The high voltage cable market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on energy transition, expansion of offshore wind farms, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, focus on grid resilience and reliability, increasing power demand in emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in cable technologies, digitalization and smart grid technologies, focus on energy efficiency and loss reduction, integration of smart grid technologies, development of high-performance materials.

The high voltage cables market is anticipated to grow due to the increasing demand for electricity. High-voltage cables are widely used in power transfer, distribution, electric stations, and municipal networks. The International Energy Agency's projection of a 2.4% increase in global electricity demand in 2022, as reported in July 2022, emphasizes the rising consumption of electricity. The escalating demand for electricity is expected to boost the utilization of high voltage cables, driving market growth during the forecast period.

The rising investment in infrastructure is anticipated to drive the growth of the high-voltage cables market in the coming years. Infrastructure encompasses the physical and organizational structures and facilities essential for the functioning of a society, industry, or enterprise. High-voltage cables are vital components of infrastructure, enabling efficient transmission of electrical power across various applications, including transportation, utilities, and communication systems. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that total investment in the infrastructure sector reached approximately $17.5 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase compared to 2022. Additionally, the estimated net stocks of infrastructure in the market sector amounted to around $431.1 billion (£350.2 billion), reflecting a modest rise of 0.3% from the previous year. Consequently, the increasing investment in infrastructure is fueling the growth of the high-voltage cables market.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are emerging as a significant trend in the high-voltage cables market. Companies within this sector are increasingly joining forces to strengthen their competitive positioning and enhance operational capabilities. For example, in September 2023, Prysmian Group entered into a €1.1 billion contract with 50Hertz for the NOR-11-1 submarine cable and DC31 underground cable projects in Germany. This collaboration aims to boost power transmission efficiency and support Germany's renewable energy goals by facilitating the integration of offshore wind energy into the grid. Such partnerships underscore the industry's dedication to leveraging combined expertise for sustainable growth and innovation.

Major companies are dedicated to developing advanced sustainable solutions, such as cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) solutions, for high-voltage transmission to gain a competitive edge. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a thermosetting polymer enhancing cable insulation's durability and heat resistance, ensuring improved performance and longevity. For instance, in July 2023, Dow, a US-based materials science company, introduced ENDURANCE HFDD-4201 SC Compound, a novel XLPE solution for cable systems in the North American market. This solution reduces degassing times during cable manufacturing, leading to lower CO2 emissions without compromising quality. When used in manufacturing processes, ENDURANCE Compounds contribute to delivering high-quality underground power transmission cables meeting global reliability and durability standards.

In March 2022, Ravin Group, an India-based solutions provider in the areas of cables, solar, EHV projects, and power equipment, acquired Cable Corporation of India Ltd for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, the Ravin Group aims to enhance its manufacturing capacity and extend its presence across the country. Cable Corporation of India Ltd., an India-based manufacturer of high voltage cables, aligns with Ravin Group's growth strategy.
