Chile mines 23% of global copper concentrate, smelts 4.2%, Cochilco study says
Machine summary According to a study issued this week by Cochilco, the state copper commission, Chile accounted for roughly 23% of copper concentrate output worldwide in 2025, while 4.2% of smelted copper production globally was its share.

- Chile's share of worldwide smelted copper production was 4.2%, down from more than 13% in 1990, according to the study.
- Chile has Latin America's largest smelting capacity, estimated at 5.44 million tonnes of concentrate treatment annually, with plants operating at about 60% of nominal capacity, according to the study.
- About two-thirds of Chile's concentrate exports go to China, according to the study.
- Cochilco said that declining ore grades, delays to projects and disruptions to operations have limited concentrate supply, whereas copper demand has climbed alongside the energy transition, and added competition for raw material has come from new smelters.
