Market Insight

Copper demand is forecast to double by 2035 driven by electrification of transport, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy generation. Chile and Peru remain dominant producers but face mine grade declines and operational challenges, tightening long-run supply. Nickel markets are evolving rapidly with Indonesian laterite ore reshaping the supply landscape for battery-grade material, while aluminum demand is underpinned by lightweighting trends across automotive and aerospace sectors.
