The anticipated increase in air passenger traffic is set to drive the growth of the mechanical control cable market in the future. Air passenger traffic involves directing the movements of aircraft, and the surge in air travel is compelling aircraft companies to schedule more domestic and international flights. This, in turn, leads to heightened aircraft manufacturing activities, increasing the demand for mechanical control cables in critical components such as landing gears and aircraft flight control systems. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2022, total passenger traffic witnessed a substantial 64.4% increase compared to 2021. Specifically, in December 2022, there was a notable 39.7% rise in traffic compared to December 2021. Consequently, the upswing in air passenger traffic acts as a driving force for the mechanical control cable market.
The growing demand for electric vehicles is poised to fuel the growth of the mechanical control cable market in the coming years. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries, utilizing electric motors for propulsion. Mechanical control cables play a crucial role in EVs, enabling manual operation of various components such as brakes and accelerators, serving as a backup control mechanism alongside electronic systems. As per a report by the International Energy Agency in April 2023, the global electric car market witnessed significant growth, with sales surpassing 10 million in 2022. The percentage of electric cars in overall car sales rose from 9% in 2021 to 14% in 2022. Hence, the escalating demand for electric vehicles is a key driver for the mechanical control cable market.
A noteworthy trend gaining momentum in the mechanical control cable market is product innovation. Major companies in this market are actively developing innovative products to enhance their market positions. For example, in February 2023, Belden Incorporated, a US-based manufacturer specializing in networking, connectivity, and cable products, introduced Custom Broadcast Enclosures and Panels, along with NewGen CPR-Rated Access Control Cables. These new products by Belden, specifically the NewGen CPR-Rated Access Control Cables, provide enhanced ease and efficiency to security installations, reducing labor costs while ensuring excellent signal transmission performance.
