A new study by ESOMAR-certified market research firm Future Market Insights (FMI) reveals that global copper foil sales will grow at 7.4% CAGR through 2030. Growing application in e-mobility will be one of the key factors driving the growth of copper foils globally.
Demand for copper foils is associated with growth of consumer electronics industry, which joined the trillion-dollar club in 2019. Consumer electronics have become an indisputable part of daily lives amid the fast-paced and ever-evolving world. Consequently, the global market for consumer electronics is equally fast-growing and is witnessing start and end of several trends regularly.
Continuous innovations and onset of new-age technologies including, AI chips, and 3D sensors, have enabled developers to integrate augmented reality (AR) experiences into everyday devices such as smart TVs, smartphones, and wearable devices. Recent data reveal that in the US alone, the number of connected TVs is expected to double from 2015 through 2020.
Other key highlights of FMI’s study include,
- Application of copper foils in batteries to rise rapidly through 2030
- Accelerated shift towards e-mobility to offer potential opportunities of growth in near future
- North America and Europe to reflect significant investment prospects, given flourishing EV market
Recent studies on electromobility (e-mobility) reveal that copper is poised to play instrumental role in three key domains – charging infrastructure, energy storage, and production of electric vehicles (EV).
Electrification is considered as the most feasible way to achieve efficient and clean transportation that is critical to sustainable development worldwide. In the near future, EVs including, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to lead the clean vehicle industry in coming years.
EVs contains copper nearly four times compared to that in fossil-fueled models, majorly utilized in lithium-ion batteries (LIB), rotors, and wiring. In addition, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that LIBs are slated to predominate the EV market over following decade.
As such trends sweep across the business landscape, manufacturers of copper foils are moving aggressively and creating comprehensive strategies to maximize their odds of capturing value at stake.
“Batteries hold immense potential to significantly decarbonize transport and power systems. Deployment of EVs is seeing greater pace in several countries, especially in the US, China, and European countries. Recent data suggest that worldwide sales of EVs is expected to touch 6.2 million units by 2024 – nearly thrice greater than the volume sales in 2019,” says analyst at FMI.
Copper Foil Sales Stay Afloat as EV Industry Defies COVID-19 Threat
From European manufacturers – BMW and Renault – to their Asian counterparts –Toyota and Hyundai – as well as US companies including, General Motors, have registered and are anticipating staggering sales and interest in EVs and relevant ‘new energy’ automobiles amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
In addition, FMI finds that about 2/3 of vehicles worldwide are poised to be electric by 2040. EVs are weathering the COVID19 storm better versus conventional internal combustion (IC) engine vehicles. Consequently, LIB demand stands to benefit, and copper foils – as key component part of these batteries – will remain high in demand in coming years.
