ArmInfo.  Armenia's metallurgical industry reversed its 2% growth rate in  January-November 2025 to a 3% decline. According to data from the RA  Statistics Committee, this was due to a deterioration in the  performance of its dominant product, copper concentrate.

Specifically, the annual production of copper concentrate reversed  from 6.6% growth to a 4.7% decline, reaching a volume of 267,500  tons.

Molybdenum concentrate production continued to decline, decelerating  from 26% to 13.6%, reaching a volume of 13,700 tons. A downward trend  was also recorded in ferromolybdenum production, with growth rates  decelerating from 42.7% to 31.9%, reaching 2,700 tons. Zinc  concentrate production maintained growth, but with an annual growth  rate slowing from 29.3% to 11.8%, reaching 10,600 tons.

Steel pipe production also slowed, from 17.5% to 14.1%, reaching  26,100 tons.

Aluminum foil production, meanwhile, reversed a 23.7% decline to 4.6%  growth, reaching 18,900 tons.
