Market Growth Factors

The demand for copper wires around the world is being driven by the renewable energy market, which requires wide-ranging wiring for the distribution and transmission of renewable energy. For instance, in April 2025, Hengtong Cable Australia received an order for 40,000 cable harnesses for a solar farm in Victoria, Australia. This shows the growing importance of copper wiring in renewable energy generation. The increased deployment of wind turbines and photovoltaic solar panels, both of which use a high volume of copper wiring, has been a major market driver mainly due to government subsidization and policy.

Copper wiring is used in electric vehicle (EV) battery systems, motors and charging. Copper is also used extensively in EV production and is in high demand as the automotive sector begins to electrify. In 2023, almost 14 million new electric cars were registered worldwide, with increased demand for copper wire in electric vehicles and EV charging networks in Asian markets.

Modernization and expansion of electrical infrastructure also drives market growth, especially for urban electrification and electricity infrastructure in developing countries. In the United States, a $73 billion investment in electric grid infrastructure lead to higher consumption of copper wire in transmission, substations and domestic grid. Rising demand for energy-efficient electrical components in consumer electronics, smart grids and data centers is driving growth in copper consumption. Improvements in wire coating technology have decreased oxidation while increasing conductivity for wider applications.
