Dublin, Feb. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Copper Products Market by Product, Application, End-Use Industry, and Region – Global Forecast to 2035” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The copper products market is projected to grow substantially, increasing from USD 375.47 billion in 2025 to USD 645.86 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The surge in demand is largely attributed to copper’s critical role in sectors such as power, construction, electronics, automotive, and renewable energy. Its superior conductivity, durability, and recyclability position it as the material of choice for various products including wires, tubes, and foils.
As urbanization and infrastructure projects expand globally, there’s a significant demand for copper in power grids and building materials. This growth is further bolstered by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems, driving the need for copper in batteries and charging infrastructures. Electronics and telecommunications are also major consumers of copper, relying on it for essential components like PCBs and connectors.
The market’s trajectory is influenced by the shift towards sustainability, with copper recycling emerging as a key supply source, reducing mining reliance. However, challenges include supply chain volatility, energy production costs, and competition from substitutes like aluminum. Nonetheless, strong government investments in clean energy and digitalization support copper’s critical role in modern infrastructure.
The Copper Foils Segment Expanding Rapidly
Foils are identified as the fastest-growing product segment within the copper market. In electronics, copper foils are indispensable for PCBs and lithium-ion batteries, where their properties facilitate energy efficiency and compactness. The rising demand for EVs, energy storage, and electronics underscores the foils’ significance.
Copper foils are increasingly utilized in 5G infrastructure for shielding against electromagnetic interference, reinforcing their importance in communications technology. Innovations in ultra-thin foils for EV batteries cement foils as vital to emerging technologies.
Importance of Earthing Systems
The earthing segment is set to grow rapidly, driven by a focus on electrical safety and regulatory compliance. Copper’s traits make it ideal for earthing systems, ensuring efficient fault current dissipation and safety across infrastructures. Urbanization and smart city initiatives create demand for these systems in modern constructions.
The growth of renewable energy installations further enhances the demand for copper in grounding systems. Electrification in transport and regulatory standards emphasize the adoption of efficient earthing solutions, reinforcing its market growth.
Plumbing as a Key Growth Industry
Plumbing is predicted to be the fastest-growing end-use sector for copper products. Copper’s durability, resistance, and antimicrobial benefits make it suitable for plumbing systems. Asia Pacific’s urban growth is a significant driver, with extensive housing and public utility projects boosting copper demand.
The emphasis on water quality and green building practices supports copper’s plumbing usage. The ongoing replacement of aging systems in developed regions contributes to sustained demand, emphasizing the sector’s critical role in the copper market.
Asia Pacific Leading Regional Growth
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market, propelled by urbanization and infrastructure investments in countries like China and India. The region’s demand for copper in power transmission, renewable projects, and EVs is accelerating.
Established electronics hubs heavily rely on copper, while large-scale construction demands increase the need for copper pipes and tubes. Government investments in smart grids and green energy initiatives further support market expansion.
