The Copper Market

Global consumption of refined copper will show steady increase over the next few years, driven by the demand of the power industry, a continued electric vehicle (EV) production and adoption rates as well as a positive global economic outlook for growth. Copper supply and demand outlook by Fitch Solutions shows.

Based on Fitch’s data, global demand for refined copper will outpace production and the market will be in deficit over the next few years. Fitch specifically forecasts the global refined copper balance to indicate a deficit of 247kt in 2018, and to remain under-supplied through to 2021.
