Scope of Global Oxygen-Free Copper Market Report:

Oxygen-free copper is defined as wrought metal alloys that have undergone the electrolytic processing making the product highly conductive. Electrolytic refining process helps in reduction of oxygen content in the metal to a significantly low level which not only makes the product achieve high conductivity for electricity but also helps in achieving chemical purity. Therefore, it is highly valued and commonly used in industrial applications such as manufacture of semiconductors and superconductors and high vacuum devices such as particle accelerators that involve deposition of plasma. The use of oxygen free materials in such applications is significant, as presence of oxygen or any other contamination leads to undesirable chemical reactions with the materials present in the surroundings. Wires made up of oxygen free copper exhibit superior conductivity, improved ability to transfer low frequency sounds, and durability etc. Therefore, oxygen free copper is widely used in the manufacture of high end audio-visual systems. This includes manufacture of audio-video connector cable assemblies, speaker wires, and amplifier wires. Copper oxygen-free (Cu-OF) is used in magnetometers and electromagnets and copper oxygen-free electronic is used for making rectifiers and transistors.

During COVID-19 pandemic, has shown a decline impact on the growth of global Oxygen-free copper market as lockdown has stopped manufacturing which has significantly contributed in the market disruption. Due to transportation restrictions, there could not be a regular material supply, while most of the metal plants stopped productions temporarily and the recent commerce imposition of preliminary duties on all oxygen free copper metal imports may further affect the market negatively. Number of projects in the United States, Germany, China, and South Korea have been postponed. These plants are facing short-term operational problems due to supply chain constraints and the inaccessibility of factories due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

News: Mitsubishi to Acquire 30% Stake in Chile’s Mantoverde Copper Mine

February 10^th, 2020; Mitsubishi Materials Corporation announced that it reached an agreement to acquire 20% stake in the Mantoverde copper mine from Mantos Copper Holding SpA (Chile) and participate in the Mantoverde Development Project. In consideration for the 30% stake, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation will contribute USD 263 million at closing of the deal. The company will receive offtake rights of 30% of copper produced, proportionate to its ownership stakes, and will receive the produced materials in the form of copper concentrate. As a long-term collaborator to co-invest in the Mantoverde Development Project (MVDP), Mantoverdem plans to use $731m to expand facilities and build a concentrator to extract and process sulphide ore. With a mine life of until 2041, total copper production from the Mantoverde mine is expected to be 1,700 kilo tonnes (Kt) during its life.

Rising Use of Metal in Various Industries, Increasing Demand from Electrical and Electronics and Rising Sales of Electric Vehicles Market Growth

The global oxygen-free copper market is rapidly driven by due to the increasing technological advancements and the requirement for pure copper metals & alloys, various grades of oxygen-free copper are used in manufacturing components and equipment in this industry. Speedily rising internet connectivity services in emerging economies along with the adoption of high-end audio devices are supporting the oxygen-free copper. According to copper alliance organization, in oxygen-free high conductivity copper, all traces of oxygen are removed by either melting in a vacuum, using an inert atmosphere or a reducing environment resulting in a very pure (99.95%) copper. In addition, the electronics & electrical industry is expected to grow rapidly in the near future owing to the continuous research & development (R&D) and technological advancements in the industry. As per the Electronics Industries Association of India (ELCINA); the global electronics hardware sector was valued at USD 2 trillion in 2018. The electronics & electrical industry is the major end-use industry in the oxygen-free copper. The adoption of nanotechnology in this industry will also direct to the demand for pure or oxygen-free copper. Furthermore, advanced certification passed by these materials will also assist to develop product demand.

However, volatility in the prices of copper may hamper the overall oxygen free copper market growth. In spite of that, increase in acceptability of oxygen free copper by processing industry as well as healthcare industry is anticipated to create more opportunities for its further growth.

Asia Pacific is Expected to Witness a Fastest Growth in the Global Oxygen-Free Copper Market

Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness a fastest growth in the oxygen-free copper market due to the rapid industrialization in developing countries and expansion of the chemical processing and electronic industries in this region. Countries such as Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, India, and Singapore are primary centres for manufacturing and sale of electrical & electronic goods, which are the major end users of oxygen-free copper.
