Summary and extracts

1 Synthèse du marché

1.1 Définition et périmètre d'étude

Le cuivre est un élément chimique (numéro atomique 29, poids atomique 63,55, symbole Cu) métal de couleur rouge clair, assez dur, très ductile, présent dans la nature aussi bien à l'état libre que sous forme de minéraux (chalcopyrite, azurite, cuprite, malachite) et contenu à l'état de traces dans le sol, les plantes et les animaux, antibactérien, excellent conducteur d'électricité et de chaleur.

C'est l'un des métaux les plus utilisés pour la fabrication de récipients, de pièces de machines, de conduits électriques, de pièces de monnaie et pour l'obtention d'alliages tels que les bronzes et les laitons. Le marché mondial du cuivre était estimé à 320,33 milliards d'euros en 2023 et devrait atteindre 454 milliards d'euros en 2030, avec un taux de croissance annuel moyen de 5,1 % sur la période. L'électricité et l'électronique, l'un des segments clés, enregistrera un TCAC de 2,2 % et atteindra 11,3 millions de tonnes métriques.

Ce métal a profité du redémarrage rapide de l’économie mondiale et de son statut de métal clé de l'électrification : sa valeur a frôlé en 2022 le seuil des 10 000 dollars la tonne au London Metal Exchange (LME) et s'en rapproche encore en 2024, ce qui représente son plus haut niveau depuis août 2011. Au niveau du marché français, la valeur de la production de cuivre a baissé de près de 200 millions d’euros au cours de la pandémie jusqu’à 700 millions en 2020, avant de se stabiliser à 1100 millions d’euros en 2022, avant d'enregistrer une nouvelle baisse de 160 millions en 2023. Mais il faut savoir que la France ne produit plus de cuivre à proprement parler depuis 1998. Ce qu’elle produit réellement consiste donc à fabriquer des sous produits du cuivre à partir d'importation de cuivre affiné et par recyclage de ses propres débris cuivreux.

La France étant une très grande consommatrice de cuivre puisque son économie en est dépendante, on décèle une balance commerciale très déficitaire ; elle ne produit par la fusion secondaire que près de 17% de sa consommation globale.

Europe goes on the offensive against Chinese fiber optics - 13/06/2023

Anti-dumping duties on Chinese fiber optics manufacturers are set to rise from 14.6%-33.7% to over 60% this autumn.
In 2019, massive imports of Chinese optical fiber had led to the temporary halt of production in several European factories.
Despite taxes, the price of Chinese optical fiber continued to fall.
Energy consumption is seven times more expensive for European fiber optic players than for the rest of the world.
Europe is currently 55% covered by fiber optics, while Portugal (91%), Spain (87%) and France (77%) are virtually covered.
Chinese fiber optics giants have bought up cable factories in Spain and Poland to produce locally and avoid customs duties.
