Global Copper Mining to 2035

GlobalData's "Global Copper Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on the global copper industry. It provides historical and forecast data on copper production by country, production by company, reserves by country and world copper prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global copper industry. It further profiles major copper producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by country.

Global copper production grew by a marginal 0.8% in 2025 over the previous year to 22,869.7 thousand tonnes (kt), reflecting the lower production from key producing countries. Indonesia, Chile, Kazakhstan, Australia, Mexico and Mauritania contributed to the output contraction, lowering their output from 9 million tonnes (Mt) in 2024 to 8.3Mt in 2025 - a 7.1% decline. In contrast, these declines were offset mainly by the increased output from the DRC, Mongolia, Zambia, China, and Brazil.

Looking ahead, global copper production is expected to grow by 2.3% in 2026 to 23.4Mt. The robust growth will be supported by improved output from the DRC, the US, China, Mongolia, Zambia, Canada and Indonesia. However, declines in Peru, Australia and Mauritania are expected to partially offset these gains.
