During the second quarter of 2024, the aluminium scrap market experienced notable fluctuations, influenced by varying factors in both domestic and international contexts. Throughout this period, the aluminium scrap market in India showed sluggish movement, with buyers adopting a cautious approach due to a minor decline in LME aluminium prices. This price dip was partly due to the relaxation in imported raw material consignments, which kept imported aluminium scrap prices relatively low and stable.

Market activity remained subdued, leading sellers to lower their offers in an effort to liquidate materials. This trend was further exacerbated by sluggish trade activities and a lack of significant upward fluctuations in the imported aluminium scrap market. Also, in the domestic market, prices of ADC12 alloy ingot, also experienced a decline as well.
This was reflected in the widening scrap-to-alloy price spread, indicating a growing disparity between raw scrap and processed alloy prices. The inventory levels of aluminium stocks in LME-registered warehouses surged significantly, reaching their highest levels since January 2022. This increase in inventory levels contributed to the downward pressure on prices, as higher stock levels typically signal an oversupply in the market.
Additionally, India's economic conditions played a role in shaping the aluminium scrap market. Consumer price inflation showed signs of moderation, primarily due to persistent food inflation, which influenced overall market sentiment. This easing of inflation rates, while positive for consumers, did not significantly stimulate purchasing activity in the aluminium scrap market, where buyers remained cautious amid the fluctuating prices and market conditions.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the price of Aluminium Scrap is expected to follow a complex interplay of factors, including international price movements, regional market dynamics, and broader economic indicators.

The aluminium scrap market exhibited mixed price trends throughout the second half of the year 2023. However, surprisingly, the aluminium scrap market performed better than the metal aluminium market. The scrap prices, though, started on a lower note at the beginning of the said period in July, impressively improving steadily for the next few months.
Though the movements in prices were very marginal and confined, the overall market sentiments were relatively positive in the gloomy times of global trade. At first, the monthly average prices in the European market went from around 1190 USD/MT (FOB) in July’23 to about 1130 USD/MT in August’23, showcasing a sudden decline of about 5%. However, the prices started to slowly incline after that and finished at about 1164 USD/MT in December’23, registering a 3% incline from August.
Analyst Insight

Aluminium Scrap Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
In the first quarter of 2023, the demand for aluminium scrap declined by almost 4 percent as compared to the previous quarters in the US and Canadian markets. However, the market conditions were still stable as compared to the previous quarters due to the increased interest of utility companies and the government in the electrical grid systems. In addition to this, the rates of exports to international buyers also inclined several folds while the import rates declined significantly, providing the falling market dynamics of aluminium scrap a cushion.
The situation in European countries was also the same as seen in the US and Canada. The main cause of fluctuations in the prices of aluminum scrap in this region was the low inflow of the product. The backlog of new orders placed continued to hamper the growth of the aluminium scrap price trend in the first two quarters of 2023. Further, the consumer sector in the region also seemed under the pressure of poor performance of the economy, rising interest rates, and soaring costs of energy production, which eventually led to a fall in the index of consumer purchasing potential.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the price of Aluminium Scrap is expected to follow an oscillating trajectory as the consumers seem to be suffering from uneven market conditions and negatively sliding economic conditions.

Aluminium scrap refers to discarded or recycled aluminum-containing materials and products that are no longer needed for their original purpose. It encompasses a wide range of aluminum-based items, including old machinery, vehicles, packaging materials, construction components, and various consumer goods that have reached the end of their useful life. Aluminum scrap is collected and processed through recycling facilities to recover the aluminum content, which can then be melted down and reused in various industrial applications, particularly in the production of new aluminum products.
