Market Overview

The market for high-end copper foil is expected to register a CAGR of 6.35% during the forecast period (2019-2024). One of the major factors driving the market studied is the growing application as a printed circuit board (PCB) material. Development of single crystal graphene sheet as a substitute for copper foil is expected to hinder the growth of the market studied.

• Circuit boards application dominated the market in 2018, and is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for consumer gadgets, such as smartphones, PCs, tablets, and other medical electronics products.
• Copper foils in transformer and grid-level energy storage are likely to act as an opportunity in the future.
• Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the world, with the largest consumption from countries, such as China and India.

Key Market Trends

Growing Application as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Material

• High-end copper foils are often used in the manufacturing of single- and double-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCBs usually consist of a woven glass epoxy base material, which is clad with copper on one side or both sides of the board with varying thickness.
• The copper foils that are used in circuit boards typically vary from 0.0007 and 0.00134 inches in thickness, and have an average weight of 1 oz. per square foot.
  • The different classes of copper used in the PCB industries have their own limitation and capabilities. Both, rolled copper and electro-deposited (ED) copper are used during the manufacturing process.
• The development of PCBs offers the electronics industry with a reliable and cost-effective way to interconnect electronic components.
• The demand for printed circuit boards and laminates is proportional to the demand for computers and other sophisticated electronic equipment. The computer components include mainframes, peripherals, mini-computers, terminals, printers, and various add-on devices.
  • These are also used in communication devices, military equipment, industrial electronics, scientific and medical instruments, business and educational equipment, tablets, cell phones, mobile radios, electronic warfare apparatus, and guidance control systems.
• With an increase in world population and the increase in disposable incomes of individuals, the demand for these devices is increasing. This, in turn, is increasing the demand for PCBs.
• With the increasing implementation of PCBs in numerous electronic equipment and devices, the demand for high-end copper foils is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.
