The impact of economic crisis was strong on the world aluminum sector. However, the industry picked up momentum driven by growing demand for the metal in developing Asian economies. Subsequent to the financial crisis, aluminum is seen gaining prominence as a commodity in the recovering construction and transportation sectors. The noticeable recovery in transportation sector, the largest end-user of aluminum, yielded effective results for the world aluminum sector. In addition, high level of activity in infrastructure development in BRIC countries augmented the sector’s prospects.
Investments are flooding the global iron ore industry due to rising ore prices, but in the long-run the industry would witness oversupplies of ore. Although this would fulfill the global demand for ore, the prices would fall due to oversupply. Any cancellation or delays in completion of the projects is expected to impact prices, broadly stabilizing the scenario. For the worldwide steel sector, the path has been a roller coaster since the onset of world financial crisis. Aggregate demand for steel from the major end-user sectors including automotive, infrastructure, and construction contracted significantly in 2008 and 2009. The sector, following the sharp drop in 2009, demonstrated a steady recovery in demand, production, and the re-stocking period in the year 2010. Economic uncertainty continues to bother the steel sector, especially in the US and European markets. The steel traders and distributors are maintaining lean inventory to protect themselves from any impact of further recession.
