Non-Ferrous Metal Ore Mining in France industry analysis

France's Non-ferrous Metal Ore Mining industry mainly supplies the French Non-ferrous and Precious Metal Manufacturing industry. Therefore, they are highly susceptible to changes in industrial production as well as raw metal prices. This is why miners were significantly impacted by the pandemic, which caused metal production to dip and many mines to shut down temporarily. In 2021, as manufacturing resumed and demand for non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminium increased, so did the price of raw metals. According to IBISWorld, world copper prices rose by around 50% in 2021 alone. Overall, revenue for iron ore miners is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.9% over the five through 2025, to reach €3.7 billion. Revenue is forecast to increase by 0.3% in 2025. While revenue has increased overall due to price rises, miners faced declining revenue in 2023 as they felt the impact of falling copper and aluminium prices and slower demand in construction.

Trends and Insights

  • Revenue fluctuates in line with global metal prices. Metal prices are determined by the free market forces of supply and demand, so revenue is influenced by global forces.
  • Copper demand is contingent on the construction sector. Copper is used in a range of applications in the construction sector, so demand tends to pick up when construction activity rises.
  • Larger companies can pour investment. Large-scale miners have the financial and capital resources to invest significantly into their operations, helping to improve efficiency and profitability compared to smaller operators.
