Market research
How is Thailand’s aluminium scrap import market changing?
Full calendar years through December 2025, HS 7602. This comparison stays on the latest full years when you change the buyer-preview year above. The paid Snapshot covers January-July 2026 separately. Totals and origin shares exclude Thailand-origin (TH) entries, consistent with the product report’s sourcing scope.
Thailand’s aluminium scrap import volume was 14.7% lower in 2025 compared with 2024. Total import value on a CIF basis was 4.2% lower over the same period. Changes in value can reflect volume, product mix and unit values; they do not measure prices paid by individual buyers.
| Full year | Net weight (MT) | Import value (USD CIF) |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 491,387 | $821,455,116 |
| 2024 | 789,958 | $1,313,474,639 |
| 2025 | 674,130 | $1,257,708,336 |
What does the leading origin tell us?
USA supplied 33.5% of Thailand’s aluminium scrap imports by net weight in 2025. All remaining origins together accounted for 66.5%. This describes country concentration; it does not imply a single supplier or show any individual buyer’s dependence on that origin.
