Copper’s next big shift: Is your model ready?

Copper is one of the world’s most critical industrial metals and a key signal for the global economy.

On the supply side, our granular data shows Chile remains by far the top producer, though private mines now drive output as state-owned Codelco faces challenges. Meanwhile, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia are up-and-coming producing nations.

On the demand side, high-frequency data highlights China’s dominant role: at its peak, nearly a third of global copper fed into Chinese real estate. Today, that demand is being transformed by China’s rapidly growing electric vehicle industry.

Watch our latest video on demand to hear from our economist how CEIC’s timely, local datasets on copper can help you navigate these shifts, build smarter models, and stay ahead of market-moving trends.
