An aluminum cable is an electrical cable that utilizes aluminum conductors to carry electrical currents. Aluminum cables are commonly used in various applications, including power transmission, distribution, and electrical wiring in buildings and industrial settings. Aluminum cables are chosen for specific applications based on their properties and characteristics.
Aluminum cable possess favorable properties such as high tensile strength and high voltage wiring, which make it a preferred solution for manufacturers involved in manufacturing electronics components. Use of aluminum cables results in higher weight saving and improves the fuel economy than the traditional materials such as steel and copper. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced an investment of $19.7 million for the Vehicle Technologies Office to support R&D of advanced vehicle technologies, including batteries and lightweight & low-cost aluminum cable for the development of energy-efficient automobiles. Aluminum cables be employed in the battery management systems of EVs and HEVs, where they help in monitoring and controlling the battery's performance. Furthermore, aluminum cables are used in EV charging infrastructure to transmit high currents from the charging station to the vehicle's battery system. The lighter weight of aluminum cables makes them easier to handle and install in charging stations. These factors are expected to drive the market growth in the growing electronics industry during the forecast period.
Various major and emerging countries are imposing limits on free trade, which is expected to hamper the expansion of the aluminum cables market during the forecast period. Post-Brexit, trade restrictions between the UK and other European nations are likely to increase, while the new trade agreement between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, imposed by the U.S. government is likely to increase the price of metal components imported from Mexico. According to the official journal of the European Union, the European Union imposed additional taxes on aluminum foil imported from China after the European Commission decided that Chinese producers benefited from disproportionate and unjustified subsidies. For instance, according to the official journal of the EU, tariffs on a specific thin grade of aluminum converter foil, which went into effect in December 2021, vary from 8.6% to 18.2% and are in addition to the existing anti-dumping taxes of 6% to 28.5%. Owing to the expected increase in production costs and tariffs, a decline in global free trade is projected to hamper the expansion of the market.
In both residential and non-residential environments, aluminum cables be used for wiring and connectivity.

Executive Summary
According to this report, the aluminum cable market was valued at $22.8 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $38.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2032.Aluminum cable, also known as aluminum electrical cable or aluminum cable, refers to electrical conductors made primarily of aluminum metal. It is used for power transmission and distribution in various applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Aluminum cables are an alternative to copper cables, which are used for electrical wiring. Aluminum is chosen as a conductor material due to its desirable properties, such as high conductivity, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness compared to copper. In addition, aluminum cables require proper installation techniques and connectors specifically designed for aluminum conductors. Owing to the differences in electrical and mechanical properties compared to copper, special considerations should be taken to ensure safe and reliable electrical connections when working with aluminum cables.
