The global Wire & Cable market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2024 to 2029, with a projected value of USD 266.2 billion by 2029, up from USD 201.0 billion in 2024. This growth is observed due to the addition of renewable power in to the energy generation through harnessing of energy from solar and wind that entails the use of cables in the transmission process. Also, an increase in electric vehicle (EV) demand is extending the need for sophisticated wiring systems for such efficiency driving solutions. The advances in technology, smart grid, and inclusion of IoT (Internet of Things) provides a continuous boost to the market to increase the more advanced and effective cable systems.
The underground installation segment to be the fastest growing segment in terms of value in the global wire & cable market.
Underground installation is expected to register the highest CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) during the forecasted period, reflecting the increase in preference for underground installation over traditional installation systems. This growth is observed due to several factors, including the desire for enhanced reliability, safety, and aesthetic appeal in urban areas. Underground cables offer high protection from environmental hazards, such as severe weather conditions and accidental damage which reduce maintenance costs and improve system longevity.The electronic wires are expected to dominate the global wire & cable market in terms of value.
The product type segment includes electronic wires, power cables, control & instrumentation cables, communication cables, and flexible & specialty cables. Among these, the electronic wire is expected to dominate this segment and also be the fastest-growing segment in the forecasted period. Electronic wires are an irrepressible component of electronic equipment. The growing electrification and increasing use of electronic devices in daily life are boosting the demand for electronic wires.The wire & cables made from metals are expected to dominate the global wire & cable market in terms of value.
The wire and cables are primarily made up of metals and polymers. Metals include copper and aluminium which have excellent electrical conductivity. These are essential components of a wire and cable and thus are expected to dominate the market in the forecasted period. Copper is used in wires and cables where the requirement is for high electricity conductivity and aluminum is used in cost-effective and lightweight wire and cables. Up to date, there is no substitute raw material developed for metals that can be used in wire and cable. Thus, as we see growth in the wire & cable market there is an expected increase in wire & cable made from metals.Low voltage segment is expected to dominate the market.
The wire and cable market is divided into four categories: extra-high, high, medium, and low voltage. Due to their adaptability, low voltage wires and cables make up the highest portion of the wire and cable market. In-home, commercial, and industrial settings, these components are helpful for conveying signals and electric power. This is because they are widely used in lighting systems, appliances, and network circuit age and are inexpensive, making them popular in both public and private domains in society. There is always a need for high-quality low voltage cables to be supplied and supported since more sophisticated buildings and structures are being built, and energy-saving features are being added to buildings.Automotive end-use industry is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during forecast period.
The automotive industry is the fastest growing end-use industry in the wire and cable market, backed by technological innovations in vehicle manufacturing and growing concern for automotive electrification. With the development of new models of cars like electric and hybrid ones, there is a massive shift in demand for solutions to meet these efficient wiring requirements to support the high voltage and ADAS as well as infotainment systems. The nowadays’ vehicles with high-end built-in electronics, sensors, and connectivity modules also support this demand, as well as requiring industry-specific cables of high performance and durability meeting automotive applications. Further, the drive for safety in vehicles and comfort to passengers is putting pressure on manufactures to adopt cables that include light and flex designs to enhance the efficiency of the vehicles.Asia Pacific is the largest regional level market in the global wire & cable market.
Asia Pacific is to be the largest and fastest growing region for wire & cable attributed to rapid urbanization coupled with extensive infrastructure projects, and robust economic growth. Countries like China and India are developing and expanding the infrastructure for electrical grids, telecommunication and transportation need wire and cables which required these products. An emerging construction industry and growth in the use of IT applications in electrical systems and distribution networks, including smart grids and renewable systems, are other factors to this increase.This study has been validated through primaries conducted with various industry experts, globally.
