Unwrought Aluminium Export โ โ 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 Thousand, 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 performance, and demand from the construction, automotive, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. The dataset enables analysis of export growth and the country's evolving position in global aluminium markets. Based on the validated data, the Philippines' unwrought aluminium exports remained relatively modest during the early years of the period before recording substantial growth. Export value declined from USD 2,011 thousand in 2015 to USD 416 thousand in 2019, reflecting weaker export activity and changing market conditions. Export performance recovered significantly to USD 2,029 thousand in 2020 and USD 4,692 thousand in 2021, supported by improving industrial activity and stronger international demand. Growth accelerated further, with exports rising to USD 15,665 thousand in 2022 and USD 24,185 thousand in 2023. Although exports moderated slightly to USD 22,676 thousand in 2024, they reached a record USD 29,865 thousand in 2025, highlighting expanding export capacity, improving competitiveness, and stronger participation in international aluminium trade. Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into the Philippines' aluminium export performance, industrial competitiveness, and trade development. 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 dataset to evaluate export opportunities, monitor global demand, forecast future export performance, identify emerging market opportunities, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, diversify export markets, improve supply chain resilience, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
