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 performance, supply chain resilience, and demand across construction, transportation, packaging, power, and manufacturing industries.
Based on the validated data, India's unwrought aluminium exports recorded strong long-term growth despite recent moderation. Export value increased steadily from USD 1.52 billion in 2015 to USD 3.81 billion in 2018, followed by relatively stable performance at USD 3.77 billion in 2019 and USD 3.92 billion in 2020. Export value surged to USD 6.97 billion in 2021 and reached a record USD 7.08 billion in 2022, supported by robust global demand, higher aluminium prices, and expanding production capacity. Exports moderated to USD 4.76 billion in 2023, recovered slightly to USD 4.88 billion in 2024, and eased to USD 4.20 billion in 2025. Despite this decline from the 2022 peak, export levels remained substantially higher than those recorded during the first half of the decade, demonstrating India's strengthened position in international aluminium trade.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into India's aluminium export performance, international trade competitiveness, and industrial development. It supports global benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, evaluation of commodity market dynamics, and assessment of manufacturing 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.
