Freshdi Market Insight

Make smarter Aluminium Scrap sourcing decisions with real market data

The United States holds 17.5% of the 57 Aluminium Scrap suppliers, with Kenya and Tanzania each at 14%, and 16 countries represented in total, so sourcing options are concentrated in a few key regions. Typical offers range from USD 300 - 450 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 350 median, which means price varies noticeably and buyers should verify grade and condition. Buyer inquiries fell 25.7% to 176 over the last 30 days. Buyers frequently request CIF, but suppliers rarely offer it — a 20.2 percentage point gap — so a CIF quote must be explicitly asked for.

-25.7% over 12m

Freshdi received 176 buyer inquiries for Aluminium Scrap in the 30 days to 9 October 2026, down 25.7% from the previous 30 days.

57 suppliers are actively listing Aluminium Scrap, with 12 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement—enough to find competitive pricing and terms, but not so high that every supplier is chasing volume. Buyers can expect a balance between responsiveness and reliability, especially since only 15 suppliers updated in the last 90 days, suggesting a stable but not rapidly evolving supply base. 318 listings are currently active, offering a broad range of grades, weights, and origins. That depth means buyers can quickly find a match for their specific needs without having to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote to be created. Suppliers come from 16 countries, with the United States making up 17.5% of the total. This wide geographic spread gives buyers flexibility to source from regions with different pricing, quality standards, or logistical advantages—especially useful when trying to avoid reliance on a single market. Buyer inquiries dropped 25.7% to 176 in the last 30 days, which may indicate a temporary slowdown in demand. While this doesn't signal a long-term trend, it suggests suppliers may currently have more inventory or lower urgency, which could mean better pricing or lead times for those who act now.

Worldwide, 243 listings meet 239 buyer requests - 1.0 listings per request, so listings equal requests and suppliers compete. India sends 104 of those requests (43.5%), and there the same 243 listings make 2.3 listings per request. With as many listings as requests, a supplier needs a sharp price or terms to win each request. Quote the global or India figure to match your market - the two are not interchangeable.

CIF leads the gap: more than half of buyer requests (57.4%) ask for it against 37.2% of listings (273 demand vs 485 supply observations). FOB runs the other way - 54.1% of listings against 30.2% of requests. A supplier able to quote CIF stands out.

Frequently asked about Aluminium Scrap on Freshdiprice · MOQ · trade term · payment · origin · certification

Aluminium Scrap prices on Freshdi range from USD 300 to USD 450 per metric ton, FOB, with a median of USD 350 based on 339 listings. The price spread indicates significant variation, so buyers must assess quality, origin, and condition before selecting a supplier, as the median reflects a central point rather than a uniform market rate.

The typical minimum order quantity for Aluminium Scrap is 20.0 MT, with a range from 10.0 to 28.0 MT across current listings. Buyers with smaller needs may still find viable options within the lower end of this range, though larger volumes generally offer better pricing and terms due to the scale of supply.

FOB is the most commonly used trade term for Aluminium Scrap, appearing in 54.1% of supplier listings on Freshdi. This term is standard for shipments originating from the supplier's location, but buyers should verify it explicitly since other terms like CIF or CFR are less common and may not align with their logistics needs.

A total of 27 suppliers list a certificate, with FDA_REGISTRATION being the most common at 2 suppliers, providing a strong signal of compliance and quality assurance for buyers evaluating reliability.

Methodology

How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.

Source

Every figure comes from Aluminium Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 318 active listings, 75 buyer requests, 243 source documents, and 2,243 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.

How ranges are read

Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Aluminium Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.

One basis only

All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Aluminium Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.

Gaps in percentage points

Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.

What counts as what

Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.

Update cadence

Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 7 days on a rolling 365-day window.
