The CSPT group reached a consensus to reduce the production capacity of copper mines by more than 10% in 2026, resist unreasonable pricing, and prevent malicious competition [47][48][49] - **Electrolytic Copper Production**: In November 2025, China's electrolytic copper production increased slightly, with a year - on - year increase of 9.75%. The International Copper Study Group expects a supply gap of about 150,000 tons in the global refined copper market in 2026 [49] - **Demand Side** - **Green Copper Demand**: Renewable energy systems and new energy vehicles have a high demand for copper. The demand for copper in photovoltaic and new energy vehicle industries is growing [86] - **Traditional Demand**: The power industry maintains strong investment, while the home appliance industry is expected to have a front - high - and - back - low performance in 2025.
