S&P Global Market Intelligence commodities outlook projects global metals sector set to continue rebound in 2022 amid driving growth in electronic vehicles energy transition in key markets

Published

on

 

The metals sector is set to continue its rebound from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through 2022. According to the newly released 2022 Metals and Mining Outlook from S&P Global Market Intelligence, pent-up consumer spending, government stimulus efforts and the accelerating energy transition will continue to drive demand, prices and exploration budgets.

Published by S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Metals and Mining Research team, the report spotlights the upswing in demand growth as driving prices higher across a range of metals in the medium term. While prices may moderate through 2022 as pandemic supply issues ease, building demand — due to factors including the growth of the electric vehicle sector and the energy transition — should set the stage for historically above-average prices through to 2025. The expected increase in demand and strong prices will help drive exploration budgets up to 15% higher in 2022, though they will remain below the $20.5 billion record seen in 2012.

“While we anticipate that metals prices will slip moderately in 2022 from their current highs, medium-term supply constraints are setting the stage for historically above-average prices through to 2025 – driven mostly by increasing demand for materials used in the accelerating global energy transition,” said Mark Ferguson, research director with S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Metals and Mining Research team.

Key highlights from the report include:

  • Financings by junior and intermediate companies totaled $14.8 billion for the first nine months of 2021 — well above the $12.1 billion raised in all of 2020. Should this trend continue through the first few months of 2022, we expect the year’s global exploration budget total to be 5%-15% above 2021 levels, led by gold and commodities key to the energy transition effort.
  • The combination of underlying market tightness, potential supply disruptions and project delays, global supply chain issues and power constraints is likely to increase iron ore price volatility into 2022.
  • We forecast global copper demand from solar and wind energy generation to reach 852,000 tonnes by 2022 and the growing electric vehicle market to account for 1.1 million tonnes in 2022.
  • Following a banner 2021 for producers amid high prices and relatively steady costs, margins are expected to remain healthy in 2022. Rising input costs and moderating prices, however, represent downside risks for margin levels across several commodities.
