The growth of the automotive sector is expected to drive the expansion of the insulated cables market. Insulated cables are essential in the automotive industry, as they withstand unique stresses during the manufacturing process and connect car batteries with various components. The sector's growth is fueled by technological innovations, increasing demand for electric vehicles, improved safety features, and advancements in autonomous driving. This surge in automotive activity is boosting the demand for insulated cables, as they are crucial for vehicle wiring, safety systems, and electric vehicle components, requiring high-quality electrical solutions. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts, an Australian government agency, there were 20.7 million registered motor vehicles as of January 31, 2022, representing a 2% increase from January 2021. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) totaled about 40,000, marking a 100% increase from 2021, with 34,200 being passenger cars, up by 118%. Hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) numbered approximately 277,000 in 2022, reflecting a 35% increase from 2021. Therefore, the automotive sector's expansion is driving the growth of the insulated cables market.

Anticipated growth in the insulated cables market is primarily associated with the expanding need for electricity. Globally, the demand for electricity is on the rise due to several factors such as increasing prosperity, commercial expansion, population growth, technological advancements, a booming renewable energy sector, infrastructure investments, burgeoning middle-class populations in developing nations, and an escalating requirement for high-speed data transmission. Insulated cables play a critical role in safeguarding individuals and equipment from electrical shock by effectively preventing current flow to unintended areas. As per data from the Energy Information Administration in 2022, approximately 96% of total US utility-scale electricity generation, primarily sold to other sectors, was derived from the electric power industry. This escalating demand for electricity is a significant driving force behind the growth of the insulated cables market.

Prominent companies in the insulated cables market are actively engaged in developing innovative solutions tailored for the automotive industry, such as KetaSpire KT-857. This high-purity PEEK extrusion compound specifically serves as insulation for copper magnet wire in electric motors. Solvay, a Belgium-based chemicals company, introduced KetaSpire KT-857 in May 2023, a new polyetheretherketone (PEEK) extrusion aimed at monolayer e-motor magnet wire insulation. The technology obviates the need for a primer and topcoat, streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing costs. Moreover, the compound ensures enhanced adhesion in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.

Major companies in the insulated cables market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as cables utilizing electron beam cross-linked technology, to enhance durability, performance under extreme conditions, and the lifespan of cables in diverse applications. Electron beam cross-linked technology uses high-energy electron beams to modify polymers, creating cross-links that improve material strength, heat resistance, and overall durability. For example, in August 2024, V-Marc Limited, an India-based company specializing in appliances, electrical, and electronics manufacturing, launched Flexi Tough HFFR wires and eB+ Power Cables. These cables incorporate Electron Beam Cross-Linked technology, offering superior durability and performance. They are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and corrosion, making them suitable for various applications. Constructed with high-conductivity copper and specialized e-Beam Cross-Linked XLPO polymer insulation, these cables provide enhanced electrical properties and are built to last over 60 years.
