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, offering an important benchmark for assessing trade performance, industrial output, global demand, and competitiveness within international aluminium markets.
Based on the validated data, Canada's unwrought aluminium exports remained consistently strong throughout the period. Export value stood at USD 5.16 billion in 2015, remained relatively stable through 2020, fluctuating between USD 5.04 billion and USD 6.45 billion. A significant increase occurred in 2021, when exports rose to USD 8.11 billion, followed by a peak of USD 9.30 billion in 2022, driven by stronger global demand and favourable commodity prices. Although exports moderated to USD 8.08 billion in 2023 and USD 8.28 billion in 2024, they remained well above pre-2021 levels before easing to USD 7.49 billion in 2025, reflecting changing market conditions while maintaining a strong export position.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Canada'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, investors, manufacturers, and researchers can use the data to monitor export trends, evaluate international demand, forecast future trade performance, assess price-driven market cycles, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, expand export opportunities, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
