Top 5 Copper Producing Countries in The World

4. China 

Copper Production in 2023: 1.7 million metric tons

China is one of the world’s largest copper consumers and is ranked fourth for global copper production in the world, having a share of round about 9% of the global copper production.

Production of Copper in China grew at CAGR of 1.10% between 2020 to 2023. But due to the massive construction projects that happen in the country, China has to rely on copper imports from other countries. Though it should be noted that when it comes to refined copper production, China is by far the winner.
