Overview of the copper strips market in EMEA
Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the copper strips market in EMEA will grow steadily during the next four years and in terms of volume, will post a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growth in power and electrical equipment sector as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The constant increase in the demand for electricity and the expansions of the transmission and distribution networks will result in the need for power and electrical equipment. This will consequently result in the increased demand for copper strips in power generation stations to connect the generators to step-up transformers and the transformers to switchgears. The governments of several EMEA countries are continuously increasing investments towards upgrading and establishing new T&D infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for electricity, which will significantly boost the demand for copper strips in the coming years.
One of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the coming years is the increasing investment in smart grid networks. Since smart grid systems ensure smooth and proper transmission and distribution of electricity, there will be an increased investment from EMEA countries in smart grids. This will propel the need for the development of modular switchgears that require copper strips, in turn, fueling market growth.
