China is changing !
They are emerging from been an industrial based society into a Consumer society.
This has already started which will mean :
More White goods for every family (Washing machines, Dish washers, Fridges, Microware, electric cockers etc....)
More Computers, TVs, Electric gadgets , etc...
More Cars and other personal transport
Lets have a simple calculation :
Population is 1.6 Billion and rising
Working force I would say more than 1 Billion
China has a unique family small struchture, they didnt have more than 1 child for many years, so this means a very high number of familys per city/ village etc..
If each family buy consumer goods containing a total of 10Kg copper (very modest estimate), then we will have and increased demand of 10 Million Tons in the next 5 years
This equate to 50% of the whole world demand !!
This will produce a huge demand that will outstrip all production
Dont forget :
India will be doing the same too
Electric Cars, Electric wind generators, etc...
The future for Copper is Bright :)
