GlobalData's "Global Bauxite Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on the global bauxite industry. It provides historical and forecast data on bauxite production by country, production by company, reserves by country, world bauxite prices, bauxite trade and bauxite consumption. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global bauxite industry. It further profiles major bauxite producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by region.
Following 10.9% growth in 2025, global bauxite production is expected to expand by 8.9% in 2026 to reach 517.3Mt. The Republic of Guinea is expected to make the largest contributions to this growth, while Indonesia, India, and Guyana are also expected to support the growth trajectory with minor contributions.
Guinea's production is projected to grow by 18.5% to 207.3Mt, primarily driven by the resumption of operations across major operations. The primary catalyst is the late 2025 resumption of the Tinguilinta project under total state ownership, following a 15-month shutdown over domestic processing disputes. Supply recovery is further supported by the December 2025 restart of the AGB2A-GIC and AGB2A SDM mines after a seven-month permit suspension, alongside the September 2025 reactivation of the idled Bel Air mine. Additional volume scaling from the Elite Mining, Bon Ami, and Koumbia asset ramp-ups completes this growth trajectory.
