Report Description
Market Outlook:
The global Cuprous Oxide (CAS 1317-39-1) Market was valued at USD 702.8 Million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 910.3 Million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period. Cuprous oxide (chemical formula - Cu2O) refers to an inorganic compound and is one of the oxides of copper. It appears as a powder of red, brown, or yellow color, is widely recognized as a semiconductor material since the 1980s, and has gathered attention as a feasible photocatalyst for degradation of chemicals for disinfecting pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. A key share of the demand for cuprous oxide stems from its use as an antifouling agent, especially in coatings and paints that are applied on marine vessels for prevention of barnacles and other organisms on the bottom of the vessel. Cuprous oxide is manufactured on an extensive scale by reducing mixed copper oxides ores with copper (metal) or via the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride by using copper electrodes.

Market Dynamics
The marine industry is expected to grow considerably during the forecast period, due to increasing e-commerce, digitalization of maritime transport, and growing demand for vessels. Coatings formulated with cuprous oxide have been used for over a century and are applied to around 90% of the world’s vessels, whose hulls are protected with bio-fouling control coatings, according to the American Coatings Association (ACA). This growth of the marine industry coupled with heavy usage of cuprous oxide in the industry is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
Growing global population, rising farmer income in countries such as the US, increasing globalization, and technological advances in the industry, that are empowering the speed, scale, and productivity of farm equipment, are anticipated to propel the agriculture industry. According to Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), the demand for food grain is anticipated to increase to 345 million tons by 2030 from 291 million tons in the span of 2019-2020. Cuprous oxide is used in fungicides, a substance used frequently in the agriculture industry. High demand for cuprous oxides from the growing agriculture industry is expected to drive the global cuprous oxide market.
Cuprous oxide is a highly reactive compound and produces highly reactive oxygen species. These molecules are unstable and have the capacity to damage cell structures. This tendency of the compound makes it an effective biocide, which is a substance that is intended to destroy harmful organisms. A surface infused with cuprous oxide is an extremely toxic area for a bacterium. This positive factor associated with cuprous oxide is expected to increase its demand for anti-bacterial purposes and drive the market during the forecast period.
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) has high utility; however, its usage has harmful effects on the environment. Cuprous oxide is applied on the bottom of marine vessels. This is harmful to organisms and the overall marine life, as copper in large concentration is fatal. Currently, governments across the globe are emphasizing on the protection of the environment and implementing polices that support eco-friendly practices. Usage and sale of copper-based antifouling paints is under scrutiny by regulatory authorities in the US such as the U.S. EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and restrictions are rising on the usage of cuprous oxide in paints. This rising prominence of environmental protection is expected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
In recent years, cuprous oxides in the form of nanoparticles are attracting a lot of attention, due to its multiple applications in optical sensors, electronics, and therapeutic applications. Cuprous oxide nanoparticles have low toxicity and anti-superbug & anti-bacterial properties through the release of copper ions and generation of reactive oxygen species. These benefits associated with cuprous oxide nanoparticles are expected to act as an opportunity for the growth of the global cuprous oxide market during the forecast period.
