Ⅰ. Introduction
Copper granulators are professional equipment specially designed to recycle waste cables. It can crush waste cables into small particles of 3~5mm and then separate the most valuable metal resource from them – copper.
1. Copper granulators — a wide range of applications
They can reduce the pollution of waste metals to the environment, realize the recycling and reuse of copper resources, and effectively protect the environment. By quickly processing waste cables into bright and clean pure copper granules and plastic particles, they can also increase the production efficiency of recyclers to a new level, and improve the quality of recycled copper, bringing ideal economic benefits to recyclers. Therefore, it is the perfect equipment for major metal recycling centers, scrap car recycling stations, scrap yards, garbage stations, etc.
2. USA copper market’s current situation
The United States is the second largest copper consumer in the world. Copper is a major contributor to the U.S. economy and plays an irreplaceable role in many fields such as electricity, transportation, construction, and energy. Since copper can be reused many times without any performance loss, it is an ideal metal resource with high recycling value. Recycling copper is a win-win situation for both society and recyclers: not only meets a large part of society’s demand for copper but also brings considerable income to recyclers.
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy officially included copper in the list of critical materials. According to their forecast, the demand for copper will continue to rise in the next decade and will double by 2035. This shows that recycled copper will occupy an increasingly important position in the supply of copper. In this context, as the most advanced technology for recycling copper on the market, copper granulators will play a vital role in the copper recycling field with their ultra-high efficiency and high quality of recycled copper.
Ⅱ. Copper granulator market forecast
How will the copper granulators market develop in the future? Can recyclers find sufficient sources of waste cables? Is there a broad sales market for recycled copper? Will copper prices rise or fall? What progress will copper granulator technology make?
This chapter will predict the future development trend of the copper granulators market in detail to help you judge whether the profits brought by copper granulators can meet your expectations.
1. Rich sources of waste cables
Copper, the world’s third most widely used metal, plays a vital role in various industries, especially in the electrical field. Copper’s unique conductivity and durability make it an irreplaceable material in the electrical field. Nowadays, the application of electricity covers almost every corner of the world, so there are a huge number of waste cables all over the world, providing copper recyclers with a reliable and abundant source of raw materials, and ensuring the stability of the copper recycling business.
2. Huge demand for recycled copper
Looking into the future, with the development of electricity, automobiles, and other fields, the world’s demand for copper will continue to grow. Copper will be in short supply, and mining new copper mines alone cannot meet the huge market demand, which shows the importance of recycling copper. Recycling copper will become a great important part of the copper supply, providing a wide sales market for recyclers. Therefore, investing in copper granulators will follow the trend of the times and enable recyclers to meet the needs of the environment and the market.
3. Steady growth in copper prices
Copper price is an important factor affecting the profit of copper recycling. After investigation, we found that copper prices have been rising almost all the time in the past decade. In 2015, the price of copper ranged from about $2.5 per pound to $2.8 per pound, and as of July 2024, the price of copper has reached $4.5 per pound, with a growth rate of 70%. Although there have been some declines during this period, the overall trend is rising. Since copper will be in short supply in the future, we believe that copper prices will continue to rise in the next few years, bringing ideal profits to copper recyclers.
4. Technological progress of copper granulators
In the United States, labor costs are very high. Therefore, we believe that copper granulators will pursue higher efficiency and more automated production in the future to ensure that recyclers can obtain higher profits while minimizing labor costs. Moreover, the United States has extremely high standards and requirements for environmental protection. In the future, copper granulators will develop in a more environmentally friendly and zero-pollution direction to comply with government regulations.
5. The rise of emerging markets
In addition to the United States, emerging markets in the global copper recycling industry are also rising rapidly. In Asian countries, especially in China and India, as people pay increasing attention to metal resource protection and sustainable development, more and more recyclers are entering the copper recycling industry. Europe and Latin America are also rapidly expanding their copper recycling work in line with their government policies and environmental regulations. As copper recycling work in these regions expands, copper granulators will become an important tool for them to improve production efficiency.
IN SUMMARY, recycled copper has abundant raw material sources, a wide sales market, and ideal economic benefits. In the future, copper granulator technology will also conform to the mainstream of sustainable development and develop more efficiently, automatically, and environmentally friendly. At the same time, there are emerging markets joining the copper recycling industry. It can be said that the copper granulators market has great development potential.
