世界银行最近公布了对几种主要工业原材料的调查报告。报告指出,在今后的几年中,由于铝需求量上升和库存量下降,铝的价格将大幅度上涨。但要保持长期的持续上涨则可能比较困难。从现在到本世纪末,世界铝消费量将每年以1.6％的平均速率增长。其中,工业化国家和发展中国家的铝消费量年增长率分别为1.2％和3％。 The World Bank recently released a survey of several major industrial raw materials. The report pointed out that in the next few years, due to rising aluminum demand and inventory decline, aluminum prices will rise sharply. However, it may be more difficult to maintain a sustained long-term rise. From now until the end of the century, world aluminum consumption will grow at an average rate of 1.6% annually. Among them, the annual growth rates of aluminum consumption in industrialized and developing countries were 1.2% and 3% respectively.
