Global Automotive Thick Copper PCB Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Automotive Thick Copper PCB market size is predicted to grow from US$ 494 million in 2025 to US$ 1328 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Automotive thick copper PCBs refer to printed circuit boards used in automotive electronics that feature increased copper thickness, typically 2 oz or more, and sometimes exceeding 6 oz depending on the application. These boards provide excellent current-carrying capacity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. They are commonly used in high-power automotive systems such as battery management systems (BMS), motor controllers, LED headlight drivers, onboard inverters, and power modules. Thick copper PCBs ensure enhanced reliability and durability in harsh automotive environments involving high temperature, vibration, and power stress.
Automotive Thick Copper PCBs—typically defined as circuit boards with copper foil thickness exceeding 2oz (70µm), up to 6oz or more—are increasingly vital in EV power modules, on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, and high-voltage battery distribution units. As the automotive industry shifts toward electrification and higher voltage architectures (like 800V platforms), demand for thick copper designs is rising due to their superior current-carrying capacity, thermal management, and reliability under cyclic loads.
From a manufacturing perspective, thick copper PCBs require specialized processing: deeper etching control, reinforced lamination to mitigate warpage, and improved dielectric bonding to withstand high operating temperatures. Leading global suppliers such as TTM, AT&S, and Schweizer have established expertise in complex multilayer thick copper constructions, often combined with HDI features for compact layouts.Chinese manufacturers are catching up quickly. They leverage domestic supply chains and process innovation to provide cost-effective solutions with shorter lead times, gaining traction among local EV OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
Looking forward, widespread adoption of SiC MOSFETs in traction inverters and fast chargers will further increase technical demands on thick copper PCB designs. Emphasis will be placed on reducing parasitic inductance, integrating dedicated heat-spreading layers, and improving long-term mechanical stability.
Overall, the automotive thick copper PCB segment is expected to sustain double-digit growth over the next few years, underpinned by high-voltage EV platforms and the electrification of auxiliary power systems. Manufacturers capable of combining high copper weight processing with fine-line precision and cost competitiveness will be best positioned to lead this rapidly evolving market.
