Chinese aluminum industry kept developing fast
. Primary aluminum capacity expanded tremendously, while the market also sank into great oversupply quickly . Slowing-down of Chinese economy also made demand for aluminum slow down and aluminum ingot price drop continuously . The production cost differs a lot in different regions and smelters, because power cost differs . Many smelters suffer losses, while the ones with low power cost still earn profit and they keep expanding capacities . Thus the distribution of Chinese aluminum smelting capacities shifts tremendously.
