Global Demand for Copper Foil Market to Incur Considerable Upsurge During 2024 – 2030: Grand View Research Inc.

 Copper Foil Market Growth & Trends

The global copper foil market size is anticipated to reach USD 22.00 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing adoption of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs), as a part of decarbonization efforts, is projected to fuel the growth of global market for copper foil.

Copper foil functions as the electrical conductor of printed circuit board (PCB). Rising demand for PCBs, due to the aforementioned application of copper foil in them, is likely to play a crucial role in influencing demand for copper foil. PCBs are essential building blocks in electronics manufacturing. As electronic devices become more complex and intelligent, there is an ever-growing demand for PCBs. As a result, rising demand for smart devices is likely to propel growth of the industry.

Use of copper results in reduced carbon emissions and cuts down amount of energy required to generate electricity. There is six times more copper in renewable energy systems than in traditional systems. Hence, growing adoption and transition towards green energy in infrastructure development, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and electricity generation is anticipated to benefit market growth. According to the IEA, the global sales of EVs reached 10.3 million units in 2022 compared to 6.7 million units in 2021 and 3.2 million units in 2020. Global sales are expected to have touched 14.1 million units in 2023; however, actual statistics are yet to be published.

Copper is a commodity that has historically witnessed high price volatility during the historic period of 2018-2022. Fluctuations in prices of copper cathode are expected to have a bearing on the profitability of the producer. Further, hikes in energy prices, supply constraints, and high demand from end-use industries are expected to put pricing pressure on the global market and affect smelter profitability and revenue performances of foil producers over the forecast period. Hence, price volatility of copper is expected to be a significant restraint to the revenue performance of the market.

The market is very competitive, with a strong presence of several large-sized players, such as Nippon Denkai, Ltd., SKC, and Lotte Energy Materials Corporation. Due to growth of end-use applications, players have been investing in increasing their capacities through greenfield projects. For instance, in August 2023, Lotte Energy Materials Corporation announced that it would build a new foil plant in Spain and would be operational in 2025.
