According to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, nonferrous metal enterprises above designated size achieved total profits exceeding CNY 500 billion in 2025, reaching CNY 528.45 billion—a 25.6% year-on-year increase and a historic high.
By metal type, aluminum, gold, and copper delivered standout performances, with profit increases of CNY 38 billion, CNY 21.2 billio, and CNY 17.7 billion respectively. These metals contributed 35%, 20%, and 16% to the overall profit growth of nonferrous metal enterprises above designated size.
Chen Xuesen, Vice President of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, stated that the core factors supporting the rapid profit growth in China's nonferrous metals sector in 2025 were primarily sustained high metal prices, continued policy dividends, and expanding demand from emerging industries. Regarding emerging industry demand, the upgrading, iteration, and expansion of downstream application fields have created new growth drivers for the nonferrous metals sector. The rapid development of strategic emerging industries such as aerospace, new energy, next-generation information technology, and artificial intelligence has continuously expanded market demand for nonferrous metal products.
“This demand-driven momentum, centered on ‘new quality productive forces,’ is accelerating the industry's product structure upgrade toward high-value-added sectors, injecting impetus into profit growth,” Chen Xuesen said.
