Peru ranks as the world's second-largest copper producer after Chile. Following a marginal 0.7% decline in 2024, Peru’s copper production is forecast to rebound with 1.9% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth to 2.78 million tonnes (kt). Growth will be driven by planned higher output at the China Minmetals’ Las Bambas mine, where the new Chalcobamba pit, commissioned in in Q4 2024, will lift the complex’s output to 360-400kt in 2025 from 322.9kt last year. Additionally, Las Bambas’ Ferrobamba pit is also expected to deliver strong production in 2025.
Overall, Peru’s copper production is expected to grow at an annual compound growth rate of (CAGR) of 3.9% to reach 3,381.1kt by 2030, with sustained growth largely driven by the ongoing expansion of Las Bambas’ Chalcobamba pit.
