The Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC(R)) market is growing rapidly, due to factors like design change, increased product efficiency and emerging markets. Copper’s natural engineering properties—including high conductivity, durability and workability—give it a dominant role in this $140 billion industry.
A study commissioned by the International Copper Association (ICA) and carried out by MetalsPlus Research & Consulting outlines key market drivers and sector developments and highlights copper’s role in leading the HVAC(R) industry.
