Global Electrical Contacts and Contacts Materials Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Electrical Contacts and Contacts Materials market size was valued at US$ 3659 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 4155 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 1.9% during review period.

Electrical contacts are soft, high-conductivity, oxidation-resistant materials used as the makeup of electrical components. They are the materials in a system through which an electrical current flows.

Electrical contacts are generally made from metals with high electrical conductivity. The most commonly used metal surfaces for contact alloys are silver, copper and other auxiliary metal, like gold, platinum, and palladium. Tungsten, nickel, graphite, and molybdenum are materials that enhance the structural properties of highly conductive metals and some are used individually for specialized contacts and components. Compared with National Bureau of Statistics of China and Customs, in this report, the sales volume was counted by using total weight (1 MT = 1 Ton) of contact materials.

According to the industry"s definition of electrical contacts and contacts materials, it can be divided into: contact material, multi-layer electrical contacts, and electrical contact elements.

Contact material is made of silver, copper and other raw materials for processing to meet customer demand in the electrical contact performance, physical properties, mechanical properties, chemical properties, etc. It is widely used in circuit breakers, contactors and other low voltage electrical products. The multi-layer electrical and electrical contact elements are further developed on the basis of the contact material to form the electrical contact material.

Multi-layer electrical contacts is made by the contact material and other cheap metal after debugging. The working surface is the contact material. With the combination of cheap metal, in ensuring the electrical contact performance and other basic requirements, it can reduce the utilized amount of precious metals, and significantly reduce the cost of production products. It is widely used in relays, fuses, switches, household appliances and other products.

Electrical contact elements is a deep processing product formed by welding the contact material, the multi-layer electrical contacts and the contacts bridge.

The top three manufacturers are Metalor, DODUCO and Umicore respectively with global revenue market share as 13%, 8% and 9%.
