Steven Enders, an expert in exploration and production, projects a significant deficit in copper supply by 2050, stating that current and planned projects will be insufficient to meet demand. He suggests that the market may need to rely on price increases or potentially substitution, though he believes copper is a superior metal.
“And it doesn't really make a difference which forecast you look at. The demand for copper say out to 2050 is more than we can supply with what we currently have.”
“So there's a big gap there. And I'm not exactly sure what's going to break.”
“I'm a huge bull on on copper from a a demand perspective, a price perspective.”
