S&P Global said on Thursday that growth in artificial intelligence, defence and electrification will raise global copper demand to about 42 million metric tons per year by 2040, up from 28 million in 2025. The consultancy warned supplies could fall more than 10 million metric tons short annually without expanded recycling and new mining, citing data centers and defence spending as key drivers.
