Press Release Body: RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled,
\"European Aluminium Market Analysis\" to its report gallery. The report reviews
Europe’s aluminium industry in context of the global aluminium industry. The
analysis of the European aluminium industry is done by taking five countries into
consideration based on their production and consumption level, economic stability,
and future growth prospects.

The European aluminium industry was ranked the biggest aluminium producer worldwide
in 2007, making it a vital region for the global aluminium industry. As per the
report, the European aluminium industry, after experiencing a slump in 2006, bounced
back in 2007.

Western Europe was the leading primary aluminium producing region in 2006, but the
trend reversed in 2007 and Central & Eastern Europe emerged as the top primary
aluminium producer. This region is expected to dominate the future primary aluminium
production and export, while Western Europe is projected to take the shape of major
consumer.

Key Findings

- Primary aluminium consumption of Germany is likely to cross 2 Million Metric Tons
by the end of 2011 at a CAGR of around 2%.
- Expansion of new bauxite mines is expected to drive the primary aluminium
production in France at a CAGR of around 1.55% during the forecasted period
(2008-2011).
- Increasing income is likely to boost the European home building industry, which in
turn will be a reason for high aluminium consumption during 2008-2011.
- Container and packaging industry, which is an aluminium consuming industry, is
projected to surge at a CAGR of over 2% during the period 2008-2012 in Europe.
- Russia is anticipated to be a major aluminium exporter in coming years with
exports of around 3.7 Million Metric Tons by 2012 end.
