Copper Foil Market - By Type (Electrodeposited, Rolled Copper Foil), By Thickness (Standard Thickness, Other Thickness), By Application (Printed Circuit Boards, Lithium-Ion Batteries, Electromagnetic Shielding), By End-Use & Forecast, 2023 - 2032

Copper Foil Market size is anticipated to witness over 5.2% CAGR during 2023-2032 driven majorly by the ongoing miniaturization in the electronic space. With the rising consumer requirement for smaller, lighter, and more portable electronic devices, manufacturers are compelled to make smaller electronic components and circuitry that are densely packed.

Thin and flexible copper foils are gaining traction as they are essential for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in miniaturized electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Ultra-thin copper foils also enable the creation of intricate and compact PCB designs, further accommodating the densely packed electronic components required for miniaturization.

The overall copper foil market is segregated based on type, thickness, application, end-use, and region.

Based on type, the rolled copper foil market is set to witness robust growth rate through 2032 owing to increasing preference to offer high conductivity, exceptional flexibility, and uniform thickness. The rapid strides in EV manufacturing owing to the ongoing transition towards cleaner and sustainable transportation options will also amplify the product demand.

Copper foil market from the lithium-ion batteries application segment is projected to gain traction from 2023-2032. This can be ascribed to the widespread application of copper foil in the production of lithium-ion batteries used in portable electronics, EVs, and renewable energy storage systems. Moreover, industry players are constantly investing in the development and expansion of copper foil production facilities for addressing the rising product demands. For instance, in August 2022, SK Nexilis Co., a subsidiary of South Korean chemical materials manufacturer SKC Ltd., developed a new technology for the mass production of ultra-high strength copper foil used in electric car batteries and semiconductor materials.

Based on regional landscape, Asia Pacific copper foil market is anticipated to witness widespread growth through 2032. The robust electronics manufacturing sector is surging the demand for substantial supply of high-quality copper foil to meet the growing consumer demand for electronic gadgets in the region. Furthermore, companies are investing in lithium battery manufacture to accommodate the rising requirements of the electric vehicle market. For instance, in July 2021, one of China's largest copper producers, Jiangxi Copper Co, announced plans to invest 11.4-billion-yuan project to create 100,000 tons of copper foil for lithium batteries each year.
