102 suppliers are actively offering Aluminium Wire Scrap, with 22 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This level of activity shows a steady flow of fresh supply, meaning buyers can expect current pricing and availability to reflect real-time market shifts rather than outdated data. The consistent updates also suggest suppliers are responsive to buyer needs, which helps reduce the risk of long delays in sourcing. There are 1141 active listings for Aluminium Wire Scrap, offering a wide range of grades, lengths, and packaging options. This depth means buyers can quickly find a match for their specific requirements without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. The volume also signals that suppliers treat this category as a core part of their operations, not a side offering. Suppliers come from 24 different countries, with Tanzania making up 16.7% of the total. This broad geographic spread gives buyers significant flexibility in sourcing — they can choose based on cost, logistics, or compliance needs without being locked into a single region. It also reduces dependency on any one country’s supply chain disruptions. 63 buyer inquiries came in over the last 30 days, a slight drop of 1.6% compared to the previous period. While demand is stable, the small decline suggests buyers are not rushing to place orders, which may mean suppliers have room to respond to new requests without immediate pressure. This stability can help buyers plan procurement cycles with more confidence.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminium Wire Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 7 November 2026 - 1,141 active listings and 390 buyer requests, with 124 source documents and 1,106 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
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 Wire 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.
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 Wire Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
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.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
