As global electrification ramps up, electricity demand in major economies is expected to rise, driving a corresponding increase in demand for copper, the metal that powers the modern energy grid.
This graphic, sponsored by BHP, utilizes data from Ember, the World Bank, and the Lowy Institute to visualize the projected growth in electricity consumption and GDP per capita across five major economies between 2024 and 2035.
