ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Electrical Wire and Cable Market size stood at USD 0.68 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.14 Billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 6.7%.

Electricity wires and cables are the lifeline of modern electricity supply networks for the conductance and distribution of electrical power. These basic parts comprise one or more electrical conductors, usually metallic conductors such as copper or aluminium, surrounded by insulating coverings such as PVC or rubber. Cables and wires are many varied types that are used for the different purposes; they are in transmission of power, in households, industries, and in telecommunication. 

GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING MILITARY BELT MARKET

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained due to Labour Scarcity

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

This market also had a number of threats during the COVID-19 pandemic. Covid restrictions affected operations, resulting in shortages in raw materials and parts. Output in the manufacturing industries was constrained by labour scarcity and shut-downs of factories. Furthermore, the decrease in demand from construction and automotive industries as well as from the manufacturing segment weakened the market. As a result of all these factors, production was cut, projects were delayed, and overall slow movement in the market was noticed.

LATEST TRENDS

Speciality Cables to Propel the Market Growth

There are several trends that explain the growth of this market. There’s high demand for speciality cables, particularly solar and wind, owing to the ever-growing world demand for the use of renewable energy forms. Residential upgrades are driving up the demand for cables to power electric vehicles. Also, increasing concern for smart grid technologies and the internet of things (IOT) is set to provide new applications for enhanced cable systems. In addition, the rising rate of urbanisation and industrialisation in developing countries is playing a part in the overall growth of demand for this product.

ELECTRICAL WIRE AND CABLE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Copper, Aluminum, Fiber Optic & Other

  • Copper: Construction works in infrastructure and establishments prefer copper wires and cables to other products due to their highly conductivity and reliability. They are in most applications in electricity transmission, power distribution, and telecommunications. However, the trespassing cost of copper can hinder the use of copper in such application domains.
  • Aluminium: Aluminium wires and cables are cheaper in terms of weight and prices, which makes them ideal for power transmission both for long-distance electric power transmission and overhead electric power transmission. It should, however, be noted that aluminium is slightly less conductive than copper, but with progress realised on aluminium alloys, it is quickly becoming efficient for use.
  • Fibre Optic: Fibre optic cables rely on light pulses to transfer information while enjoying high bandwidth capacity, low loss rate, and freedom from EMI. They are strategically applied in the telecommunications sector, data centres, as well as in networks.

By Application   

Based on application the market can be categorized into Communication, Power Distribution & Transmission, Home Appliances, Automotive & Others

  • Communication: Fibre optic cables are the major facilities of today’s telecommunication industries, providing fast data transfer. They can also be used for different communication purposes, such as telephone connections and computer networks.
  • Power Distribution & Transmission: Copper and aluminium conducts are very crucial and used in the dissemination and transmission of electric power. They are traditionally applied to overhead power lines, cable, and substation distribution systems.
  • Home Appliances: Beside electrical appliances such as fridges, washing machines, and air conditioners, copper wires for circuiting components and power continuity are often used in our day-to-day appliances.
  • Automotive: Despite the fact that aluminium has lower electrical conductivity than copper, both of these conductors are widely employed in automobile wires in view of their comparatively lower weight, flexibility, and ease of incorporation in the wiring harness. Also, fibre optic cables are used widely in modern vehicles for an advanced system such as data transmission and safety systems.
