Data definition
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.

Reported in USD Million, the dataset tracks annual export values from 2015 to 2025, offering valuable insights into export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade dynamics, supply chain resilience, and demand from the construction, automotive, aerospace, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. It serves as a reliable benchmark for evaluating Saudi Arabia's aluminium trade performance and the impact of changing global market conditions. Based on the validated data, Saudi Arabia's unwrought aluminium exports followed an overall downward trend despite periodic recoveries. Export value declined from USD 1,322.65 million in 2015 to USD 1,133.99 million in 2016, before recovering to USD 1,210.49 million in 2017. Exports then decreased to USD 1,094.91 million in 2018 and USD 979.67 million in 2019, reflecting softer international demand and shifting commodity market conditions. Export performance improved slightly to USD 1,013.95 million in 2020, but the decline resumed with exports of USD 919.71 million in 2021 and USD 905.55 million in 2022. Export values fell further to USD 680.31 million in 2023, USD 626.48 million in 2024, and USD 449.94 million in 2025, highlighting sustained pressure on export performance and evolving global aluminium trade dynamics. Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Saudi Arabia's aluminium export competitiveness, industrial performance, and trade resilience. 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 market demand, forecast future export performance, and develop strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, diversify export markets, improve supply chain resilience, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
