The U.S. copper flat rolled products market size was estimated at USD 1.65 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2033. The market is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing demand from the electrical and electronics sector, ongoing infrastructure modernization efforts, and the rapid advancement of the electric vehicle industry. Government initiatives supporting clean energy, grid upgrades, domestic manufacturing, and growing investment in EV production and charging networks further fuel the need for high-performance copper materials across multiple sectors.
They are highly valued across industries due to their exceptional combination of electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. One of their most important attributes is excellent electrical conductivity, second only to silver, making copper essential for use in printed circuit boards (PCBs), connectors, busbars, and transformer windings. Additionally, copper's superior thermal conductivity allows for efficient heat dissipation, which is crucial in maintaining the performance and reliability of electronic and power systems. Its high malleability and ductility enable it to be easily formed into thin foils and strips, supporting the production of compact and intricate components required in advanced electronics.
Advancements in electric vehicle technology and energy infrastructure are driving a substantial increase in demand for flat-rolled copper products. The development of highly efficient electric drivetrains, advanced battery management systems, and next-generation charging networks requires materials that offer exceptional electrical conductivity, superior thermal performance, and robust durability-qualities inherent to copper. As solid-state batteries and high-voltage EV systems gain traction, the need for precisely manufactured copper foils and sheets becomes increasingly critical to meet the performance and reliability standards of these emerging technologies.
Recently, the U.S. government announced substantial investments under the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate domestic clean energy projects and EV manufacturing. This initiative includes funding for upgrading the national power grid and expanding EV charging infrastructure, which is expected to boost the consumption of copper flat-rolled products further, reinforcing their critical role in supporting America's clean energy and transportation ambitions.
