The US government announced a $2 trillion plan to upgrade the nation's infrastructure in order to establish the most robust, inventive economy in the world. The plan also includes 20,000 miles of reconstructed highways, repairs to ten key bridges, and projects to build a more resilient electrical transmission infrastructure in order to reach carbon-free electricity generation by 2035. Such activities are projected to improve regional wire and cable market growth significantly. The government of the United States has made a number of efforts to stimulate the use of smart grid technology. For instance, the New York State government, through NYSERDA, has made major investments in the development of smart energy systems. The region strives to expand renewable energy technology, reduce carbon emissions, and improve grid stability. Thus, government measures to develop smart grids drive the North American wires and cables market significantly.

The integration of smart technologies into cables has been an area of innovation. These smart cables can provide real-time monitoring of various parameters such as temperature, voltage, and current, enabling more efficient management and maintenance of electrical systems. PoE technology allows for the transmission of both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This technology is commonly used in applications such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and smart lighting systems. Fiber optic cables are extensively used in communication networks due to their high-speed data transmission capabilities. They also enable optical sensing, where changes in the fiber's properties can be detected and used for monitoring applications like temperature sensing or intrusion detection. Some smart cables incorporate energy harvesting technologies to generate power from the environment. This can include harnessing kinetic energy, thermal energy, or solar energy to power sensors or other electronic components within the cable.

Based on the report, the market is segmented into voltage type, low voltage, medium voltage, high voltage and optical fiber cable. Among them the market is dominated by low voltage in 2022. The optical fiber cable segment is anticipated to gain highest CAGR of the market during the forecast period. Low-voltage wire is widely used in residential and commercial buildings for a variety of purposes, including lighting, power outlets, HVAC systems, and communication networks. The extensive usage of low-voltage cables in homes, businesses, retail spaces, and other applications has resulted in a significant demand for these cables. Many current technologies and equipment, like LED lighting systems, smart home automation, and communication networks, require low-voltage electricity. As these technologies mature and gain acceptance, the need for low-voltage connections to support their integration and interconnection grows. When compared to high-voltage cables, low-voltage cables are frequently easier to install and work with. They are more adaptable and necessitate fewer sophisticated installation techniques, potentially lowering labour costs and installation time. Low-voltage cables' flexibility also allows for better routing and incorporation into existing structures. In general, low-voltage wire and cable products are less expensive than their high-voltage counterparts. Lower voltage levels necessitate less insulation, and cables are often smaller in size, resulting in lower material and installation costs. Because of this economic benefit, low-voltage cables are more appealing for a wide range of applications, particularly in residential construction and restoration projects.
