The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization's impact, energy demand growth, urbanization and infrastructure, renewable energy adoption, aging infrastructure replacement.

The medium voltage cable market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to supply chain dynamics, energy efficiency regulations, government investments, electric vehicle adoption, urbanization trends. Major trends in the forecast period include safety & environmental standards, resilience & reliability requirements, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, digitalization in energy sector, energy transition policies.

The growing demand for electricity has significantly propelled the medium voltage cable market in the historical period. Medium-voltage cables play a crucial role in supplying electrical energy to regions within a power grid. The pandemic further heightened the demand for electronic devices, such as laptops and desktops, due to the surge in remote work culture, which subsequently increased the need for medium-voltage cables. For example, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, indicated that the United States saw a 2.6% rise in electricity demand in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the increasing demand for electricity has driven the growth of the medium voltage cable market during this period.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the expansion of the medium voltage cable market in the years ahead. EVs are vehicles that operate on electricity obtained from batteries or supplied from external power sources. Medium voltage cables are used in EVs for efficient power distribution, reducing energy losses during charging processes, and supporting higher charging capacities. For example, in July 2023, the Electric Vehicle Council, a national trade association for the electric car sector based in Australia, reported that by the end of June 2023, 46,624 EVs had been sold in Australia, marking a 269% increase compared to the same period in 2022. Therefore, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is a key driver of the medium voltage cable market.

Technological advancements are significantly influencing the medium voltage cable market. Companies within this sector are directing their efforts toward creating environmentally friendly products. Take, for example, Philatron, a US-based custom cable and wire manufacturer, whose latest offering, the Philatron-EF Environmental Friendly Power Cables, stands out. These cables are crafted using a unique proprietary blend of recyclable thermoplastics, surpassing the performance of TR-XLPE (tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene) and EPR (ethylene propylene rubber). Notably, they boast a higher dielectric strength value, are free from toxic elements, and are excellently suited for recyclability purposes.

Major players in the medium voltage cable market are embracing a strategic partnership approach concerning framework agreements for medium voltage cables. This approach involves companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in June 2023, Prysmian Group S.p.A., an Italy-based manufacturer specializing in electrical cables for the energy and telecommunications sectors, along with optical fiber production, announced a partnership with National Grid PLC, a UK-based utility company for electricity and gas. The collaboration aims to modernize the UK's power grid, enabling it to accommodate increased power distribution in the future, crucial for the ongoing energy transition. Prysmian's manufacturing facility in Wrexham, North Wales, will predominantly supply medium voltage cables to aid National Grid in expanding and modernizing its network to meet rising demands.

In April 2022, Ravin Group, an India-based manufacturer of wires and cable acquired Cable Corporation of India Limited for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aims to bolster Ravin Group's manufacturing capacities specifically in the production of voltage cables ranging from 250v to 400kv. Furthermore, it positions Ravin Group strongly within the cable manufacturing markets. Cable Corporation of India Limited, also based in India, specializes in manufacturing electric cables.
