consumption and production. It should be noted that China played an important role in the alluminium global supply while the aluminum-production may become unprofitable due to rising production costs and this metal declining quotations at LME - London Metal Exchange. Given the increasing demand for aluminum in various industrial sectors and the fact that the white metal is the most widely used non-ferrous metal, our analysis concludes with some prospects on the alluminium supply and demand in the next two years.
