1月5日，格力电器通过官方渠道发布《关于近期市场关切问题的说明》，承诺"格力家用空调不涨价"，并再次重申公司暂无"铝代 铜"相关计划。 格力的表态并非无的放矢，背后是铜价创纪录上涨带来的全行业成本焦虑。国际市场上，LME铜价2025年全年涨幅达42.52%， 2025年12月29日盘中更是触及12960.9美元/吨的历史高位。 国内市场同样呈现强劲涨势，据生意社监测数据，2025年12月29日现货铜报价101053.33元/吨，单日上涨3.24%，首次突破10万元 关口，较年初的73830元/吨上涨36.87%，较2015年的周期低点涨幅接近2倍。 公开资料显示，中国是全球最大的空调生产与消费国，但约80%的铜依赖进口；与之形成鲜明对比的是，中国电解铝产量占全球 60%，原材料供应可控性更强。 从成本维度看，铜占空调原材料成本约21%，而当前LME铜价已突破每吨1万美元，而LME铝价仅3000美元/吨左右，铝的成本优 势显著，"铝代铜"因此被认为是降低生产成本的有效路径之一。 | W | | | | LME铝 | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ...
