Imports for the mineral increased in both China and Guyana due to demand from steelmaking end-markets improving, boosting demand for refractory products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imports of refractory-grade calcined bauxite in the US increased almost 50% last year against 2016 volumes due to the improvement in the refractories sector following growth in steel output, according to customs data released by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).<\/p>\n

US imports of refractory-grade calcined bauxite in 2017 reached 127,000 tonnes, or 47% above the previous year when the country took 86,500 tonnes, as per US Census Bureau figures.<\/p>\n

China and Guyana were the two countries producing bauxite for export to the US. Some 56% of total US bauxite imports came from China (71,700 tonnes) while the rest (55,300 tonnes) came from Guyana.<\/p>\n

Demand for material from both origin countries increased in 2017, with imports from China rising 34% year on year and imports from Guyana almost doubling its shipments, posting a 96% growth on an annual basis.<\/p>\n

While small volumes of material originated from India (3,290 tonnes) and Brazil (547 tonnes) in 2016, no shipments were reported from either country last year.<\/p>\n

Rising steel output across all producing regions in 2017 was a crucial factor behind boosting demand for products and driving revenues, major refractories producers, such as Vesuvius and RHI Magnesita, said.<\/p>\n

Availability of bauxite is currently tight on the international market, following a series of restrictions at mining and processing facilities in China\u2019s Shanxi province.<\/p>\n

This led to an increase in prices for Chinese refractory-grade bauxite, which are still holding at strong levels.
\nIndustrial Minerals assessed refractory-grade bauxite 85% at $450-460 per tonne fob Xingang as of March 22 assessment, up 62.5% from $270-290 per tonne assessed on March 23 of last year.<\/p>\n

Refractory grade bauxite 86% held firm week on week at $470-480 per tonne, up 63.8% on an annual basis, while 87% refractory-grade bauxite was assessed at $490-500 per tonne up 58.4% from the same time last year.<\/p>\n

Higher purity refractory-grade bauxite 88% stood at $500-520 per tonne as of March 22, up 47.8% on an annual basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
