Copper Foil Market Updates

Global Copper Foil Market size was valued at USD 10.58 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 11.84 Billion in 2024 to USD 29.10 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 11.9% in the forecast period (2025-2032).

The global copper foil industry is highly competitive, with major players focusing on capacity expansion, technological advancements, and strategic collaborations to strengthen their market position. The industry is dominated by established manufacturers as well as emerging startups, particularly in regions with strong demand for copper foil in electric vehicles (EVs), printed circuit boards (PCBs), and semiconductor applications. 'JX Nippon Mining & Metals (Japan)', 'Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (Japan)', 'SK Nexilis (South Korea)', 'Doosan Corporation (South Korea)', 'Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (Japan)', 'Circuit Foil Luxembourg (Europe)', 'Global Brass and Copper Holdings (U.S.)', 'Volta Energy Solutions (Canada)', 'Solus Advanced Materials (South Korea)', 'Kingboard Copper Foil Holdings (China)', 'Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (Taiwan)', 'Nippon Denkai (Japan & U.S.)', 'ILJIN Materials (South Korea)'

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the primary drivers fueling the global copper foil market growth. Copper foil plays a crucial role in lithium-ion batteries, serving as the current collector in battery electrodes. With global initiatives promoting sustainable transportation, many governments are offering incentives and subsidies to accelerate EV adoption. For instance, the European Union and the United States have introduced policies aimed at phasing out internal combustion engine vehicles in favor of electric models. The growing investments in battery production facilities, such as Tesla’s Gigafactories and BYD’s battery plants, have further escalated the demand for high-quality copper foils. As EV manufacturers seek to enhance battery performance and energy density, the need for ultra-thin, high-purity copper foils is rising, thereby boosting market growth.
