Mexico Power 2013 POWER Release
March 11, 2013
As companies flee the economic storms of Europe, they find in Mexico a host opportunities and competitive advantages in a number of sectors. With the potential to become one of the top 10 most powerful economies in the world, Mexico is becoming a key regional manufacturing hub, and the power sector – a complicated mix of private sector participation combined with public ownership – fuels this growth. Energy demand in Mexico, according to the Secretary of Energy (SENER), will increase by approximately 4% each year for the next ten years, and with it the potential for private sector growth in the industry.

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
