Global Copper Paste Market: Overview

The copper paste is an anti-seize lubricant for high temperatures. A smooth, copper-colored paste made of synergistic anti-oxidant, anti-corrosion, and anti-wear ingredients suspended in premium-quality stable oil. It works well as an anti-seize formulation to stop metal-to-metal contact, seizing, galling, and fretting corrosion. With excellent conductive qualities and low cost, it is also used in the power electronics and solar industries. The copper paste market is being driven by several factors such as the increasing solar industry, growing industrialization, and the rising utilization of protection in industrial equipment.

Global Copper Paste Market: Growth Drivers

The increasing automotive sector drives the market growth

The increasing automotive industry across the globe is expected to drive the global copper paste market growth over the forecast period. The automobile industry witnessed extensive usage of copper paste, particularly in maintenance and repair tasks. It was frequently used to avoid seizing, lessen friction, and extend the lifespan of parts including brake pads, spark plugs, exhaust systems, and fasteners. For instance, according to Invest India, Passenger vehicle exports increased from 404,397 to 577,875 units from April 2021 to March 2022, while commercial vehicle exports increased from 50,334 to 92,297 units, three-wheeler exports increased from 393,001 to 499,730 units, and two-wheeler exports increased from 3,282,786 to 4,443,018 units in April 2021 to March 2022 compared to the same period in 2017. Thereby, driving the market growth over the forecast period.

Restraints

Availability of substitutes hamper the market growth

The market for copper paste faced competition from the development of substitute lubricants and anti-seize remedies such as synthetic greases, ceramic-based lubricants, and improved coatings. Some of these substitutes addressed environmental and toxicological issues while providing equivalent or even better performance. Thus, this is expected to be a major restraining factor to the copper paste industry growth over the forecast period.

Opportunities

Growing infrastructure development offers a lucrative opportunity for the market growth

The increasing infrastructural development across the globe is expected to provide enormous opportunities for copper paste market growth over the forecast period. Reliable lubrication solutions were necessary for infrastructure projects, such as building and transportation systems, to maintain the durability and efficiency of numerous mechanical components. Copper paste contributed to decreasing wear & tear and guaranteeing smooth functioning. For instance, in November 2021, the "Infrastructure for Resilient Island States" initiative was launched, giving India an enormous opportunity to help other vulnerable countries across the world. By 2024–2025, the government intends to invest over INR 102 lakh crore in infrastructure projects. Energy (24%), Roads (19%), Urban (16%), and Railways (13%) make up the majority of the IBEF's expected capital spending on infrastructure in India for the fiscal years 2020 to 2025. Therefore, the aforementioned facts offer a lucrative opportunity for market revenue growth.

Challenges

High material cost act as a major challenge to the market growth

The price of copper, which is a key ingredient in copper paste, may vary depending on the market. This influences the copper paste's total manufacturing costs and may make it more expensive for some uses. For instance, by the end of 2021, the spot price for copper is predicted by the World Bank to be $8,500 per metric ton on average. The cost is anticipated to drop to $7,500 in 2022 before rising to $8,250 by 2035. Moreover, the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy, and Resources anticipates a substantial increase in copper prices to $8,257 in 2021, followed by a minor decline to $7,724 in the next two years, then a subsequent increase to $8,876 by 2026. Thus, the fluctuation in the price of copper is expected to pose a major challenge to market growth.
