The price of copper on the London Metal Exchange has risen over 27% so far in 2008, in large part due to China-led demand and accompanying US inventory depletion. Since 2001, the price of the metal has increased approximately five times. By 2009, copper supply will still be limited and price will remain high. China is the worlds biggest copper user, with consumption expected to reach five million tons in 2008. In addition, Chinas hosting of the 2008 Olympics will give rise to an Olympic boom that will boost domestic consumption.
Chinas domestic consumption, investment and import of copper are all expected to maintain rapid growth in 2008. China has the capacity to produce 1.5 million tons of refined copper and more than 1.8 million tons of processed copper products yearly. China is working hard to fill the demand gap through investment - during 1995-2005, there was an obvious surge in the number of smelting plants in China. However, the huge difference must rely on imports, which increased 33% in January 2008. The industry is booming, and provides a huge arena of opportunity for many foreign businesses.
