Export shipments of bronze from all countries totaled US$647.4 million in 2025.

That dollar amount results from an average 12% increase for all bronze exporters over the 5-year period starting in 2021 when bronze exports totaled $578.1 million.

Year over year, the value of globally exported bronze accelerated by an average 13.1% compared to $572.3 million starting from 2024.

Bronze is an alloy made by combining copper with a smaller amount of tin, plus even smaller quantities of such elements as aluminum, zinc, lead or silver may be mixed in depending on demands of the final usage.

The most popular industrial uses for bronze are as an anti-corrosion additive or for coating iron or steel, a process called galvanization. The metallic brown alloy is used in fittings because it is generally free from corrosion and does not oxidize after exposure with polluted water or chemically treated solutions.

Less brittle than tin or iron but more durable than copper, bronze is also a key ingredient for manufacturing ships, boats, valves and other machine components, coins and sculptures.

Key Geographic Insights about Bronze Exports

By value, the world’s 5 most lucrative bronze exporters are Spain, Japan, Germany, Italy and Brazil. Collectively, those 5 major suppliers generated nearly three-fifths (59.6%) of the overall dollar spend on exported bronze ores or concentrates during 2025.

Among continents, bronze suppliers located in Europe furnished the highest dollar worth of the brownish-gold metallic alloy during 2025 with shipments valued at $312.4 million or 48.2% of the worldwide total. In second place were bronze exporters in Asia at 33.8%, trailed by suppliers in Latin America excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean at 10.8%, then another 4.9% for providers in North America.

Tinier percentages came from providers in Africa (1.6%) and Oceania (0.6%) New Zealand and Australia only.

For research purposes, the 6-digit Harmonized Tariff System code prefix is 740322 for unwrought bronze also called copper-tin base alloys.

Countries Generating Greatest Surpluses from Global Bronze Trade

The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for bronze during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s exported bronze and its import purchases for that same commodity.

Spain: US$101.9 million (net export surplus up 10.4% since 2024)
Japan: $73.4 million (up 3.8%)
Brazil: $63 million (up 40.8%)
Indonesia: $52.5 million (up 28.1%)
South Korea: $36.5 million (up 20.8%)
Germany: $31.9 million (down -7.4%)
Italy: $30.5 million (down -22.6%)
India: $15.6 million (up 208%)
Portugal: $13.9 million (up 28.8%)
Canada: $9.8 million (reversing a -$1.7 million deficit)
Taiwan: $6.41 million (down -37.5%)
Türkiye: $4.1 million (up 5.5%)
New Zealand: $3.7 million (up 2.4%)
South Africa: $3.4 million (up 316%)
Paraguay: $3.2 million (down -25.2%)

World-leading bronze supplier Spain earned the highest surplus in the international trade of bronze. In turn, this positive cashflow confirms the strong Peruvian competitive advantage for this specific product category.

Countries Incurring Worst Deficits from Global Bronze Trade

The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for bronze during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the deficit between the value of each country’s imported bronze purchases and its exports for that same commodity.

mainland China: -US$137.4 million (net export deficit up 90.1% since 2024)
Thailand: -$50.3 million (down -8.7%)
France: -$24.8 million (up 19.2%)
Switzerland: -$21.2 million (up 19.9%)
Vietnam: -$10.4 million (up 1266.1%)

Poland: -$6.7 million (down -50.3%)
Sweden: -$6.4 million (up 0.8%)
United States: -$5.1 million (reversing a $7.6 million surplus)
Malaysia: -$4.7 million (down -6.2%)
Denmark: -$4 million (up 37.5%)
Austria: -$2.7 million (up 5.7%)

Mainland China recorded the highest deficit in the international trade of bronze. In turn, this negative cashflow highlights China’s competitive disadvantage for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for bronze-supplying countries that help satisfy the powerful Chinese demand.
