Description
In Nigeria today, Aluminium is beginning to find application
not only for ki11:hen utensils but in construction, transportation and
packaging. At this time when the plans for establishing a smelter
capacity is being made, there is a need for an in depth 'study, despite
the poor da1B, to determine the aluminium demand forecast which
is inwluable for any practical capacity planning for such a very capi-
1111 intensive industry. Various method used for medium and long.
term forecasts in the ferrous and non-fwrous industry were exam~
ned as well as determining the main factors which influence alum~
mium consumption. Based on this a methodology was developed
and used in making aluminium demand forecast for Nigeria for the
year 1982 to 2.000. Direction for further work was also made.
