Bauxite Mining in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Bauxite Mining in Australia

Australia is the world's largest bauxite producer, accounting for approximately 30% of global output, and ahead of China, Guinea and Brazil. Bauxite production in Australia is projected to reach 103.9 million tonnes in 2021-22, up from 84.9 million tonnes in 2016-17. Expansion projects at several bauxite mines have contributed to this strong growth in production over the past five years, increasing mine output to meet higher demand. While most bauxite mined in Australia is locally processed into alumina, exports are estimated to account for 42.7% of the industry's revenue in the current year. In contrast, competing bauxite imports are negligible.

Industry firms primarily mine bauxite, the raw material from which alumina and aluminium are produced.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
