Mining and Non-Ferrous Metals Outlook

The broader mining and base metal sectors are shifting toward a value-added production model.

• $10 Billion Export Goal: The Turkish Miners Association (TMD) expects exports to surpass the $10 billion mark in 2026, targeting $11–12 billion by focusing on semi-processed and finished products rather than raw ores.
• Critical Minerals: Demand for copper, aluminum, and chromium is surging, driven by the global energy transition (EVs and renewable energy).
• Copper Crunch: Global supply disruptions are projected to push copper prices toward $12,500/mt by mid-2026, benefiting Turkish miners who can expand capacity.
