ARMORED CABLE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global armored cable market size was USD 42.15 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 72.79 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

A cable having a metal coating for protection is said to be armored. The fiber optic cable in armored cable assemblies is protected from rodents and given greater stiffness for aerial lashing. This makes them ideal for lashed aerial applications.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Adverse Effect of Pandemic to Impede Market Expansion 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the armored cable experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The bulk of industries have seen negative repercussions globally during the past year. This can be attributed to the significant interruptions produced in each company's production and supply-chain operations by the different precautionary lockdowns and other restrictions that were imposed by governing bodies around the world. The same is true for the global armored cable market. Additionally, because this outbreak has had a negative influence on the general economic situation of the majority of people, consumer demand has now fallen as people have become more focused on reducing non-essential spending from their individual budgets.

By Application

Classification based on application into the following segment: Infrastructure Construction, Gas & Oil Industrial, Construction and Manufacturing Industrial, and Mining Industrial.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Construction Activities to Accelerate Market Growth

The market's expansion is also aided by an increase in construction activity on a global scale. The majority of rising nations are making significant investments in infrastructure expansion to improve economic circumstances. Thus, the building and remodeling of public and private facilities has also fueled the need for cable glands by increasing the requirement for safe cable connections.

Increasing Demand for Metal-Clad to Propel Market Growth

Due to their great mechanical protection and endurance, metal-clad cables are becoming more and more popular in construction and industrial applications, and manufacturers are boosting their output capacity for these materials. Additionally, installing these cables takes less man hours. Metal-clad cables are becoming more and more common in industrial, utility, and commercial applications. Interlocked armor is more adaptable than electrical conduits. These cables are used in systems with numerous bends spaced closely together. These represent the market opportunity for armored cables.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Risk of Damage to Decrease Market Growth

Cleaning teams run the risk of damaging cables, and lost wires present a trip hazard. Additionally, compared to wireless devices that may be unplugged during storms or power outages, always-on technology systems may be more vulnerable to electrical surges and damage.
