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 an important benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade performance, supply chain dynamics, and demand from construction, automotive, aerospace, packaging, and manufacturing industries.
Based on the validated data, France's unwrought aluminium exports experienced moderate fluctuations throughout the period. Export value declined from USD 614.46 million in 2015 to USD 530.36 million in 2020, despite a temporary increase to USD 690.97 million in 2017. Export performance improved significantly in 2021, rising to USD 873.92 million, and remained strong at USD 888.04 million in 2022, supported by stronger international demand, recovering industrial production, and favourable aluminium prices. Exports moderated to USD 663.88 million in 2023 before recovering to USD 825.32 million in 2024. Export value remained relatively stable at USD 805.26 million in 2025, indicating resilient trade performance despite evolving global market conditions.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into France's aluminium export performance, trade competitiveness, and industrial supply chain 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 data to evaluate export opportunities, monitor international demand, analyze market and price cycles, forecast future export performance, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, improve trade resilience, expand export markets, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
