Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, 
 
As the conflict involving Iran continues to disrupt global supply chains, attention is once again turning to the structure of the international aluminium market. What role does China play in supply, demand, and market dynamics across the global aluminium industry? 
 
Against the backdrop of ongoing market uncertainty, Fastmarkets invites the global industry to International Aluminium 2026. The motto this year: ‘Together Through Volatility: Securing the Future of Aluminium Supply.’ 
 
In an industry shaped by constant change, resilience is becoming a key competitive factor. Automation plays a vital role in this regard. 
 
Best regards
