Global copper output to grow steadily in coming years – Fitch Solutions

Global copper mine production will see steady growth over the next few years, as a number of new projects and expansions come online, supported by rising copper prices and demand, research agency Fitch Solutions says. It expects global copper mine production to increase by an average yearly rate of 3.1% over 2020 to 2029, with total output rising from 20.3-million tonnes to 26.8-million tonnes over the same period.
