Market Overview
Germany remained the priciest brass scrap market tracked here through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 6524/MT against Q1's USD 6408/MT, up 1.8%. Steady manufacturing demand kept a floor under the market, and the firmer copper and zinc feedstock costs added their own pull. The global average moved from USD 6042/MT to a value of USD 6151/MT, a similar gain of just a 1.8% percent. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 6085 to 6580/MT looks likely worldwide, supported by dependable manufacturing and hardware demand.
Brass scrap is recovered from copper scrap, zinc scrap, and brass turnings and borings generated during machining operations, then remelted into brass ingots for further manufacturing. Plumbing fittings and decorative hardware pull a substantial share of demand, the alloy prized for its corrosion resistance and workability. Ammunition casings, musical instruments, and industrial machining stock round out the remainder. Three things move the price: the copper and zinc feedstock costs, the manufacturing-sector demand tied to plumbing and hardware production, and the industrial machining demand.
Brass Scrap Price Forecast for 2026
The second half of 2026 (H2 2026) opened firm across every market tracked here. Germany and the United States both saw the steady manufacturing demand support firmer pricing. India's growing industrial machining sector kept the demand building, and China's large recycling base kept it the most affordable of the four, even as the domestic demand firmed alongside everyone else.
A couple of factors bear watching. A copper or zinc feedstock cost spike, or a stronger than expected manufacturing rebound, could actually push the prices past the top of the range. A slowdown in plumbing, hardware, or machining demand could pull the market below the floor instead.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 6085 - 6580 | Steady manufacturing demand and firm feedstock costs support |
| United States | 6250 - 6755 | Steady plumbing and hardware demand |
| Germany | 6460 - 6985 | Established manufacturing demand commands premium |
| China | 5935 - 6410 | Large recycling base keeps China most affordable |
| India | 5770 - 6235 | Growing industrial machining demand |
