As the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, 2026 marks a critical phase for the global copper industry, characterized by supply-demand restructuring, technological innovation, and green transition. Constrained by multiple factors—including resources, costs, and geopolitics—copper supply growth is limited, while new energy, new-type power grids, and AI computing power are generating substantial copper demand. The supply-demand gap continues to widen, and copper's strategic value becomes ever more prominent. Guided by the "High-Quality Development Plan for the Copper Industry (2025–2027)," China's copper industry is accelerating its high-end, intelligent, and green transformation.
