Market Overview

Copper foil refers to a thin layer of copper metal utilized in the electronics sector, primarily for the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. Germany acts as both a producer and exporter of copper foil, which plays a critical role in the nation’s transition to sustainable energy. The country manufactures electrodeposited copper foils for the electronics market, particularly for printed circuit boards (PCBs). The production process involves electrodepositing copper from an electrolyte onto a rotating drum. Germany exports refined copper foil to nations such as Tunisia, China, Italy, France, and Austria. Copper is essential to Germany's shift toward sustainable energy solutions. It's utilized in wind turbines, solar panels, power grids, and electric vehicles. Over half of Germany's copper output is derived from scrap and intermediate copper-containing products. Copper can be recycled multiple times without losing its quality.
