Enargite, a copper arsenic sulfide mineral, plays a critical role in copper extraction industries, especially in regions with high-grade arsenic-bearing deposits. Global Enargite production has seen gradual growth over the past decade, driven primarily by demand in copper-intensive industries such as electronics, renewable energy, and electrical infrastructure. According to recent market estimates, global Enargite production reached approximately 120,000 metric tons in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% since 2019. Major production hubs are located in South America, particularly Peru and Chile, alongside smaller-scale operations in the United States and Australia. The production trend is influenced by the dual need for copper and by-products like arsenic, which requires careful handling due to environmental regulations.
