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 Thousand, the dataset tracks annual export values between 2015 and 2025, serving as a valuable benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial activity, international trade dynamics, supply chain developments, and demand from the construction, automotive, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. The dataset enables assessment of Sri Lanka's evolving position in the global aluminium market and changing export performance over time. Based on the validated data, Sri Lanka's unwrought aluminium exports remained highly volatile throughout the review period. Export value increased from USD 2,664 thousand in 2015 to a period high of USD 8,723 thousand in 2018, reflecting stronger export activity during the early years. Export performance then declined significantly, falling to USD 2,546 thousand in 2020 and USD 1,620 thousand in 2021 amid weaker international demand and reduced export activity. Exports continued to contract thereafter, reaching negligible levels with only USD 1 thousand in 2023. Export value recovered modestly to USD 559 thousand in 2024 before declining again to USD 1 thousand in 2025, highlighting inconsistent export performance and limited participation in the global unwrought aluminium market. Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Sri Lanka's aluminium export performance, trade dynamics, and industrial development. It supports international benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, analysis of commodity trade trends, and assessment of manufacturing sector performance. Policymakers, exporters, manufacturers, investors, and researchers can use the dataset to evaluate export opportunities, monitor market demand, forecast future export performance, identify emerging trade opportunities, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, diversify export markets, improve supply chain resilience, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
