Copper's all-time high of $5.20/lb (May 2024) equals approximately $5.30/lb in 2026 dollars. The 1980 oil-crisis high of $1.48/lb equals ~$5.60/lb in today's money, suggesting copper is near its real-terms peak. Source: COMEX historical data, BLS CPI.
Copper tends to be strongest in Q1 (Jan–Mar) driven by Chinese post-New Year restocking and construction season ramp-up. Weakness in Jun–Aug reflects Northern Hemisphere construction slowdowns. Source: COMEX monthly data 2000–2025.

Source: International Copper Study Group (ICSG) 2025, BloombergNEF. Total demand ~25.1 Mt. China accounts for ~55% of global copper consumption. A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses ~83 kg of copper vs. ~23 kg in a conventional ICE vehicle.
Unlike gold or platinum, copper supply is relatively diversified geographically. However, Chile's dominance in the Atacama Desert and Peru's Andes mines still create significant concentration risk. Declining ore grades globally mean new supply requires deeper, more expensive mines.
Source: ICSG, S&P Global Market Intelligence 2025. Total mine supply ~22.5 Mt. Average copper ore grade has declined from ~1.8% in 1990 to ~0.6% today, requiring significantly more energy and capital per tonne of copper produced.
Additional copper demand from clean energy sectors 2024–2035. EVs, solar, offshore wind and grid upgrades could add 5–8 Mt of annual demand by 2035 – equivalent to 20–35% of today's total supply. Source: BloombergNEF, IEA 2025.
Annual supply/demand balance (thousand tonnes). After a period of surpluses, structural deficits are projected from 2025 onwards as green energy demand accelerates faster than new mine supply can be developed. Source: ICSG, Wood Mackenzie 2025.
China's share of global copper consumption has risen from ~20% in 2000 to ~55% in 2025. This makes copper prices highly sensitive to Chinese economic data, property sector health, and manufacturing PMI. Source: ICSG 2025.
Copper content per vehicle type. Battery EVs use 3–4× more copper than conventional ICE vehicles. Charging infrastructure adds further demand: a DC fast charger requires ~8 kg of copper. Source: ICA (International Copper Association) 2025.

Cuivre et Transition Énergétique
Le cuivre est un composant essentiel de la transition énergétique : les véhicules électriques utilisent 3 à 4 fois plus de cuivre que les véhicules thermiques, et les parcs éoliens et solaires nécessitent d'importants câblages en cuivre. Les analystes prévoient un déficit structurel de cuivre dans les années à venir en raison de l'accélération de la décarbonisation mondiale.
