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, trade dynamics, and global demand across manufacturing, automotive, engineering, and construction industries.
Based on the validated data, Japan's unwrought aluminium exports remained relatively modest throughout the period with moderate year-to-year fluctuations. Export value increased from USD 53.92 million in 2015 to USD 76.93 million in 2017, before easing to USD 56.63 million in 2019. Exports remained stable at USD 56.86 million in 2020 before rising to USD 95.68 million in 2021, the highest level during the period, supported by improving global demand. Export value subsequently declined to USD 81.58 million in 2022 and USD 44.12 million in 2023, before recovering slightly to USD 53.18 million in 2024 and USD 51.81 million in 2025, indicating relatively stable but limited export activity.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Japan's aluminium export performance, trade competitiveness, and industrial supply chain dynamics. It supports international benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, evaluation of commodity trade trends, and assessment of manufacturing sector performance. Policymakers, exporters, manufacturers, investors, and researchers can use the data to monitor export trends, evaluate international demand, forecast future export performance, assess changing market conditions, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, improve trade resilience, and support sustainable economic growth.
