Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction Market Report 2026

The power and communication line and related structures construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $325.35 billion in 2025 to $336.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of traditional power grid infrastructure, early adoption of telecom tower networks, reliance on imported metallic components, steady demand for utility upgrades, growth of national electrification programs.

The power and communication line and related structures construction market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $406.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of smart grid technologies, rising need for high-speed communication networks, expansion of renewable energy transmission lines, growing investment in grid resilience, adoption of advanced monitoring and automation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of national grid modernization projects, rising demand for high-capacity communication towers, growth in renewable energy transmission infrastructure, increased construction of cross-border power and data lines, upgrades to aging power distribution and communication networks.

The factor contributing to the market's growth is the rising demand for renewable energy. The increasing adoption of sustainable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, necessitates the construction of new power lines and related structures to integrate and distribute clean energy within the existing grid. For instance, in the third quarter of 2023, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero reported a record-high renewable electricity generation of 30.1 terawatt-hours in the UK, marking a 6.8% increase from the same period in 2022. This escalating demand for renewable energy sources is a key driver fueling the expansion of the power and communication line and related structures construction market.

Major companies in the power and communication line and related structures construction market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as integrated mobile infrastructure systems, to improve energy efficiency and provide reliable power and communication in remote or off-grid locations. An integrated mobile infrastructure solution combines communication, networking, and data management technologies into a portable system, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient operations in remote or rapidly deployable settings. For example, in October 2024, Solaris Technologies Services LLC, a US-based provider of mobile tower and power solutions, introduced the Solaris hybrid power tower paired with a mobile power station, an advanced mobile infrastructure system designed to deliver uninterrupted, eco-efficient power for communication line installations and temporary network deployments. The hybrid power tower integrates solar energy with battery storage and an optional generator backup, offering extended runtime, reduced fuel consumption, and lower carbon emissions. Its modular design allows for rapid deployment and scalability, making it suitable for construction sites, emergency communications, and rural connectivity projects. This development highlights the market’s move toward sustainable and resilient energy systems that support the expansion of power and communication infrastructure.

In December 2023, ClearlyIP Inc., a US-based provider of innovative communication solutions, completed the acquisition of Voneto’s EPlatform, an advanced PBX system, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move underscores ClearlyIP's commitment to delivering exceptional communication solutions and expands its product range to align with the evolving needs of global businesses. Voneto LLC is a Belgium-based provider of unified communications solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on steel, aluminum, electrical components, and communication hardware have raised construction costs for transmission towers, conductors, insulators, and related structures, particularly affecting large-scale industrial and commercial projects across North America and Asia. These cost increases have extended project timelines and slowed deployment of new power and communication infrastructure. However, tariffs have also encouraged domestic manufacturing capacity expansion and stimulated investment in alternative materials and localized supply chains, offering long-term strategic benefits for the sector.
