The novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in 2020 is a special year. The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia has caused a full impact on the global economy, and the aluminum industry has also been greatly affected. Under the unified command of the CPC Central Committee and the deployment of relevant departments, China's aluminum enterprises "double line operation" and comprehensively promoted the epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production. The epidemic prevention and control effect was remarkable, and the production and operation of aluminum smelting industry developed smoothly. Under the continuous promotion of the supply side structural reform policy, the aluminum smelting industry as a whole realized profits. However, the overseas epidemic situation continues to spread. In the external environment of sluggish world economy, shrinking global market and rising trade protectionism, all kinds of instability and uncertainty are obviously enhanced, and the development of China's aluminum industry is also facing a series of new problems and challenges.

    In order to meet the new challenges faced by China's economic development, the CPC Central Committee has put forward a major strategic plan to accelerate the formation of a "new development pattern with the domestic major cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other". The aluminum industry should also adjust its focus to this direction, and should closely follow the pace of macroeconomic regulation and control, and accelerate the formation of a new strategic development pattern of "domestic and international dual cycle" We should firmly grasp the strategic basis point of expanding domestic demand, make every effort to expand overseas markets, make better use of domestic and international markets and resources, and better promote the high-quality development of China's aluminum industry.

    With the domestic large cycle as the main body, for the aluminum industry, the first thing to bear the brunt is to speed up the application of aluminum market. At present, China is speeding up the construction of new infrastructure and promoting the major regional development strategy, which will produce a new round of pulling effect on domestic investment and consumption demand. The aluminum industry should be good at seizing this opportunity and accelerating the development of aluminum application market in new fields.

    While building a new pattern of expanding the aluminum application market, we should also focus on the development of two dimensions: one is the horizontal field; the other is the deep field.

    The horizontal field includes various new aluminum fields. For example, in recent years, the application of aluminum instead of wood, aluminum instead of steel, aluminum instead of plastic in transportation, construction, home furnishing, packaging and other fields has achieved remarkable results and won the favor of consumers.

    At present, China has a global complete and large-scale industrial system, strong production capacity and perfect supporting capacity. It has a super large-scale domestic demand market formed by more than 100 million market subjects and 1.4 billion people including more than 400 million middle-income groups. It is in the stage of rapid development of new industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, and the aluminum demand potential in the future will remain It's big. According to the current per capita aluminum consumption data in China, there is still a big gap compared with developed countries in Europe and America. According to relevant data, China's per capita aluminum consumption in 2019 is 27.9kg, while that of the United States is about 40kg, and that of Germany in 2016 is about 42.1kg. Therefore, China's per capita aluminum consumption market space is still very potential, China's aluminum industry should seize this opportunity to achieve rapid expansion of aluminum application field.

    In addition, it is necessary to extend the market space of aluminum application in the deep field, strengthen the development of aluminum industrial process technology, and break through the application bottleneck of high-end market field. Over the years, although China has been a big country in aluminum production and consumption, it is not a strong country in aluminum production. Many high-end application aluminum materials still need to meet the demand through import channels. Therefore, we must overcome the difficulties, bravely meet the difficulties, firmly grasp the "nose" of scientific and technological innovation, and open up the high-end aluminum application market.

    To expand the application of aluminum, we need to take the initiative. We should not wait for its success. Aluminum application market is very wide, some fields have been developed, some areas are being promoted, and some areas have not been involved. For some application fields that are not familiar with, we should compare with the aluminum consumption market of developed countries in the world, actively find the consumption gap, and be good at mining the blue ocean of aluminum application market.

     On the other hand, it is necessary to broaden export market channels and optimize the new pattern of international trade. Export is a growth pole that can not be ignored to digest domestic aluminum production capacity, but also a big stage to show the strength of China's aluminum industry. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China's aluminum products have frequently encountered foreign "double anti" investigations. However, we should not lose confidence in the export market just because of the "double anti" investigations launched by individual countries. We should carry forward the spirit of struggle of "opening the way when meeting mountains and bridging bridges when meeting water", so as to broaden the international trade channels of aluminum industry, and form a multi-point blossom and a hundred flowers blooming from bilateral trade to international trade The new pattern of multilateral trade.

    As for the problems encountered in the export process, we can also adopt the strategy of avoiding peak to valley and taking a detour. For example, extending the industrial chain, processing aluminum products into aluminum products demanded by the international market, or forming an industrial chain alliance with relevant engineering and technology enterprises, or "bypassing" the export of a third country, etc. In the face of the current relatively complex international trade environment, we should not only be good at dealing with the differences, but also be alert to the hidden dangers in the industry. In short, the door of China's reform and opening up is opening wider and wider, and China's aluminum industry will share the development dividend with the world's colleagues, so our trade market will only become bigger and bigger.

    In a word, for the aluminum industry, it is necessary to see clearly the industry situation and seriously analyze the problems. We should not only have the overall situation consciousness of sharing the global economic industrial chain, but also have the strength to master the core technology. We should strive to cultivate new opportunities in the crisis and start a new situation in the changing situation. In the face of the challenge of the Communist Party of China, we believe that as long as
