Global mineral market monopoly increased

    In recent years, many in the Western world has accelerated merger between multinational companies, and thus strengthen the global control of important mineral resources. Some experts and senior officials pointed out that the face of the current status of international resources market, China should adopt positive measures to encourage the development of enterprise resource exploration going out and participate in international competition in the market resources, strong national resources development strategy.
　　
    The world market is "oligopoly" situation in recent years, many transnational corporations between the West and thus speed up the acquisition strengthened on the global control of important mineral resources, in particular the developed countries, to transnational mining companies, with their solid strength in the new round the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the market controlling power and influence of further expansion. If Alcoa Inc. (Alcoa) in the expansion of the global mergers and acquisitions, to become the world's largest non-ferrous metal industry enterprises, its alumina, aluminum electrolytic aluminum production and processing capacity of the highest in the world, the annual sales income over 200 million dollars. In 2001, Australia BHP and British Joint Billy Dayton company, the world's second largest after Alcoa Metal Mining Enterprises is the world's third-largest copper producer and the third largest iron ore producer and the largest coal exporters.
　　
    At present, energy and resources of transnational companies control the majority of high-quality global resources, reserves and production, trade in the global minerals in a dominant position. Global 25 largest transnational mining companies solid mineral, the United States, Canada, all six, Australia, the United Kingdom all three.
　　
    The intensification of monopoly increased supply-side effects on prices of many important mineral resources producers together, control and influence of a global market pricing of the joint. In addition, transnational energy and resource companies also control and guide the development of the global mining technology direction and guide the energy and resources of the area of technological innovation and transfer of technology, most of these companies have regional headquarters or research and development centers, control and guide the global mining technology development direction, and thus achieve the control of the global resources.
　　
    The era of cheap raw materials will be "the end"
　　
    The Ministry of Land and Resources experts believe that the world market at present important mineral resources generally in a "less stable" condition. The market generally remained stable, but structural volatile. Its main reasons: First, some areas particularly the supply and demand imbalance in the Asia-Pacific region; Second is the rapid development of globalization monopoly aggravated Third, the increased competition transport routes; four producers in the Union and the Consumer Union Game, production gained the upper hand, control and influence the market.
　　
    Experts pointed out, the long-term seller's market, oligopoly market began to show the signs now. Important mineral producers in the world market of control and influence increase. The price formation mechanism, the producers have more right to speak.
　　
    In addition, as newly discovered mineral in recent years to enter the development stage, important mineral resources of the world supply capacity is expected in the next five to seven years there will be a certain level of the increase, but the rate of increase in demand will be even greater, therefore, important world mineral imbalance in the supply and demand market will be further aggravated, the era of cheap raw materials will be "the end."
