A raw material is a relatively unprocessed material that is a basic economic input. These include minerals, metals, forest products, agricultural products, chemicals and natural resources that are viewed as foundational inputs. All products, buildings and hard infrastructure are ultimately made from raw materials. Likewise, services, utilities and processes often depend on raw materials such that they underpin most economic activity. The following are examples of major raw materials.
