Delray Beach, FL, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Cyclic Olefin Polymer Market is projected to reach USD 1.54 billion by 2029 from USD 1.12 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The cyclic olefin polymer (COP) market is growing steadily due to its unique combination of optical clarity, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making it a preferred material across multiple industries. COPs offer high transparency, low birefringence, excellent moisture barrier properties, and superior heat resistance, making them ideal for optical lenses, smartphone displays, medical vials, and diagnostic devices. Their low dielectric constant and high thermal stability drive adoption in 5G communication, automotive LiDAR, and advanced electronics. Additionally, COP’s lightweight nature, dimensional stability, and biocompatibility position it as a superior alternative to glass and conventional plastics in pharmaceutical, packaging, and high-performance engineering applications.
The North American copper tube market is undergoing significant change with advancements in technology, regulatory changes, and changing industry needs. Technologically, the market is experiencing a shift toward MicroGroove technology, where smaller-diameter, inner-grooved copper tubes are used to improve the efficiency of heat exchange. The design not only enhances energy efficiency but also allows for the use of natural refrigerants by lowering the total charge of refrigerant needed in systems. In addition, improved manufacturing processes, including extrusion and rolling, have made it possible to manufacture seamless copper tubes with consistent dimensions, which enhance structural strength and optimal performance in HVAC systems.
