Oxygen free copper (OFC) refers to the high-purity copper manufactured and processed under controlled conditions to reduce the presence of oxygen and other impurities. This results in copper with a minimum 99.95% purity level, offering superior electrical conductivity and enhanced thermal properties. High demand for electric vehicles and advanced consumer electronics has driven the need for high-quality components from materials such as OFC. However, high production costs associated with oxygen free copper can impede its widespread adoption across various industries looking to minimize operational expenses. Nevertheless, developing new applications of OFC in emerging industries, such as medical devices or defense technology, is expected to offer a broader scope for OFC market growth.
