Driving Factors

The demand for high-purity copper foils in Japan is being further fueled by the government's increased investments in battery production and charging infrastructure as a result of its pledge to phase out internal combustion engine automobiles and promote carbon neutrality by 2050.  For example, by 2030, the national government of Japan intends to raise the proportion of EVs and PHEVs sold in passenger cars to 20–30% and the proportion of FCVs to up to 3%. Japan continues to dominate the world in the production of high-end PCBs, semiconductors, and consumer electronics—all of which depend on electrodeposited copper foils for their excellent electrical conductivity and miniaturization. Ultra-thin, high-strength copper foils are becoming more and more necessary in flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packaging due to the quick development of 5G networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Restraining Factors

The price volatility of raw materials, especially copper, a commodity that is traded internationally, is one of the main issues facing the Japanese market for electrodeposited copper foils. It is challenging for producers to maintain cost effectiveness and stable pricing structures since copper prices are impacted by geopolitical factors, supply chain interruptions, and variations in mining output.

Market Segmentation

The Japan electrodeposited copper foils market share is classified into material type and process.

• The ferrous segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

The Japan electrodeposited copper foils market is segmented by material type into ferrous, non-ferrous, and others. Among these, the ferrous segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. This is because copper-based foils are widely used in electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy applications. Lithium-ion batteries, PCB manufacture, and power transmission components all depend on copper because of its excellent electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and longevity.

• The press-and-sinter segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

The Japan electrodeposited copper foils market is segmented by process into press-and-sinter, metal injection molding, and additive manufacturing. Among these, the press-and-sinter segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. Its affordability and scalability in large-scale manufacturing make it popular.  Because it produces precise and lightweight materials, metal injection molding is becoming more and more popular in the aerospace and miniaturized electronics industries.
