Copper Industry in Russia

Taiyou Research, October 2012, Pages: 55

The copper industry in Russia grew at a rate of five percent in the past five years and accounted for $6 billion in revenues. As copper is an excellent conductor of electricity the majority of production is used in the cables production process in Russia. The construction industry is the second largest buyer of copper, used mainly for heating, plumbing and ventilating. The average buyers are usually large companies.

Russia’s copper reserves are located in Siberia (70%) and the Urals (20%). A large percentage of Russian reserves are in the remote northern and eastern regions, away from major populations and infrastructure. While exploration was undertaken in these remote regions during the Soviet era, after the collapse, enterprises in the area sharply curtailed operations. Russia’s copper deposits vary in size and are composed of a variety of mineral types. The copper deposits in the country include ultramafic/mafic intrusion-hosted, VMS, SEDEX, strata-bound sedimentary rock-hosted, porphyry and skarn.

Norilsk Nickel is the biggest player in the market. Whilst it is possible to enter the industry, it does require significant capital outlay as it is essential to build production facilities. This constitutes a strong entry barrier and raises exit costs, which tends to increase rivalry in the industry.
