  • U.S. tariffs spark a 3O% surge in scrap aluminium imports

    U.S. aluminium import tariffs climbed from 25% to 50% in June 2025, significantly spiking domestic premiums and recycling demand. Scrap imports surged over 30% in Q1 2025, enabling recyclers to bid more aggressively for aluminium UBC .

    Enhanced UBC market dynamics could favour processors like JD Metals, improving sourcing opportunities and pricing leverage.

  • Market Outlook 2O25: Aluminium prices expected to climb 6% amid tightening supply

    A 33-analyst consensus forecasts LME aluminium prices to rise ~6.3% in 2025 and continue gaining into 2026 due to tightening supply from China.
    Strengthening metal prices improve margins for secondary aluminium businesses, providing momentum for JD Metals’ growth strategy.

  • Global Can Market Tops $63 bn in 2O25, Forecast to Soar to $94 bn by 2O35:

    The global aluminium can industry grew from $61.1 bn in 2024 to $63.2 bn in 2025, and is projected to hit $94.5 bn by 2035 (CAGR 4.1%).
    Rising demand underlines increased UBC volumes and reinforces long-term market opportunity for JD Metals.

  • Recycled Can Market Headed to $5.9 bn by 2O34 – Europe Leading Recyclability Efforts:

    The recycled aluminium can market is predicted to approach $5.9 bn by 2034, with Europe leading the charge on high recyclability standards.
    This confirms strong regulatory and consumer tailwinds driving demand for high-quality recycled UBC.
