North America Wire and Cable Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Type and End Use Industry

The wire and cable market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 27,373.43 million in 2022 to US$ 39,405.04 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2022 to 2028.

Increasing Adoption of Wire and Cable in Aircraft Industry

Thin, flexible, and durable wire ropes known as aircraft wire and cable are used to maintain the electrical network installed in aircraft. Copper and stainless steel metals and alloys with high strength, long durability, and good electrical conductivity are used in the production of aircraft wire and cable. The increased need for new aircraft and the durability and adaptability of these cables considerably boost market expansion. Moreover, commercial aircraft employ adaptable, lightweight wires and cables for the lighting and flight control systems. During navigation and landing, high-frequency aircraft cables are used for radio data transmission and air traffic management. Therefore, aircraft cables are flame-resistant. Moreover, in-flight entertainment applications for passengers also employ data bus wires. In addition, because of cheap plane tickets and the reduction in travel time during the past few years, more people have taken to flying. The wire and cable market is expected to grow exponentially in the upcoming years due to the existence of stringent regulations that encourage the replacement of strands regularly and an increase in the number of companies in the civil aviation industry. The need for electrification of aircraft by the civil & defense aviation industries has increased due to a growth in the aircraft industry's contribution to air pollution and the expanding number of nations vowing to attain the level of zero carbon emission by 2050. Thus, the rising adoption of wire and cable in the aircraft industry is driving the demand for wire and cable.
