During the exhibition, a total of six themed forums and 269 supply-demand procurement matchmaking sessions were held, drawing more than 20,000 professional visitors.

The 4th Central China (Zhengzhou) International Aluminum Industry Exhibition 2027 (hereinafter referred to as the “Zhengzhou Aluminum Industry Exhibition”) will continue to adhere to the principle of “serving the industry, promoting exchange, and driving transformation” and will be grandly held from October 15 to 17, 2027 at the Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. With the theme “Lightweight Intelligent Manufacturing, Green Future — Linking the New Aluminum Journey,” this edition will comprehensively upgrade its content and operation model, focusing on new materials, new equipment, new intelligent manufacturing, and new applications. It will build a three-in-one exhibition system of “premium brand for high-end aluminum applications + full-chain ecological closed loop + distinctive application scenarios,” supplemented by multiple targeted supply-demand networking sessions and high-end seminars to effectively ensure exhibition effectiveness and business conversion. We sincerely invite aluminum processing enterprises, equipment manufacturers, downstream application enterprises, scientific research institutions, and related service providers from China and overseas to gather in Zhengzhou and share new opportunities in the aluminum industry development.

Indian Aluminum MSMEs Face Cost Disadvantage, Struggle Despite Supporting Strategic Sectors
Indian Aluminum MSMEs Face Cost Disadvantage, Struggle Despite Supporting Strategic Sectors
India, though the world’s second-largest primary aluminum producer with an annual capacity exceeding 4.16 million mt, sees its roughly 3,500 downstream micro, small, and medium aluminum processing enterprises (MSMEs) trapped in a structural cost disadvantage caused by the import parity pricing mechanism for primary aluminum. This mechanism anchors domestic primary aluminum prices to an international benchmark plus tariffs, forcing downstream enterprises to pay import-equivalent prices even when purchasing locally produced metal. Yet these MSMEs support about 90% of employment in the aluminum value chain and supply critical materials to strategic sectors such as power transmission and transformation, renewable energy, railways, and EVs, while operating at margins of only about 5% and an operating rate of about 65%—a stark contrast to the nearly 98% operating rate and about 10% margins in the primary aluminum sector.
