The copper-nickel alloys market size is projected US$ 5,989.37 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Copper-nickel alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. They also exhibit resistance to macrofouling due to the formation of a protective oxide layer on their surfaces. Copper-nickel alloys usually come in two varieties: Cu-Ni (90-10) and Cu-Ni (70-30). The Cu-Ni (70-30) alloy is stronger and has greater resistance to corrosion (caused by seawater) and macrofouling than Cu-Ni (70-30). However, Cu-Ni- (90-10) is more affordable than Cu-Ni (70-30) and has a better service life in many end-use applications. Copper-nickel alloys are experiencing strong demand in the marine, chemical processing, power generation, and oil & gas industries, which is primarily driving the copper-nickel alloys market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Copper-Nickel Alloys Market
The social and commercial restrictions enforced by governments upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant downfall in supply chains, including import–export operations, which impacted the prices of raw materials and hindered the operations of the shipbuilding industry. The oil & gas industry also experienced similar impacts of the pandemic as there was an unprecedented drop in the demand for crude oil in 2020, which resulted in a significant decline in its prices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, the oil demand decreased by 3 million barrels per day, which accounts for ~20% of the US’ overall oil consumption. Thus, the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the maritime and oil & gas industries adversely impacted the demand for copper-nickel alloys. Moreover, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units, the production of copper-nickel alloys was suspended, which hampered the profitability of small and large-scale manufacturers.
In 2021, governments of various countries announced relaxations in the previously imposed restrictions and permitted manufacturers to operate at full capacity. As a result, the manufacturers of copper-nickel alloys revised their strategies for ramping up their production, which is expected to overcome the production shortfall and demand–supply gap. This factor is expected to boost the global copper-nickel alloys market during the forecast period.

Surge in Adoption of Copper-Nickel Alloys in Renewable Energy Projects to Introduce New Growth Trends in Copper-Nickel Alloys Market
Governments of various countries are encouraging people to use renewable energy sources to reduce the overall environmental impact. Turbines, paddles, heat exchangers (in concentrated solar power CSP systems) wind energy turbines, and many components used in renewable energy generation are made of copper-nickel alloys. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the use of renewable energy increased by 3% globally in 2020. The share of global power generation through renewable energy sources reached 29% in 2020 from 27% in 2019. The US, the European Union (EU), China, and India, among other countries, are taking various initiatives to drive investments in the production of clean energy for environment conservation and sustainable economic development. For instance, in March 2022, the European Union devised the “REPowerEU Plan” to produce clean energy and save energy to avoid dependency on Russian fossil fuel sources. The RePowerEU Plan aims to achieve a total renewable energy output of 1,236 Giga Watt by 2030. The European Commission stated that the implementation of REPowerEU plan, during 2022–2027, would require an additional investment of US$ 208.91 billion, which it expects to source from the EU member states and private sectors. Such government initiatives in different countries are expected to boost the renewable energy sector in the future, in turn, bolstering the growth of the copper-nickel alloys market.

Presence of large-desalination plants in the Middle East and Africa is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the copper-nickel alloys market. Copper-nickel alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. Copper-nickel alloys are widely used in multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) and multiple-effect distillation (MED) desalination plants to provide high corrosion resistance to heat exchangers and other components, including tubeplate, water boxes, pipe fittings, and evaporator shells. When seawater is fed to the desalination system, it causes corrosion of metal components, which can reduce the lifespan of the total system. Therefore, copper-nickel alloys are used in desalination systems. Thus, the presence of a large number of desalination plants in the Middle East & Africa is expected to create huge demand for copper-nickel alloys, which would provide lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
Based on product type, rods & bars segments mainly have the largest revenue share. Copper-nickel bars are an alloy of copper, nickel, and other strengthening elements such as manganese and iron. Copper-nickel round bars are used in power steering, brake lines, distiller tubes, condenser plates, and pressure vessels. Owing to their unique properties such as resistance to macro fouling, good tensile strength, and corrosion resistance, the round bars are specified for shipbuilding and repair, desalination plants, offshore oil and gas structures, power generation, and other marine engineering applications. Further, copper-nickel rods with 10% and 30% nickel are commonly employed for condensers, distillers, evaporators, heat exchanger tubes, machined and forged valves, and pump parts used for seawater services. The rods are highly corrosion-resistant to salt water, which is helpful for heat exchangers and condensers in seawater systems.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global copper-nickel alloys market. The continued economic growth and urbanization of the region require developing reliable and affordable energy systems with significant additional electricity-generating capacity. According to the International Energy Agency, the installed electricity-generating capacity of the region is expected to rise by approximately 7% per annum, from 3,386 GW in 2019 to 6,113 GW by 2030. In addition, the amount of investment in renewable energy production across the region is expected to reach US$ 1.3 trillion per annum by 2030.
Based on the application, marine segment is projected to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. In recent years, the use of copper-nickel tubes has been extended to hydraulic and instrumentation systems, which have become increasingly important in the operations of ship and offshore platform control and monitoring systems. The copper-nickel alloys offer excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion, ensuring a highly reliable system.
Widespread applications of copper-nickel alloys is driving the copper-nickel alloys market growth. Copper-nickel alloys are used in various industries, including shipbuilding, oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, paper & pulp, and food & beverages. In the marine industry, the alloys are used to fabricate components and pipe fittings for ships and seagoing vessels. As copper-nickel alloys withstand high corrosion rates, they are extensively used as sheathing on oil and gas platforms.
