However, I can give you a basic range of prices which you can expect to pay for copper per kg. But still, I would recommend you check out the updated price of copper the next time you go out to buy copper in whatever form you want.

The two most common copper types currently being sold in Pakistan are new copper and scrap copper. As the name suggests, new copper is a little more pricey than scrap. You may expect to pay about PKR 2400 to 2500 per kg for new copper.

On the other hand, scrap copper is way cheaper than new copper because it is not a very pure form of copper. You may expect to pay about PKR 1600 to 1700 for a single; kg of scrap copper.

Factors that Affect the Price of Copper In Pakistan

1. Demand And Supply

The demand and supply of copper in Pakistan are highly determining price factors. In Pakistan, there is a huge demand for copper. It is used in electrical appliances, infrastructure, and electrical wiring.

On the other hand, there is also a huge supply of copper in Pakistan. However, the extraction and refinery companies play a huge part in the supply of copper. They may withhold or cut off the supply of copper to the market in order to cause a shortage and a sudden surge in pricing.

2. Infrastructure Development

Copper has widespread use in infrastructure. It is used in buildings, bridges, electricity generation, transformers, cables, and so on. So, whenever there is a huge project underway, the price of copper skyrockets.

Whereas, on the other hand, when there is no such project going on or at the end of a huge project, when the demand for copper falls, the price decreases.
