Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Unwrought Aluminium Export — – Unwrought Aluminium Export refers to the total monetary value of unwrought aluminium exported by a country during a specified period, measured in current U.S. dollars. The indicator is based on Harmonized System (HS) Code 7601, which covers aluminium in its primary, unworked form, including non-alloyed and alloyed aluminium. It reflects a country's export performance in primary aluminium and its participation in the global aluminium trade.
The data includes exports of products classified under HS Code 7601, including non-alloyed unwrought aluminium, unwrought aluminium alloys, primary aluminium in ingots, billets, slabs, sows, T-bars, and other unworked forms. It covers exports recorded by official customs authorities and reported through the International Trade Centre (ITC) Trade Map based on UN Comtrade national customs statistics.
The data excludes aluminium products that have undergone further processing, such as aluminium bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strips, foil, tubes, pipes, structures, castings, fabricated products, and finished aluminium goods classified under other HS codes. It also excludes aluminium scrap and waste (HS 7602), domestic production not exported, and informal or unrecorded export transactions not captured by official customs statistics.
About this indicator
Unwrought Aluminium Export — – Unwrought Aluminium Export refers to the total monetary value of unwrought aluminium exported by a country during a specified period, measured in current U.S. dollars. The indicator is based on Harmonized System (HS) Code 7601, which covers aluminium in its primary, unworked form, including non-alloyed and alloyed aluminium. It reflects a country's export performance in primary aluminium and its participation in the global aluminium trade.
Reported in USD Billion, the dataset tracks annual export values between 2015 and 2025, serving as an important benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade dynamics, supply chain resilience, and demand across construction, transportation, packaging, and manufacturing industries.
Based on the validated data, Australia's unwrought aluminium exports remained consistently strong throughout the period. Export value declined from USD 2.95 billion in 2015 to USD 2.36 billion in 2016, before recovering to USD 3.24 billion in 2018. Exports moderated during 2019–2020, falling to USD 2.58 billion in 2020, before rebounding sharply to USD 3.87 billion in 2021. Export value reached USD 4.13 billion in 2022, driven by stronger global demand and higher aluminium prices. Although exports eased to USD 3.54 billion in 2023, they recovered to USD 3.82 billion in 2024 and increased further to USD 4.07 billion in 2025, remaining close to the historical peak and reflecting sustained export competitiveness.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Australia's aluminium export performance, international trade competitiveness, and industrial production trends. It supports global benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, evaluation of commodity market dynamics, and assessment of manufacturing and mining sector performance. Policymakers, aluminium producers, exporters, manufacturers, investors, and researchers can use the data to analyze export trends, monitor global demand, forecast future export performance, assess market opportunities, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, expand export capacity, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
