Insulated Wire and Cable Market

Insulated Wire and Cable Market Outlook - 2027

The global insulated wire and cable market size was valued at $160.54 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $244.23 billion by 2027, to register a CAGR of 5.3% from 2020 to 2027. Insulated wire and cable consists of non-conductive material that provide resistant from electric current. Wire and cable insulation protects the wire material from environmental threats such as water, heat etc., and gives better insulability at hightemperatures.

The telecommunication segment is expected to attain positive growth, owing to expansion of network establishment and data centers during the pandemic.

An insulated wire generally used in equipment such as fire alarm, heating device, automobile,and others needs safety at a high operating temperature. The effectiveness & safety of the wire depend on its insulation. An insulated wire of this category is usually molded by a conductor, which is coated with heat resilient organic resin such as fluororesin. There are various types of insulation wire and cable materials used for insulation, whichare selected on the basis of usage such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Semi-Rigid PVC (SR-PVC), Polyurethane (PUR), Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), Nylon, Neoprene (Polychloroprene), Silicone, Fiberglass, Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), Rubber, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE).Insulation wire and cable materials are widely available at a reasonable price.

The global insulated wire and cable market is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Factors such as growth in urbanization and rise in investments toward infrastructure development projects worldwide drive the growth of the insulated wire and cable market. The working of the whole world relies upon the timely delivery of electric supply. High usage of insulated wire and cable has been seen in the power sector in the recent time. Furthermore, the expanding population leads to rise in demand for power.

However, growing wireless technologies is a major restraint to global insulated wire and cable industry. Also, the North American region is expected to create opportunities for the insulated wire and cable industry, owing to vast increase in data consumption, which has resulted in investments by major telecommunication companies such as Verizon and AT&T in fiber networks.

Segment Overview

The global insulated wire and cable market is segmented into material, installation, voltage, end user, and region. By material, the market is segmented into metal, plastic, and optical fiber. The installation segment is divided into overhead, underground, and submarine. By voltage, the market is fragmented into low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage. Depending on end user, the market is segregated into telecommunication, energy & power, electronics, construction, automotive, and others.

Region wise, the insulated wire and cable market trends are analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).APAC is expected to develop at highest rate during the forecast period, owing to growingdemand for power, light & communication in the developing regions like China, India, Japan, and South Korea.

In India, the government initiatives such as “Make in India,” policy is expected to drive the market in the region. Additionally, Indian government planned to make the country one of the major electrical equipment manufacturer & attain business of USD 100 billion by matching the import & exports, as per “Indian Electrical Equipment Industry Mission Plan 2012-2022” of Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises Government of India, hence, driving the demand for wires and cablesduring the forecast period.

Leading insulated wire and cable manufacturerssuch as General Cable Technologies Corporation, Nexans, and Southwire Company LLC, etc. are focusing their investment oncost-effective, technologically advanced, and more secure products for various applications.

Top Impacting Factors

The prominent factors that impact the insulated wire and cable market growth are increasing use of wires in the automotive sector, underground cables, and insulated optical fiber cables.However,Internet of Things which boost wireless technologiesmakes negative impact the market growth. On the contrary,surge in number of data centers, & development of smart cities is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.  Each of these factors is likely to have a definite impact on the growth of the global insulated wire and cable during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The overall effect of the COVID-19 outbreak is impacting the production process of several industries of insulated wire and cable market. As government of different provinces have already announced total lockdown and temporarily shutdown of industries, the overall production process being adversely affected; thus, hinder the overall insulated wire and cable market opportunity globally.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society & overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak is rising day-by-day as well as affecting the supply chain. The crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market, massive slowing of supply chain, falling business confidence, and increase in panic among the customer segments.

The Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered in major loss of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. The operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been negatively impacted, but demand for cables has been increased in IT & telecom sector owing to expansion of internet networks, data centers, among others by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease; thereby, overall insulated wire and cable market growth almost remain unchanged in 2020.

The COVID-19 has been impacted severely on the electronics sector as the production facility have stalled, which in turn have the significant demand in the industries. The symptoms include a large-scale manufacturing interruption across Europe, interruption in Chinese parts exports, which may hinder the insulated wire and cable market outlook.
