China is preparing to implement a significant policy change effective December 1, 2024. The country will eliminate the 13% export tax refund on aluminum materials, copper materials, and several other items, a decision that industry experts predict will fundamentally reshape the international copper market.
China’s Position in the Global Copper Market
As the world’s largest copper producer and consumer, China wields unprecedented influence over global metal markets. Each strategic decision from Beijing can trigger immediate and far-reaching consequences for international trade, making this latest policy shift a critical development for manufacturers and traders worldwide.
The impact of policies on businesses around the world
Analysis from the International Metal Research Group (IMRG) highlights three key potential impacts:
- Export Prices Expected to Surge 8-12%, directly affecting global pricing mechanisms.
- Supply Chain Realignment: The policy will force global businesses to rapidly diversify their supply sources to adapt to changes
- Competitive Landscape Transformation: China’s move could significantly erode its current market dominance, reshaping the international copper trade dynamics.
