Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Aluminum Scrap sourcing decisions with real market data
The United States (15.9%), United Kingdom (14.5%) and South Africa (11.6%) lead the 69 Aluminum Scrap suppliers, with supply spread across 19 countries. Typical offers range from USD 300 - 450 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 350 median, so buyers should compare grade and condition to ensure alignment.

69 suppliers are actively offering Aluminum Scrap on the platform, with 13 updating their listings in the last 30 days. This level of activity shows a steady flow of new or refreshed offers, meaning buyers can expect current pricing and availability to be reasonably up to date—no need to wait for a long gap between updates. The fact that 22 suppliers updated in the last 90 days suggests a consistent, ongoing effort to maintain supply relevance. 458 active listings mean there’s a broad range of grades, weights, and conditions available at once. A buyer can typically find a close match without needing to start from scratch or request a custom quote, which saves time and reduces negotiation friction. This depth also implies suppliers are treating the category as a core part of their operations, not a one-off offering. Suppliers come from 19 different countries, offering a wide geographic spread. This diversity means buyers aren’t limited to a single region and can source based on cost, logistics, or compliance needs—such as proximity to processing hubs or environmental regulations—without being locked into one origin. Buyer inquiries dropped 11.7% to 188 in the last 30 days, which may signal a temporary slowdown in demand. While not a sign of long-term decline, it suggests buyers may be holding off on new orders, possibly due to market volatility or pricing adjustments—making now a good time to assess current offers 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 Scrap had 44 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 4 from the previous month. That means the current list reflects a much more recent market state than what was available a month ago. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to see which ones are most current.
Is the market busy?
38 of the 69 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half of the total. The pool includes many new sellers alongside long-standing ones, which increases the number of options but also means some sellers have less history to rely on. Review each supplier’s listing history before initiating contact.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminum Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 458 active listings, 108 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.
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 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 Aluminum 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 7 days on a rolling 365-day window.
