Section 3: Investment

> This section provides insight into the opaque field of the impact of investor activity on the copper market and prices. GFMS provides an analysis of any publicly available data as well as information obtained through field research. A discussion of past trends as well as our view of what the key issues will be for the future are provided.


Section 4: Supply

> Copper supply is characterised by low levels of vertical integration and related to this there is huge trade in intermediate products – such as concentrate, blister and scrap. Another issue is the industry’s increasing reliance on mine supply from remote and inaccessible locations. Linked with this is the political and economic risk associated with next generation of copper projects. The Copper Survey analyses all the major issues affecting supply and assess their impact on future production levels.

Section 5: Trade Flows and Stocks

The section focuses on global trade flows in both copper concentrates and refined metal. It also provides an overview and detailed discussion of trends in global stocks of copper.

Section 6: Consumption

A particular focus of the report is end-use trends in key consuming areas, which are not analysed systematically in existing research on the copper sector. A significant part of the field research programme is directed towards establishing the latest data on such trends. GFMS calculates demand on both a country and end-use basis. The section also analyses long term trends in regional demand.
