Aluminum Consumption By Country: Top 5

3. Germany 

Per Capita Aluminum Consumption: 31 kgs 

Germany’s per capita aluminum consumption is documented at 31 kilograms in 2022. This substantial quantity originates from imports because of the country’s limited domestic aluminum production. Since the country’s consumption surpasses its production, its imports of aluminum reached $26.69 billion in 2022, one of the highest in the world. Such import dependence highlights the country’s global aluminum markets for the German automotive and construction sectors. Therefore, international trade dynamics substantially influence Germany’s industrial output and economic performance. Recycling also impacts Germany’s aluminum industry as recycled aluminum constitutes a significant portion of the raw material used in aluminum production.
