“One of the latest trends gaining traction in the seamless copper tubes market is the emergence of copper microgrooves. Microgrooves are well suited to handle the higher pressures of new refrigerants while meeting cost reduction goals and sustainability concerns. The use of copper microgrooves is anticipated to play a fundamental role in the design of sustainable ACR products during the forecast period,” says Chandrakumar BJG, Lead Analyst, Chemicals & Materials, Technavio Research

Currently, level wound coils (LWC) accounts for 39% of the seamless copper tubes market. The LWC grooved and plain coils are mostly used in air-conditioning and refrigeration. By using LWC lined tubes in fin block heat exchangers, the efficiency of the heat exchanger can be increased up to 30% depending on the application.

The key vedors in the seamless copper tubes market in the MENA region include Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube, Luvata, MetTube, Mueller and KMCT. This market is highly fragmented with the demand catered by many suppliers located across the world. Qaem Copper and Mehrsal in Iran are the major suppliers of seamless copper tubes in the region primarily catering to the local demand in Iran and exporting in smaller quantities to other Middle East countries. The market in MENA depends heavily on imports from Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, USA and European suppliers as there are no key local suppliers apart from Iran.
