The 2000s commodities boom, commodities super cycle or China boom was the rise of many physical commodity prices during the early 21st century (2000–2014), following the Great Commodities Depression of the 1980s and 1990s. The boom was largely due to the rising demand from emerging markets such as the BRIC countries, particularly China during the period from 1992 to 2013, as well as the result of concerns over long-term supply availability. As China transformed itself, building entire cities and moving hundreds of millions of people, it developed an insatiable appetite for raw materials. It needed steel to build skyscrapers and railways, and it needed coal to power its factories. There was a sharp down-turn in prices during 2008 and early 2009 due to the 2008 financial crisis and European debt crisis, but prices began to rise as demand recovered from late 2009 to mid-2010.
