PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2014) - Researched by Industrial Info Resources Australia (Perth, Australia) -- Global alumina prices have hit their highest levels since September 2011, and are showing no signs of stalling. The increasing demand for bauxite is predicted to intensify as alumina refiners in China, India and the Middle East ramp up production. At the same time, the market has seen major reductions in bauxite exports from India, and a ban on exports by Indonesia -- and Australian producers are in an ideal position to supply the growing demand.
