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 Million, the dataset tracks annual export values between 2015 and 2025, serving as a valuable benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade dynamics, supply chain resilience, and demand from the construction, automotive, engineering, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. The dataset enables detailed analysis of Belgium's aluminium export performance, changing trade patterns, and its evolving role in the global aluminium market. Based on the validated data, Belgium's unwrought aluminium exports followed a predominantly downward trend throughout the review period despite temporary recoveries. Export value stood at USD 523.09 million in 2015 before declining steadily over subsequent years, reaching USD 178.02 million in 2020, reflecting weaker international demand, changing commodity market conditions, and reduced export activity. Export performance recovered modestly to USD 238.70 million in 2021 and further improved to USD 252.36 million in 2022, supported by stronger global market conditions and recovering industrial demand. However, exports weakened again to USD 194.04 million in 2023 before declining sharply to USD 57.98 million in 2024 and remaining nearly unchanged at USD 57.62 million in 2025. The sustained decline during the final years highlights significantly lower export activity and reduced competitiveness compared with earlier levels. Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Belgium's aluminium export performance, industrial competitiveness, and trade dynamics. It supports international benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, analysis of commodity trade trends, and assessment of manufacturing sector performance. Policymakers, aluminium producers, exporters, manufacturers, investors, and researchers can use the dataset to evaluate export opportunities, monitor global demand, assess changing market conditions, forecast future export performance, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, diversify export markets, improve supply chain resilience, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
