The copper clad laminate market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, the copper clad laminate market has experienced significant expansion. It is projected that the market, valued at $13.56 billion in 2024, will rise to $14.66 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%.
The unprecedented growth during the historical period can be credited to the growth of the electronics industry, a surge in the demand for compact and lightweight devices, expansion of telecommunication infrastructure, the blooming automotive electronics industry, the worldwide spread of electronics manufacturing, and an increase in the consumption of consumer electronics.
The copper clad laminate market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the market size of copper clad laminate is predicted to witness robust growth, scaling up to "$20.17 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%.
This growth during the forecast period is the result of continuous enhancements in IoT devices, escalating growth in the market of flexible electronics and wearables, increased focus on environmental sustainability, transition towards high-frequency materials, and improvements in supply chain robustness and regionalization. The forecast period will also see an augmentation in demand for high-frequency laminates, a rise in the implementation of 5G technology, downsizing of electronic devices, a move towards halogen-free laminates, and advancements in material technology.
The copper clad laminate market is predicted to flourish on account of the rising demand for automotive vehicles. These vehicles, synonymous with self-propelled land vehicles that aren't rail-bound like trains or trams, move people and goods. The incorporation of copper-coated laminate into lubricants or cargo is known to enhance the engine's performance and lengthen its lifespan. A report from Statistics Canada, a national statistical institution based in Canada, revealed in June 2024 that there had been a nominal increase of 0.3% in the tally of registered road motor vehicles in Canada in 2022 compared to 2021, with the total reaching 26.3 million. Thus, the escalating demand for automotive vehicles is igniting the expansion of the copper clad laminate market.
