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 of unwrought aluminium between 2015 and 2025, serving as an important benchmark for evaluating export competitiveness, industrial production, international trade dynamics, and demand from manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, packaging, and construction industries.
Based on the validated data, U.S. unwrought aluminium exports fluctuated over the period, declining from USD 1,143.07 million in 2015 to USD 956.64 million in 2016, before recovering to USD 1,509.17 million in 2018. Exports weakened during 2019–2020, reaching USD 853.48 million in 2020, reflecting disruptions in global trade and industrial activity. A strong recovery followed, with exports increasing to USD 1,258.76 million in 2021 and peaking at USD 1,827.93 million in 2022 amid stronger global demand and higher aluminium prices. Export values remained relatively strong at USD 1,664.64 million in 2023 and USD 1,709.79 million in 2024, before moderating to USD 1,157.23 million in 2025, indicating changing international market conditions and price movements.
Overall, the dataset provides valuable insights into U.S. aluminium trade performance, export competitiveness, and supply chain dynamics. It supports international benchmarking of unwrought aluminium exports, analysis of commodity trade trends, and assessment of industrial and manufacturing performance. Policymakers, aluminium producers, exporters, investors, manufacturers, and researchers can use the data to evaluate export opportunities, monitor market demand, analyze price cycles, forecast future export performance, and develop evidence-based strategies that strengthen industrial competitiveness, improve trade resilience, and support long-term economic growth.
