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 reliable benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade dynamics, supply chain resilience, and demand from the construction, automotive, aerospace, engineering, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. Covering major exporters including the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, and other European countries, the dataset enables regional comparison and trade analysis. Based on the validated data, Europe's unwrought aluminium exports experienced notable fluctuations during the review period. Regional exports increased from USD 19,527.42 million in 2015 to USD 20,991.19 million in 2018, before declining to USD 17,744.44 million in 2019 and further to USD 15,731.87 million in 2020, reflecting weaker industrial activity and global trade disruptions. Export performance recovered strongly thereafter, rising to USD 26,112.49 million in 2021 and reaching a decade high of USD 32,550.63 million in 2022, supported by stronger international demand, recovering supply chains, and favourable aluminium prices. Exports moderated to USD 25,394.90 million in 2023 and USD 25,199.96 million in 2024, before recovering to USD 29,335.25 million in 2025, highlighting resilient regional export competitiveness. Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Europe's aluminium export performance, industrial competitiveness, and regional trade dynamics. It supports international benchmarking, commodity trade analysis, and manufacturing sector assessment. Policymakers, exporters, manufacturers, investors, and researchers can use the dataset to evaluate export opportunities, monitor global demand, forecast future export performance, and develop strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, improve supply chain resilience, diversify export markets, and support sustainable long-term economic growth across Europe.
