China’s CMRG: From demand centre to market governor
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
For decades, China has been the centre of iron ore demand. This insight explores how China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG) is extending its influence beyond procurement into inventories, transaction data, trading platforms and price benchmarks. We assess what this means for market governance, where CMRG could gain leverage, and the factors that may constrain its influence. The report also examines how Simandou's emergence could strengthen buyers' bargaining power, the implications for traditional importers such as Japan, and why competition in the iron ore value chain may increasingly centre on green iron units.
