The global superconducting cables market size was US$ 325 million in 2021, the market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period.

Electrical wires created from a variety of precisely crafted metal alloys that offer zero electrical resistance under a particular temperature are known as superconducting wires. The material and physical characteristics of the wire affect this temperature. Low, medium, and higher temperature superconductivity wires are the three different varieties. One of the most widely used high temperature superconducting materials is Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO), while one of the most widely utilized low temperature superconductors is niobium-titanium. Every industrial application uses superconducting wires to increase energy efficiency.

Advanced diagnostic tools like MRI and NMR devices, which use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are created using these superconducting wires. In order to produce, transfer, and distribute energy, these are also utilized in wind turbines, electric motors, generators, transformers, and generators. A cost-effective option for boosting the energy efficiency of electrical systems, superconducting wires feature unique properties like limitless conduction, zero electric opposition, and temperature transition.

COVID-19 Impact: Interruption in Supply Chains to Deplete Market Growth

The basics of the industry, including consumer behavior, commercial revenue, and several areas of corporate operations, have been drastically changed by COVID-19. Future prospects for many businesses are murky, and others might not make it out of the crisis. Depending on prospective government initiatives and other factors that are currently difficult to anticipate, various recovery scenarios are feasible. According to both recovery scenarios, sales growth in the majority of semiconductor categories was negative in 2020. However, looking in advance to 2021, it is anticipated that the outlook will get better as the superconducting cables market will recover, largely considering the initial estimate for 2020 will be significantly less than it was in prior years.

Driving Factors

"Rising Implementations in Public Transit to Boost Market Share "

It has been demonstrated that connection can carry a significant quantity of energy across vast distances with less infrastructure development than traditional wire arrangements.  Compared to normal wires, high-temperature superconducting wire, fault current limiters, transformers, and generator have made it possible to guarantee minimal power transmission losses.   As high-temperature superconducting cables are installed on or below ground, superconductors also reduce the capital expenditure needed to build overhead transmission systems along with electromagnetic interferences, which are required for conventional wires.

A number of nations intend to improve their power transmission by utilizing superconducting cables. Superconducting cable infrastructures reduce energy and financial losses during electricity transmission via ordinary lines. In addition, due to the increased field strength, it is anticipated that the use of low-temperature superconducting materials in MRI and NMR will improve image clarity compared to their traditional equivalents.  With a growing population comes a healthy increase in the need for quick and energy-efficient public transit. Therefore, the rising implementation will boost up the superconducting cables market share.

"High Temperature Superconducting Materials to Expand Market Forwarding"

Over the course of the forecast period, high temperature superconducting materials section is anticipated to account for a considerably larger revenue share by type. This is explained by a number of elements, including the widespread use of high temperature superconductive wires in MRI machines, CT scans, and various other medical equipment, magnetic resonance spectrometers, particles beam therapy, and the growing use of high temperature superconducting materials in power dissemination due to the trend toward miniaturization in electronic circuits. In addition, compared with low and moderate-temperature superconductors, high temperature superconductivity wires require less expensive cryogenic cooling systems. In the future, this is also anticipated to fuel the superconducting cables market share.

Restraining Factors

"Lack of Technical Expertise to Deplete Market Advancement "

The majority of power transmission lines throughout the world are wired conventionally. To attain the necessary cost-efficiency and economy of scale, superconducting wires still require ongoing research and development. Their market penetration is low. Additionally, the energy industry lacks technical knowledge and maintenance expertise related to superconducting technology. The government of various nations and certain commercial entities are hesitant to invest in and embrace this technology as a result of the aforementioned factors, which has hindered market demand

In addition, the majority of applications, including Maglev, fusion reactors, airborne motors, rocket movement, high-field magnets, and engines, are still in the early stages of product development with significant investment being made in the search for new superconducting materials. The reliability of superconducting wires is being hampered by an absence of user experience.
