The forecast for net receipts of purchased aluminum new scrap can stock clippings in the US shows a steady decline from 247.82 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 241.01 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.7% over five years, reflecting a consistent downward trend.
Short-term year-on-year variations indicate minor declines, signaling potential softening in demand or improved aluminum recycling efficiencies. In 2023, receipts stood at a similar range as forecasted in 2024, suggesting a gradual slowdown had already begun.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in recycling processes and changes in aluminum supply chain dynamics. Emerging policies on sustainability could also alter demand for recycled aluminum, influencing future supply and pricing structures.
