Executive Summary

Copper foil refers to a layer of copper applied to the outer and inner surfaces of metal sheets to enhance their thickness. This copper layer serves as an electrical conductor in various electronic devices, providing improved conductivity, plasticity, corrosion resistance, and ductility for metal sheets. Copper foil finds applications in industries where riveting and cutting tools are essential.

The two main types of copper foil are rolled copper foil and electrodeposited copper foil. Rolled copper foil is created by rolling thick copper and is commonly used in flexible circuit boards. Various grades of copper foil include electrolytic tough pitch copper (ETP) and deoxidized high phosphorus copper (DHP). Copper foil is utilized in printed circuit boards, batteries, electromagnetic shielding, and other applications across industries such as electrical and electronics, automotive, industrial equipment, building and construction, among others.

The copper foil market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.75 billion in 2023 to $13.08 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth observed in the historical period in the copper foil market can be attributed to several factors, including the growth of the electronics industry, the miniaturization of electronic devices, increased demand for lithium-ion batteries, expansion in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, and the overall growth in the renewable energy sector. These factors collectively contributed to the increased demand for copper foil, reflecting its integral role in various industries and technologies during that time.

The copper foil market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period in the copper foil market can be attributed to several factors, including urbanization and infrastructure development, the increasing needs in the aerospace and defense sectors, the electrification of the automotive industry, compliance with environmental regulations, and expansion into emerging markets. Major trends expected during this period include the introduction of green energy solutions, the deployment of 5G networks, ongoing technological innovations, advancements in flexible electronics and displays, and the formation of strategic partnerships within the industry. These trends collectively indicate a dynamic and evolving landscape in the copper foil market, driven by advancements in technology, sustainability considerations, and collaborative efforts to address emerging challenges.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the copper foil market in the foreseeable future. Electric vehicles, powered by electricity stored in batteries, rely on copper foil in various components, including batteries, electric motors, and wiring, to facilitate the flow of electric current. In 2021, the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) reported a remarkable 132% growth in the sales of electric two-wheelers in India. The electric vehicle unit sales of two-wheelers surged from 10.7 lakh units in 2020 to 2.33 lakh units in 2021, underscoring the substantial rise in demand for electric vehicles. This surge is a significant driver behind the increasing demand for the copper foil market.

The expanding renewable energy sector is poised to contribute to the growth of the copper foil market. Renewable energy, derived from naturally replenished resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat, plays a pivotal role in driving the demand for copper foil. The utilization of copper foil in renewable energy technologies, particularly in solar panels and advanced batteries, enhances conductivity and energy efficiency. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewables are projected to account for approximately 95% of the global power capacity increase by 2026, with solar energy leading this expansion by contributing more than half. This growth in renewable energy adoption is a key factor driving the demand for the copper foil market.

Product innovation stands out as a notable trend in the copper foil market, with major companies focused on introducing new and advanced products to maintain their market position. In January 2021, Infinite Flex, a Germany-based company specializing in the development and manufacture of copper foils and copper powder, launched Infinite Powder Cu 01. This pure copper powder, manufactured using bound metal filament extrusion technology, facilitates the production of highly conductive copper components with unique standard selective laser melting (SLM) systems.
