2025-07-02

As of July 2025, the FOB price of aluminum sheets (such as 5052, 6061 and other commonly used industrial models) is roughly US$2,700-3,000/ton. The export price of aluminium sheets will be affected by many factors such as market supply and demand, production costs, and international trade policies, so the price will fluctuate. According to customs data, the average export price of China's aluminum sheets and strips in March 2025 was US$3,583/ton. Ordinary building aluminum sheets (such as 3003 series) are priced at US$2,700-2,850/ton, while high value-added products such as automotive structural aluminum sheets (6082, 7075) or aerospace certified aluminum sheets can be sold for US$3,000-3,300/ton, especially 7000 series hard alloy plates, which have greater premium space.

Key factors affecting the price of aluminium sheets:

- Raw material costs
Spot price of electrolytic aluminum: RMB 20,780–20,820/ton (price quoted by Changjiang on July 2), accounting for more than 70% of the cost of aluminum plates.
Alumina price: 2,850–3,100 dollars/ton, recent profit recovery stimulates production increase.

- Tariff policy
The US tariff on aluminum products from China has risen to 50% (effective on June 3), and direct export costs have surged.
The EU will impose a carbon border tax in 2026, and purchases must be accompanied by proof of the proportion of recycled aluminum (≥30% for tax reduction).

- Regional premium differences
Southeast Asia: Ordinary plates have a low price advantage (starting at US$2,650/ton), but be wary of anti-dumping reviews.
Europe: Hydropower aluminum premium of US$80–100/ton, requiring ISO14064 certification.
