Japan's non-ferrous metal consumption is mainly reflected in the manufacturing sector, the earthquake occurred in the second most important industrial area, and automotive, electronics and chemical industry hit the largest non-ferrous metals downstream. Among them, the earthquake in China's export of aluminum foil that most directly affect. Affected by the earthquake area (Fukushima and surrounding areas) for the Japanese manufacturer of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly concentrated in one factory by nuclear radiation and even long-term archiving.

The largest manufacturer of aluminum foil aluminum Eastern sun, said the company has with Japan to maintain close cooperation is expected to become the beneficiaries of the transfer of Japanese industry. But the short term, the Japanese demand for aluminum will drop. According to Al network statistics, Japan is a net importer of aluminum, aluminum consumption in Japan in 2010 2.154 million tons, accounting for 5.25% of global demand.

Copper area, the earthquake led to the closure of Japan's two major copper smelter, copper production in Japan accounted for almost 1 / 3.

At present, Japan earthquake has affected Chile's copper industry, Chile's government has threatened to flood all the country's coastal areas be issued a withdrawal notice in order to avoid Japan's earthquake could trigger a tsunami causing casualties, which will make Chile's copper exports are affected. Chile copper mine for copper traders have also been quick to adjust the export route, the export of copper products in Japan to China.

In addition, Japan is a major global demand for tin and nickel countries, short-term earthquake will also demand for nickel and tin, resulting in some negative impact. But East Sunshine aluminum secretaries office, said the reconstruction will boost Japan's consumption of non-ferrous metals.
