- Ranked by sites tracked, not by nameplate capacity. A site counts once, under the name its source gives. Another ranking may use capacity or area and order the same names differently.
- Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. The two are shown in separate columns and are never added together.
- Counts are sites recorded, not a census of the bauxite and alumina market in Global, and they grow as coverage grows. Nameplate capacity is reported for only some sites, so a blank means not reported, not zero.

How this data is built
Real Assets reads company pages, filings, news and listings, and records figures with a link to the page that published them.
Counts are sites Real Assets has recorded, not a full census, and grow as coverage grows. Sites are listed with the operator as published (the owner for industrial parks). Data updated 28 October 2026; this page was built on 28 October 2026 at 15:36 UTC, so the live app can show a few more or fewer sites and deals.
