50 suppliers are actively offering Aluminum Ingots on the platform, with 9 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement—enough to support competitive pricing and terms, but not so high that buyers are overwhelmed by options. It means suppliers are responsive to market signals, and buyers can expect timely updates when new specs or volumes are introduced. 120 active listings are currently live, covering a range of grades and sizes. With this depth, buyers can find a close match for their specific requirements without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. The volume also suggests that suppliers treat this category as a core part of their operations, not a side product. Suppliers come from 22 different countries, offering broad geographic reach. This diversity means buyers aren’t limited to one region’s supply chain, which is especially valuable for those seeking flexibility in lead times, compliance standards, or regional availability. It also reduces risk if one country faces disruptions or policy changes. Buyer inquiries dropped 15.3% to 160 in the last 30 days compared to the previous period. While the drop is notable, the fact that 9 suppliers updated their listings recently suggests that demand is still active—just temporarily quieter. Buyers should act now to secure current offers before the market cools further.

Aluminum Ingots on Freshdi have a median price of USD 1,200 per metric ton, FOB, based on 55 current listings. The price range spans from USD 1,100 to USD 2,211, indicating significant variation that buyers should assess by grade, purity, and origin. This spread suggests that while the median is a useful benchmark, individual supplier quotes must be evaluated carefully to avoid overpaying for lower-grade or less desirable batches.
The typical minimum order quantity for Aluminum Ingots is 50 MT, with the lowest listed at 50 MT and the highest at 1,000 MT. This wide range shows that while 50 MT is the standard starting point, buyers with larger volume needs have access to suppliers offering up to 1,000 MT. Smaller orders are rare, so buyers must confirm availability and pricing structure before committing to any order size.

This term typically involves a deposit followed by balance payment upon delivery, which is common in commodity trade. Buyers should confirm the exact T/T structure, including deposit percentage and payment schedule, to ensure alignment with their financial processes and risk tolerance.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminum Ingots listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 10 October 2026 - 120 active listings, 62 buyer requests, 46 source documents, and 328 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 Ingots 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 Ingots, 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.
