核心观点 - 根据标普全球的研究，到2040年，全球铜需求将激增50%至4200万公吨，而供应侧面临挑战，预计将出现1000万公吨的供应缺口，这相当于届时预计需求的25%，构成对全球产业、技术进步和经济增长的“系统性风险” [1][2] 需求分析 - **总体需求增长**：全球电力需求到2040年预计增长近50%，为满足此需求，从现在到2040年每年需新增相当于约330座胡佛大坝或超过650座1吉瓦核反应堆的发电能力 [5] - **核心经济需求**：来自建筑、电器、内燃机汽车、交通、发电等领域的核心经济需求是最大组成部分，到2040年将达到2300万公吨，占全球需求的53% [6] - **能源转型需求**：来自电动汽车、电池储能、可再生能源发电、输配电以及发展中国家电气化的需求增长最快，同期将增加超过700万公吨，总量达到1570万公吨 [6] - **新兴需求向量**： - **人工智能与数据中心**：预计到2040年，所有数据中心的装机总容量将达到约550吉瓦，是2022年的5倍多 [7] - **国防支出**：由于国际紧张局势和新威胁的出现，全球国防支出到2040年可能翻倍至6万亿美元 [7] - 人工智能与数据中心需求以及国防需求这两个新兴向量各自预计到2040年将增长约两倍，合计带来400万公吨的额外需求 [7] - **潜在需求向量**：人形机器人被视为潜在的第五个需求向量，若到2040年有10亿台人形机器人投入运行，每年将需要约160万公吨铜，相当于当前铜需求的6% [7] 供应分析 - **供应峰值与缺口**：全球铜产量预计在2030年达到峰值3300万公吨，到2040年，若不做出重大调整，供应缺口将达1000万公公吨 [2] - **回收贡献有限**：尽管预计回收铜废料将从目前的400万公吨增加到2040年的1000万公吨，即增长超过一倍，但仍无法弥补巨大的供应缺口 [2] - **初级供应挑战**：要填补供应缺口，除增加回收外，到2040年还需要额外1000万公吨的“初级供应”（新矿开采）然而，若无重大投资，全球初级供应到2040年可能仅能生产2200万公吨，比目前还少100万公吨 [8] - **矿业面临障碍**：铜行业面临一系列挑战，包括矿石品位下降、能源和劳动力等成本上升、开采条件日益复杂困难、环境反对、漫长的司法审查以及来自投资者和政府的压力，一个新铜矿从发现到投产平均需要17年时间 [9] - **供应链集中风险**：约三分之二的采矿产量集中在六个国家，加工产能更为集中，仅中国就占据了约40%的总冶炼产能和66%的主要原料（铜精矿）进口量，这种集中度使全球供应和价格容易受到中断、政策冲击和复杂贸易壁垒的影响 [10] 战略重要性 - 铜被美国等多个国家认定为“关键金属”，因其是连接物理机械、数字智能、移动出行、基础设施、通信和安全系统的“连接动脉”，其未来可获得性具有战略重要性 [4] - 铜是电气化、数字化和安全的基石，每一座新建筑、每一行数字代码、每一兆瓦可再生能源、每一辆新车、每一个先进武器系统都依赖于这种金属 [11] - 确保更具韧性的全球铜体系需要多边合作和区域多元化，以匹配铜在人工智能时代作为电气化、数字化和安全关键环节的角色 [11]
