Tokyo Metals and Mining Briefing 2026

成長機会と地政学:金属、エネルギー転換、バッテリー市場を読み解く

エネルギー転換が成熟期を迎える中、産業界のリーダーや投資家は、中国および世界的なGDP成長の減速、EV需要の構造変化といった課題に直面しています。電化の進展は単なる指数関数的な成長ではなく、技術革新や貿易関税による貿易フローの再編という複雑な段階にあります。 

「Tokyo Metals & Mining Briefing 2026」では、ウッドマッケンジー社のアナリストが、市場の逼迫と需給バランスを分析いたします。私たちは、表面的なニュースの裏側にある事実を突き止め、次世代における成長機会や、地政学的な視点から見た戦略的な鉱物資源の重要性について、データに基づいた洞察を提供いたします。 

As the energy transition moves into a maturing market, industrial players, investors, and policymakers face shifting dynamics where global GDP growth has been relatively slow. Electrification is no longer a simple story of exponential trajectory. 

Instead, stakeholders must navigate complex tech changes, from evaluating EV demand to understanding how the threat of tariffs is reshaping global trade flows.

Our Tokyo Metals & Mining Briefing 2026 brings together our experts to analyse areas of physical market tightness. We look past the headlines to dissect growth opportunities in next-generation storage and map out why critical commodities like rare earths remain strategic assets.
