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 Million, 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 resilience, and demand from the construction, automotive, engineering, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing sectors. The dataset enables analysis of Switzerland's export performance and its evolving position in the global aluminium market.
Based on the validated data, Switzerland's unwrought aluminium exports demonstrated notable fluctuations while maintaining a relatively strong export base. Export value increased steadily from USD 94.79 million in 2015 to USD 213.06 million in 2018, reflecting expanding export activity and improving market conditions. Exports moderated thereafter, declining to USD 148.44 million in 2020 amid weaker global industrial demand. Export performance recovered to USD 202.07 million in 2021 and reached a period high of USD 241.47 million in 2022, supported by stronger international demand and favourable aluminium prices. Exports subsequently declined to USD 173.46 million in 2023, USD 141.59 million in 2024, and USD 114.88 million in 2025, indicating softer market conditions and reduced overseas demand while remaining above 2015 levels.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into Switzerland's aluminium export performance, industrial competitiveness, and trade dynamics. 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, assess market cycles, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, diversify export markets, improve supply chain resilience, and support sustainable long-term economic growth.
