Since 2000, China has driven 75% of global smelter capacity growth and now dominates almost all global smelting and refining capacity (97%). This accounts for over 3 million tonnes of production and nearly $25 billion in investment.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2019, China has also added nearly 11 million tonnes of copper and alloy capacity, representing about 80% of global additions. Approximately two-thirds of these facilities produce wire rods, giving China control of half the world\u2019s fabrication capacity, with more expansion planned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChina\u2019s copper smelting industry has undergone significant evolution,\u201d said Zhifei Liu, managing consultant, copper markets, at WoodMac. \u201cIn the 2000s, a drive for stricter environmental and efficiency standards led to the modernization of smelting capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some semi-fabricators outside of China are struggling with lower utilization rates and higher operating costs, even with initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act. Additionally, there are no plans for new primary smelting capacities in North America or Europe.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ecfe8d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9ecfe8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Diversification Away From China?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81d4037 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81d4037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>Without China, which currently accounts for 50% of global copper demand, significantly more processing capacity would be needed to meet energy transition goals.<\/p>\n<p>WoodMac estimates that over the next decade, an additional 8.6 million tonnes of copper demand outside China will emerge, largely driven by growth in transportation, power, and electrical networks. This would require 70% of the world&#8217;s smelter capacity and 55% of its fabricator capacity outside of China.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly $85 billion in new smelting and refining capacity would be necessary to replace Chinese supply, but capacity outside of China has barely increased in the last 20 years, raising doubts about the feasibility of such a shift.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Pickens, WoodMac\u2019s research director for global mining, emphasized that meeting energy transition targets would require a significant increase in processing capacity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbb643f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cbb643f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/of.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OF-global-copper-market-faces-85-billion-gap-without-china-image-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-10175\" alt=\"Foundry worker pouring brilliant orange molten metal into a casting channel.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/of.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OF-global-copper-market-faces-85-billion-gap-without-china-image-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/of.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OF-global-copper-market-faces-85-billion-gap-without-china-image-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/of.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OF-global-copper-market-faces-85-billion-gap-without-china-image-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/of.sbwd.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OF-global-copper-market-faces-85-billion-gap-without-china-image-1-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dec52be elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dec52be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Compromise Needed for a Feasible Energy Transition\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b495cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b495cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>While efforts to mitigate copper supply risks are underway in various countries, China\u2019s overwhelming dominance in the supply chain makes &#8220;complete replacement unfeasible,&#8221; according to Pickens.

Financing these projects faces significant challenges, especially in Europe, where environmental and social resistance to new smelters is strong.<\/p>\n<p>The report suggests that without a dramatic increase in capital deployment and operational efficiency globally, decoupling from China will lead to a slower and more expensive energy transition.
