Market Overview
Brass prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 2.3% in Q2 2026 to USD 8,750.00/MT from USD 8,550.00/MT in Q1, tracking the broader copper and zinc metal cost environment. Globally, the average rose from USD 7,889.00/MT in Q1 to USD 8,066.00/MT in Q2, a 2.2% gain, following a jump of nearly 8 percent in Q1 alone. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 7,600.00-8,600.00/MT is expected, with elevated copper and zinc metal costs likely to keep this market firm across every region.
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy, typically composed of 60 to 70 percent copper and 30 to 40 percent zinc depending on grade, produced by melting and combining the two base metals in controlled proportions. It serves widespread applications in plumbing fittings and valves, ammunition casings, musical instruments, decorative architectural hardware, electrical connectors, and precision machined components, valued for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and acoustic properties. Because brass pricing tracks the underlying copper and zinc metal markets closely, this market's cost structure is directly exposed to base metal price swings tied to mining supply, smelting capacity, and broader industrial demand cycles. Copper and zinc metal costs, industrial and construction demand, and scrap brass availability are what drive prices in this market.
Brass Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Brass through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking elevated copper and zinc metal costs across the broader base metals complex. Steady demand from plumbing, construction, and precision machined component manufacturers should continue supporting consumption, with scrap brass availability remaining a key factor influencing the pace of any further price movement across major consuming regions.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of copper or zinc mining and smelting capacity, which could push prices higher than currently forecast. The main downside risk is a faster-than-expected easing of base metal costs combined with softer construction and industrial demand, which would ease some of the current price pressure.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 7,600.00 - 8,600.00 | Elevated copper and zinc metal costs keep this market firm |
| Germany | 8,400.00 - 9,300.00 | Strong industrial and construction demand sustains the highest cost |
| United States | 8,050.00 - 8,900.00 | Steady plumbing and precision component demand supports firmness |
| India | 7,400.00 - 8,200.00 | Growing manufacturing sector demand drives continued gains |
| China | 6,900.00 - 7,650.00 | Large-scale production capacity keeps this the most affordable market |
