46 suppliers are currently active in the Aluminum Ingot category, with 10 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supply, meaning buyers can expect current pricing and specifications to be regularly refreshed rather than relying on outdated data. It also suggests that suppliers are maintaining engagement with the marketplace, which helps buyers stay informed and make timely decisions. 128 active listings are currently available, offering a broad range of grades, sizes, and packaging options. With this depth, buyers can find a close match for their specific requirements without needing to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote. The volume of listings also indicates that suppliers treat this category as a core part of their operations, not a side product. Suppliers come from 18 different countries, with Tanzania making up 19.6% of the total. This wide geographic spread gives buyers flexibility in sourcing — they can compare options across regions to find the best balance of cost, quality, and lead time. It also reduces reliance on any single market, which is especially valuable in a commodity like aluminum where supply chains can be volatile. Buyer inquiries dropped 26.6% to 152 in the last 30 days compared to the prior period. This decline suggests a temporary slowdown in demand, which could mean suppliers are currently less busy or buyers are holding off on new orders. For those planning long-term purchases, this could be a window to secure inventory at current prices before demand rebounds.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Aluminum Ingot gained 18 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 5 seen the month before. New offers are arriving at a much faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and availability. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers to ensure they reflect today’s market.
Is the market busy?
30 of the 46 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half of the total. The pool includes a strong mix of long-standing and new sellers, which expands the range of options available. Newer suppliers have less history to assess, so buyers must verify their consistency before placing a first order. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminum Ingot listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 9 October 2026 - 128 active listings, 34 buyer requests, 51 source documents, and 367 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 Aluminum Ingot 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 Aluminum Ingot, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
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.
