World Bank trade data rank copper ores and concentrates import partners by value.
This statistic shows Taiwan’s copper raw-material dependence as a diversified but still concentrated supplier list. Brazil, Australia and Peru form the top tier, with South Africa and Chile completing the five largest suppliers. Unlike iron ore, the leading supplier does not dominate alone. The chart’s value is the contrast: a broad geographic spread, but still a top-five share above 78%.
