In 2023, China's unwrought copper and its alloys exports stood at a recorded level, setting a baseline for evaluating future forecasts. As of 2024, forecasts indicate a consistent year-on-year increase in export volume: from 364.95 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 402.49 thousand metric tons in 2028. This reflects a steady annual growth pattern with percentage increases suggesting gradual expansion. Looking back from 2023, there was a solid upward trajectory in exports forecasting continuous elevation through this five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in global demand for copper, driven by sectors like renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Geopolitical influences affecting trade relations and export regulations.
Technological advancements in copper alloy production and its impact on competitiveness.
