Copper China 2025: A Global Catalyst for Innovation, Collaboration, and Sustainability
From July 9–11, 2025, Shanghai hosted Copper China 2025, drawing 32,466 professionals. The event showcased copper innovations, spark tech forums, and held 114 cross-border meetings to foster global industry partnerships.
- (1888PressRelease) August 02, 2025 - From July 9–11, 2025, the Shanghai New International Expo Centre became a key hub for the copper industry, hosting Copper China 2025, a major event co-organized by RX China and the China Nonferrous Metals Fabrication Industry Association. Co-located with ALUMINIUM CHINA and the Asia Automotive Lightweight Trade Fair 2025, the non-ferrous metals event attracted 32,466 professional visitors from over 100 countries. The exhibition reinforced its role as an important platform for industry collaboration, supported by two key pillars: a comprehensive Product Showcase Platform and a well-established Technical Exchange Hub. This combination not only highlighted the latest industry innovations but also fostered meaningful partnerships that will help shape the future of the copper sector.
Product Showcase Platform: Full-Spectrum Innovations Across the Value Chain
The exhibition presented a comprehensive view of the copper ecosystem, covering everything from raw materials to end applications, with a broad range of products representing various stages of the industry lifecycle.
Copper-based new materials: Industry leaders took center stage with breakthroughs that redefine material performance. Hailiang and Jiangxi Copper unveiled high-performance structural materials—titanium bronze, prized for its strength-to-weight ratio in aerospace and marine applications, and copper-nickel corrosion-resistant alloys, critical for offshore wind farms and desalination plants. Chujiang New Materials drew significant attention with graphene-reinforced copper composites, an innovative advancement in material science that enhances conductivity and reduces weight—properties that make it a promising solution for electric vehicle (EV) motors and photovoltaic energy storage systems.
Processed copper products: Precision manufacturing took center stage with products tailored to high-growth sectors. Jin Long Precision introduced ultra-fine enameled wires (as thin as 0.03mm), essential for miniaturized electronics like wearable devices and EV battery management systems. Tong Ling Nonferrous showcased flexible copper foil circuit boards, whose durability and conductivity make them ideal for 5G base stations and foldable smartphones—proving copper’s adaptability to the demands of digital transformation.
End-to-end ecosystem: Beyond core materials, the exhibition painted a holistic picture of copper’s journey from production to application. Smelting equipment from Bu Hui Machinery, designed for energy-efficient copper extraction, and smart testing systems from Jing Song Intelligent, ensuring precision in alloy composition, highlighted advancements in manufacturing efficiency. Auxiliary solutions, such as Kai An New Materials’ eco-friendly surface treatment agents, underscored the industry’s shift toward sustainability, completing the circle from raw materials to end-use.
Technical Exchange Hub: Accelerating Progress Through Collaboration
Copper China 2025 was more than a showcase; it was a catalyst for knowledge sharing and partnership, with initiatives designed to turn ideas into action.
Amid the copper industry’s rapid evolution and constant innovation, technological breakthroughs are pushing copper materials into new frontiers. The “Copper-Based New Materials for Advanced Applications Forum” brought global experts to dissect pivotal trends. At the forum, industry veterans and innovators gathered to dig deep into cutting-edge topics:
• Corrosion-resistant conductive components for renewable energy gear
• Flat-wire motor winding tech in EVs
• Interface strengthening of nanocrystalline copper composites
• Short-process closed-loop recycling of copper resources
They dissected new copper processing products, technologies, and applications — and unveiled how copper-based materials are reshaping industries: new energy vehicles, power grids, photovoltaic storage, healthcare, and green buildings. From lab R&D to real-world deployment, the forum lit up fresh ideas for the entire supply chain!
International Business Matchmaking: Leveraging RX’s global network, the event facilitated 114 cross-border meetings that turned connections into tangible progress. From long-term supply agreements for precision copper components (vital for electronics and automotive sectors) to joint R&D initiatives on advanced alloys and composite materials for renewable energy, these collaborations underscored the platform’s role as a bridge between global needs and Chinese innovation.
