The copper market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $166.25 billion in 2023 to $179.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as the electrical and electronics industry, the construction sector, the manufacturing of industrial machinery, automotive production, and infrastructure development.

The copper market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $240.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the transition to renewable energy, the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), urbanization, growth in the construction sector, expansion of 5G networks, and the global economic recovery. Prominent trends expected in the forecast period include the utilization of copper in antimicrobial applications, initiatives for supply chain resilience and diversification, the promotion of copper recycling, innovations in copper alloys, as well as the volatility of copper prices and market speculation.

The surge in the copper market is attributed to the increasing number of construction projects in rapidly developing nations such as China and India, driven by population growth and infrastructure demands. Population, denoting the total number of inhabitants in a country or region, plays a crucial role in this trend. Copper minerals and ores are present in both igneous and sedimentary rocks. As of June 2022, with China's population reaching 1,450,341,718, the expanding populace is a key factor propelling the growth of the copper market.

Anticipated growth in the copper market is fueled by the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, especially in the context of rising sales in countries such as China and India. Electric vehicles (EVs), relying on electric motors for propulsion, utilize copper for various purposes such as enhanced performance, efficiency, sustainability, energy storage, charging infrastructure, durability, weight reduction, and minimal energy loss during power transmission within the vehicle. Notably, according to the International Energy Agency's data from July 2023, global sales of electric vehicles nearly doubled to 6.6 million in 2021, underscoring the impact of this trend on the copper market.

Copper industries are adopting autonomous drilling systems to improve safety, efficiency, and productivity. This technology enables precise identification of drill locations and more effective drilling of production blast holes through advanced leveling technologies.

Innovations in the copper market include the development of recycled copper tubes by major companies aiming to gain a competitive advantage. Recycled copper tubes, sourced from post-industrial materials rather than newly mined copper ore, offer a sustainable alternative. For example, in March 2023, Germany-based Wieland-Werke AG introduced "Cuprolife," a sustainable option for the building sector. Utilizing a mass balance technique, Cuprolife tubes, constructed entirely of pure copper Cu-DHP, are flexible, easy to install, and suitable for applications such as solar systems, heating, gas, liquid gas, heating oil/biofuel oil B10, and household hot and cold water delivery. This environmentally conscious innovation aims to mitigate the adverse environmental effects of copper manufacturing and promote sustainability in the industry.
