Global Copper Market (by Mined Copper Production, Refined Copper): Insights and Forecast (2022-2027)

DELHI, India - Oct. 23, 2023 - PRLog -- Copper is a metallic element that is malleable and ductile. It is a great heat and electrical conductor. Copper is antimicrobial and corrosion resistant.

As a result, an increase in copper demand in the future years is projected to fuel the expansion of worldwide mined and refined copper output. The global mined copper market by production is expected to reach 24.48 megatons in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% over the projected period. Similarly, refined copper market by production is expected to reach 28.04 megatons by the year 2023 progressing at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecasted period. On the other hand, the global copper consumption is estimated to reach 27.60 megatons in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 2.3% during the forecasted period.

Top Impacting Factors:

Growth Drivers

• Rising Copper Annual Capacity in Renewable Energy
• Growing Use of Copper in Smart Home Applications
• Expansion of Construction Industry
• Increasing Manufacturing of Electrical Equipment      

Challenges

• Decline in Copper Ore Grades
• Challenges of More Mineral Waste from the Copper Industry        

Trends
