The curtain call for copper companies in the peak season fell slightly
In order to gain insight into the production and operational status of copper wire companies in May, a survey was conducted among 28 domestic copper wire manufacturers. Among these, 8 are large-scale enterprises with an annual output exceeding 10,000 tons, making up 28.57% of the total. Additionally, 13 medium-sized companies have an annual output ranging between 1,000 and 10,000 tons, accounting for 46.43% of the participants. Lastly, 7 small-scale enterprises produce less than 1,000 tons annually, representing 25% of the surveyed companies.
As shown in the chart below:
Regarding orders, 8 small enterprises reported monthly outputs of less than 100 tons, with an average operating rate of 70.94%. 14 medium-sized companies had monthly outputs between 100 and 1,000 tons, achieving an average operating rate of 67.07%. Meanwhile, 6 large enterprises produced over 1,000 tons per month, with an average capacity utilization rate of 89.67%. Overall, the average operating rate for copper wire companies in May was 71.41%, a slight decline from 74.06% in April, representing a drop of 3.7%.
One company shared: “The current copper market is not as strong as it was in previous years. Large enterprises can still manage, but smaller ones are struggling and considering shifting industries.â€
Another chart shows:

In terms of inventory, 3 companies reported inventories of more than 1,000 tons, while 15 companies maintain stocks below 1,000 tons for emergency use. Additionally, 10 companies have zero inventory, following a single-purchase policy to minimize financial risk.
Overall, given the weak global supply situation, subdued demand, and tight liquidity in the market, copper prices are unlikely to rebound soon. With the traditional peak season coming to an end, demand is expected to decline further. Frequent price fluctuations have led many companies to express concerns about this year’s performance, noting that copper consumption remains weak and downstream order capabilities are poor. Even if orders remain stable, profit margins are nearly nonexistent.
Most traders remain pessimistic about the short-term copper market and are looking forward to a potential recovery during August and September. Therefore, we expect the copper market to continue its weak trend in the near term, which may lead to reduced enthusiasm among downstream operators and ongoing difficulties in securing orders.
