Today Copper is not just a metal but is being considered as a strategic asset of the future. AI, green energy and national security—the foundation of all three is copper. For this reason, the Government of India has called it a strategic asset in its vision document and the US has included it in the critical minerals list. In this video you will learn how 10,000 year old copper has become the backbone of the AI world, data centres, EVs, robotics and solar energy. According to estimates, copper demand in data centers may increase by about 30% by 2030, while solar energy transition will require 12 times more copper. On the other hand, supply is becoming increasingly weak—discoveries of new mines are declining, it takes 15–16 years to start production, and natural disasters in countries like Chile have further affected output. This mismatch of increasing demand and decreasing supply is creating a long-term structural rise in copper prices. This is the reason why today the world is considering copper as “The Red Gold”, because there is no effective replacement for it.
