An increase in the global population with the respective disposable income of consumers is the key factor that will boost the demand for residential homes and various other construction projects. This is predicted to push the demand side for power cable material in the upcoming years.

Also, increase in technological advancements in material sciences, improved synthetic insulating compounds have been developed from thermoplastic, thermosetting, and fluorocarbon materials, such materials are largely used in the development of power cable insulation and jacketing.

Developed countries are assimilating wind with other renewable energies by expanding their power transmission with distribution networks to an extent to electrify remote and rural areas. HVDC cables, LV cables, and the optic fiber cable market are huge areas for market growth.

The development of intelligent cable technology has been analyzed that can record different parameters throughout the cable system. This technology has also raised the expectation to make energy and data streams more secure and effluent which will create a lucrative opportunity for the market.

But previously due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large impact has affected the overall growth of the global cable material market in the past 2-3 years. Yet, the global market will grow, but at a slower pace due to the minimal involvement of industrial activity in several regions of the world, supply chain barriers, and also restrictions on the cross - border trade and transportation.

Only due to this, there has been a delay in construction projects and also low demand from different end-use industries. However, the long-term outlook with thus remain stable given the strong demand for power infrastructure development.

North America dominates the cable material market globally due to the rapid advance defense systems in these regions. Therefore, the rapid advancement in the aerospace and defense sector in the USA is anticipated to boost sales as the world’s top exporters and manufacturers of defense products are situated here.

Also, the USA and Canada have witnessed accelerated growth in data consumption, resulting in investments by companies such as AT&T and Verizon in the fiber optic network region.

What is Driving Demand for Cable Material?

Rise in global population and increase in disposable income of consumers are key factors boosting the demand for residential homes and various other construction projects. This is estimated to propel the demand for power cable materials over the next few years.

Furthermore, increasing technological advancements in material sciences, improved synthetic insulating compounds which has been developed from thermoplastic, thermosetting and fluorocarbon materials. These materials are widely used for developing power cable insulation and jacketing. Thus, growing power cable usage is anticipated to fuel the market demand in the forthcoming years.

The developed countries are integrating wind and other renewable energies, and are expanding their power transmission and distribution networks to extent electrification to remote and rural areas. HVDC cables in the electrical transmission, LV cables for building and vehicles, and active fiber optic cable market in the telecom are huge areas for market growth.

Power Sector To Propel Market Sales

Increasing demand for electricity in the emerging and developed countries, backed by increasing investment in infrastructure, is expected to drive the cables market globally.

Moreover, an intelligent cable technology has been developed that can analyze and record different parameters throughout the cable system. This technology is expected to make energy and data streams more secure and efficient that create a lucrative opportunity for the market in the upcoming years.

But the outbreak of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have a strong impact on the overall growth of the global cable materials market in 2020. The global market will grow at a sluggish rate in the year due to minimum industrial activity in several regions of the world, supply chain barriers, and restrictions on cross-border trade and transportation.

With closure of the automotive sector, delay in construction projects, and low demand from various end-use industries, the global cable materials market is expected to grow at a slow pace. However long term outlook remains stable given the strong demand from power infrastructure development.
