There will be a surge in copper demand in the energy market in 2024. The growing demand for copper contributes to different usages in the energy market. China stands out in the copper exports of 2024. The Chinese economy is booming, with an increasing demand for copper in the global energy market in 2024.

According to experts, the demand for copper in China has been low since the beginning of 2024. Despite the heavy production of electric vehicles, the Chinese economy faces staunch economic results in 2024. Earlier, experts believed electric vehicles were an essential game-changer in the automotive sector. The rise of electric vehicles will increase the demand for copper production; hence, it will regulate the energy sector, too. However, exports of Chinese copper will flood the global market in 2024. There is much demand for copper in the energy market compared to China's in 2024. Since global market prices do not pay higher than worldwide, copper manufacturers opt for global markets. Therefore, the Chinese economy faced many copper exports in 2024. The growing demand for copper in the global market influences China's domestic copper market. Hence, the surveys claim that the Chinese domestic market is under pressure regarding copper prices in 2024.

Based on surveys of 2024, the Chinese copper market bears a surplus due to the overproduction of copper and the slowdown in its consumption in the domestic market. Therefore, experts state that China should also focus on the domestic copper market. Simultaneously, the global copper market needs copper flows due to the growing demand for electric vehicles, electricity generation, and others in 2024.
