Global aluminium wire exports continued to show resilience in 2025 (as of data collected till October), reinforced by increasing demand from the power transmission, renewable energy, automotive and construction sectors. Aluminium wire remains widely used in electrical infrastructure due to its high conductivity, lightweight properties and cost advantage. This trend has reinforced the role of several key exporters that supply aluminium wire and conductor products to international markets.

According to the data of UN Comtrade, as of October 2025, countries, namely Canada, India, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Indonesia, Poland, Turkey and Hungary, emerged as the leading exporters of aluminium wire.

Their export performance has been shaped by capacity expansions, investments in downstream manufacturing, supply chain diversification and the global shift towards low-carbon aluminium production. Energy costs, trade policies and sustainability regulations have also played an important role in shaping aluminium wire supply and export flows.

Canada

Backed by leading companies like Rio Tinto and Alcoa, Canada is one of the leading global producers of aluminium, reinforced by a low-carbon aluminium supply. This provides a stable base for downstream products such as aluminium wire rods and conductors.

Despite the Trump administration’s heavy 50 per cent tariff imposition on aluminium, Canada remained the leading aluminium wire exporter in the global market.

As of October 2025, Canada exported 160,196 tonnes of aluminium wire to the world. Valued at USD 546.4 million, the country emerges as the leading on the list of the major aluminium wire exporters for 2025.  

India

India’s aluminium sector has continued expanding, led by major producers such as National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Hindalco Industries and Vedanta Aluminium. Capacity expansions and downstream investments have strengthened the country’s position in the global aluminium products market.

The rapid development of renewable energy and transmission infrastructure within India has also stimulated domestic demand for aluminium wiring products. 

Government initiatives aimed at boosting manufacturing competitiveness and export diversification have further encouraged the growth of aluminium product exports.

Till October 2025, India exported around 140,080.68 tonnes of aluminium wire, which amounted to USD 451.8 million.  

Malaysia

Malaysia has gradually established itself as a regional hub for smelting and manufacturing of primary aluminium (such as Press Metal Aluminium Holdings) in Southeast Asia. Investments in secondary aluminium production and recycling facilities have supported the development of downstream industries, including the manufacture of aluminium wire.

Taking the data of February and May on an average monthly output of 10271 tonnes, the aluminium wire shipment volume from Malaysia reached 105,066 tonnes as of October 2025.  This quantity amounted to USD 303 million.
