2026 Industry Drivers

Key Forces Shaping the Market

  • 01

    Critical Minerals Race

    Lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earths are at the centre of a global supply chain battle. EV and battery demand is driving a 400% increase in critical mineral requirements by 2040. State-backed procurement, new mine development, and recycling economics are reshaping the $800B critical minerals market.

  • 02

    Agricultural Commodity Volatility

    Climate shocks, fertilizer supply disruptions, and export restrictions from major producers are driving unprecedented grain and oilseed price volatility. The $3.5T agricultural commodity market faces structural supply constraints as arable land and freshwater resources come under pressure globally.

  • 03

    Metal Supercycle & Decarbonisation

    The energy transition is triggering a structural metal supercycle. Copper demand for EVs, wind turbines, and grid upgrades requires 10 new Escondida-scale mines by 2035. Iron ore, steel, and aluminium face decarbonisation pressure while prices remain supported by infrastructure spending globally.

Commodities Research FAQs

Common questions about our commodities and raw materials market reports.

What commodity categories do your reports cover?
We cover metals (base, precious, and critical minerals), energy commodities (oil, gas, coal, LNG), agricultural commodities (grains, oilseeds, soft commodities), and bulk materials (iron ore, fertilizers) — with dedicated reports for each major commodity class.
How do you handle commodity price forecasting?
Our price forecasts combine futures curve analysis, cost curve modelling (identifying marginal producers), supply-demand balance projections, and scenario analysis covering bull, base, and bear cases over 5-year horizons.
Do your reports cover geopolitical supply risk?
Yes. Every commodity report includes a geopolitical risk section covering export restrictions, sanctions exposure, country concentration risk, and alternative supply development — particularly critical for lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and key agricultural exporters.
