SINGLE END CORDS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global single end cords market was valued at USD 0.27 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 0.28 billion in 2026, reaching USD 0.4 billion by 2035, with a projected CAGR of 4% from 2025 to 2035.

Single end cords are cables or cords with one end that has a particular connector or termination. In other words, these cords have a clear start and finish, with one end intended to plug into a certain port or device. As opposed to double-ended cords or cables, which have identical connectors on both ends, this is the case. They are frequently used in a wide range of electronic devices and applications, including USB cables, audio cables, and power cords for appliances.

They are created to offer a simple, standardized method of connecting devices without the use of adapters or extra connectors. Single end power cords are used by a large number of home appliances, including computers, televisions, and kitchen appliances. The cord has two ends: one plugs into the appliance, the other into a power outlet. Audio signals are transferred between devices by means of single-ended audio cables. Examples are patch wires for connecting instruments to audio equipment or headphone cables.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Industry Shutdown Causes Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with single end cords industry experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Pandemic caused problems for chemicals and advanced materials, including unstable markets, a drop in customer confidence, and difficulties with import and export commerce. A part of the global supply chain is the sourcing of raw materials, packaging, and distribution. Lockdowns have made it harder to transport goods, chemicals, and other items. Along with having an immediate influence on markets, supply chains, supply and demand, and all of these other things, it had a financial impact on the material markets. Chemical manufacturers are putting their attention towards handling this urgent issue on protecting their employees, operations, and supply networks. Due to how the pandemic changed the dynamics of the industry, businesses were forced to redesign every aspect of their internal operations in order to retain stability.

LATEST TRENDS

Wireless Technology to Boost the Market Growth 

The impact of wireless technology on the market has been significant and transformative. New methods of device connection made possible by wireless technology have changed both the requirement for and the appearance of these cords. It has caused a reduction in the dependence on certain of these cables. For instance, wireless syncing and file sharing lessen the need for data transfer wires, while wireless headphones and speaker do away with the requirement for audio cables.
