On December 6, 2025, Indonesia's state-owned aluminum company PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Inalum) disclosed key operational data: By the end of October 2025, the company's aluminum product sales volume had reached 236,500 mt, not only exceeding the annual sales target of 231,000 mt with a completion rate of 102.4%, but also achieving a growth of approximately 4.1% YoY compared to the 227,100 mt sold in the same period of 2024, delivering a strong performance amid the complex tug-of-war between sellers and buyers in the global aluminum industry's supply-demand landscape.
