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?
Heavy Metal Scrap saw 42 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 11 from the previous month. That means a buyer can find updated terms or packaging options that reflect current market conditions. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure the most recent ones are considered.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 54 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. These suppliers have a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh perspectives or pricing models. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Heavy Metal Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 1 November 2026 - 402 active listings, 104 buyer requests, 50 source documents, and 467 supply observations from the same period. 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 Heavy Metal 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 Heavy Metal Scrap, 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.
