国际铜研究组织（ICSG）于2025年10月7日在葡萄牙里斯本举行会议。来自全球主要铜生产国和消费国的政府代表及行业顾问参会，共同探讨影响全球铜市 场的关键议题。以下为ICSG对全球精炼铜供需平衡的评估： 全球铜矿产量预计在2025年增长1.4%，2026年增速预计升至2.3% 2025年全球铜矿产量增长率已从2025年4月预测的2.3%下调至1.4%，主要原因是Grasberg（印尼）和Kamoa（刚果民主共和国）矿山发生的重大事故对产量 造成了负面影响。 增长主要归因于Kamoa矿山（事故前）的产量提升、Oyu Tolgoi（蒙古）的扩建项目以及新Malmyzmine矿山（俄罗斯）的产量爬坡。 预计2026年增长率将提高至2.3%，得益于多个国家新扩建产能的持续释放、智利、秘鲁和赞比亚产量的预期改善，以及印尼运营率的恢复。 总体而言，原生精炼铜产量（来自精矿和湿法冶炼）预计增长3%，而再生精炼铜产量（来自废料）预计增长4.5%。 2026年，全球精炼铜产量预计将小幅增长0.9%。尽管精炼生产将继续受益于新增和爬坡的产能，但原生电解精炼铜产量的增长将受到精矿供应紧张的限 制，这部分抵消了湿法冶炼和再生（来自 ...
