Recently, relevant authorities have released positive forecasts for the future development of the non-ferrous metal industry. It is expected that the industry will show a steady growth trend from 2025 to 2026.

Specifically, the value-added in the non-ferrous metals industry is expected to achieve an annual growth rate of around 5%, and the overall economic benefits of the industry are likely to continue to improve. It is noteworthy that the output of ten major non-ferrous metals is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 1.5%.

In terms of resource development, the development of domestic resources such as copper, aluminum, and lithium is expected to make significant progress. This will not only help improve the self-sufficiency rate of domestic resources but also provide important support for the development of related industrial chains.

The field of recycled metals is also expected to achieve significant breakthroughs, with production likely to exceed 20 million tons. This achievement will greatly promote resource recycling and drive the industry towards a more sustainable direction.

At the same time, the supply capacity of high-end products will continue to strengthen, providing strong support for the upgrading of downstream industries. It is worth mentioning that the level of green low-carbon production and digital development is expected to continue to improve, which will further enhance the competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities of the industry.

Overall, in the coming years, the non-ferrous metal industry is expected to show a good development trend characterized by stable growth, structural optimization, and technological progress, contributing significantly to the high-quality development of the national economy.
