Copper Tubes and Wire Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report
Copper Tubes and Wire Manufacturing in Australia
Copper tubes and wire manufacturers have faced difficult trading conditions in recent years. Foreign manufacturers have placed significant competitive pressure on industry manufacturers, with low-cost overseas manufacturers that can leverage economies of scale dominating the domestic market. Competition from substitute products has also intensified. Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes have increasingly been used as a substitute for copper by plumbing contractors. In particular, plastic pipes are lighter in weight, easier to install and more flexible, giving them certain competitive advantages over copper.
Companies primarily roll, draw and extrude hot or cold non-ferrous metals into bars, rods, tubes, wires and sheets. Firms that manufacture non-ferrous metal powders and flakes are also included in the industry. Aluminium product manufacturing is excluded from the industry.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
