Summary

Refining tactics

The fortunes of copper and other metal refiners are subject to the supply of mining output and demand from construction industries and electrical component manufacturers. Revenue growth is therefore highly volatile from year to year. Barriers to entry are also high, with hefty start-up costs and established players dominating the market.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting ores into nonferrous metals and/or the primary refining of nonferrous metals (except aluminum) using electrolytic or other processes. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
