China's nonferrous metals industry continued to grow steadily in the first half of 2025. According to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, the value-added industrial output rose by 7.6% YoY, with production of the ten major nonferrous metals reaching 40.32 million tonnes, up by 2.9% YoY. Fixed asset investment in the sector grew 16.1% YoY, with increased focus on upstream resources and emerging fields such as new energy applications. The industry is accelerating its shift toward high-end and green development.
In the second half of the year, the Association will continue advancing supply-side reforms, encouraging the orderly phase-out of outdated capacity and curbing disorderly, low-price competition, drawing on the success of capacity caps and replacement rules in the primary aluminum sector.
