The Global Copper Magnetic Wire Market Size was valued at $23.3 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $39 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2031. The copper magnetic wire is a type of insulated copper wire with thin insulation of polymers such as polyurethane, polyesterimide, polyamidimide, polyimide, and other polymers. In addition, it can also be insulated by covering the wire with a tape made of paper, polymer, fiberglass, and of other materials. Copper magnetic wire is used for winding the core of electrical components such as small and large transformers, solenoids, motors, electricity generators, and others.  

Market Dynamics 

Copper is widely used for making magnet wire owing to its very less resistance compared to aluminum which is another most used material for making magnet wire. In addition to this, copper wire is more flexible and does not break easily in the sharp turns of core winding. Moreover, copper has a higher melting point making it an ideal choice for heavy electric machinery that utilizes high voltage of electricity. Such factors along with others make copper magnetic wire a widely used wire for windings in transformers, motors, inductors, hard disk actuators, speakers, electromagnets, and others.  

Furthermore, with the rise in global population and urbanization, the demand for electricity and surging industrialization, especially in developing countries are positively affecting the copper magnetic wire market outlook. In the past few decades, the global population has increased significantly and is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. According to the projections made by the United Nations, the global population of 8 billion in 2023, is expected to increase to 9.7 billion in 2050. Countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Kenya, Nigeria, and other Asian and African countries, are expected to play a major role in driving the population and urbanization. Such rapid growth in the population and urbanization is expected to drive the demand for residential and commercial buildings.

For instance, as of 2021, China’s urban population is 64% of its total population, however, this is estimated to increase to 72% in 2030. Due to this trend, the Chinese government has introduced many affordable housing schemes for its citizens. For instance, in July 2021, a circular released by the General Office of the State Council stated its plans for accelerating the development of affordable rental homes in China’s big cities. Similarly, other countries are also witnessing increasing construction. Typically, the tools that are used for construction such as drills, saws, bar bender, jack hammers, and others utilize components such as transformers, solenoids, actuators, motors, and others having a copper magnetic wire winded core. In addition, various machines and appliances in buildings such as water pumps, fans, exhaust systems, and others also have an indistinguishable magnet wire core typically made of copper.

Moreover, rise in industrialization and population is anticipated to rapidly increase the demand for electricity for personal, and commercial use. Thus, governments across the world are expanding their electricity production capacity. For instance, Indian state-owned company, Power Grid Corporation of India is investing about $97.4 million in various projects for expanding power grids in the country. In addition, according to National Electrical System Development Program (Programa de Desarrollo del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional), of Mexico, the total electricity generation capacity of Mexico in December 2020 was 83,121 MW, which increased by 3.64% in December 2021. In addition, the whole world is shifting from generating electricity from conventional sources of energy such as coal, oil & gas, and others to renewable sources such as wind power, solar power, hydal energy, and others. This shift will require new electricity generating and distributing equipment, which makes significant use of copper magnetic wire. All such factors are driving the demand for the copper magnetic wire market. 

However, fluctuating cost of copper required to construct copper magnetic wire is anticipated to restrain the copper magnetic wire market growth.  

Moreover, rise in demand for electric vehicles is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players that operate in the copper magnetic wire market. Governments of countries such as India, China, the UK, Germany, Italy, and others provide subsidies for buying electric vehicles. For instance, the government of Germany offers a subsidy of a maximum $9,615 for buying all electric vehicle. 

The demand for copper magnetic wire decreased in 2020, owing to low demand from different industries due to lockdowns imposed by the governments of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic shut down the manufacturing, process, construction, and other industries across the world, leading to a halt in demand for copper magnetic wire. This had hampered the growth of the copper magnetic wire market significantly during the pandemic. The major demand for copper magnetic wires was previously noticed from major countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and developing countries having large industrial sectors and high demand for electricity such as India, and China. These countries were badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery. However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced.

This has led to the full-fledged reopening of businesses involved in copper magnetic wire market, and also led to increased activities in the industrial sector. Furthermore, it has been more than two and a half years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies have already shown notable signs of recovery. Contrarily, as of the beginning of 2023, the number of COVID-19 infection cases had surged again, especially in China, this brought negative sentiments in the market, which may have a negative impact on the copper magnetic wire market for a short duration. Thus, businesses involved in copper magnetic wire designing and manufacturing must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond to the crises and find new ways of working.
