China, the world's largest copper producer and consumer, is facing three major challenges: 1. Upstream resource bottleneck: limited growth in domestic copper ore, with external dependence continuing to climb; 2. Midstream processing difficulties: overcapacity in the copper rod and copper pipe & tube industries, with enterprises relying on exports, and copper plate/sheet and strip facing significant transformation pressure; 3. Downstream demand fluctuations: high copper prices suppressing end-use consumption, with new sectors becoming the main growth drivers. To promote the healthy development of the industry, SMM is taking the lead in compiling , integrating industry resources and optimizing information sharing to provide decision-making support for enterprises across the industry chain.
Hereby, SMM, together with Guangdong Feinan Resources Utilization Co., Ltd., sincerely invites enterprises related to the copper industry chain to join as co-production units and work together to produce the copper industry distribution map. Renowned enterprises are welcome to join!
