Medium Voltage Cable Market

Medium Voltage Cable Market Growth-2030

The global medium voltage cable market size was valued at $28.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $49.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2020 to 2030. Medium Voltage cable, or MV cable, is a category defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as having a voltage rating of above 1kV up to 100kV. Medium Voltage Cable is a power cable most often used in commercial, industrial, and electrical utility industries. The standard voltage rating for MV (medium voltage) cable falls between 5 kV and 35 kV; however this range can vary for different manufacturers and standards. Medium Voltage cables are mostly used for power supply in inclement weather, primary power supply from mobile substation in natural disaster or unpredictable power outages, power supply for construction of substation, power distribution to isolated areas & applications ranging from 5kv up to 35kv that are used in substations, transformers, and medium voltage generator sets.

The spread of the coronavirus had a severe impact on global economy through declines in exports, output, demand from overseas tourists and private use. The major exporter of electronic items and decrease in demand for electronics led to decline in demand for medium voltage cable and shows a huge decline in the market.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have been the key driving factors that sustain the growth of the medium voltage cables market.

Impact Of Covid-19 On The Global Medium Voltage Cable Market

• Sale of medium voltage cable is directly proportional to sales of mobiles, tablets and other gadgets. Global companies such as Philips, Panasonic, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Casio, Pioneer and others, has a significant share in the manufacturing of mobiles, camera, smart watches and others. The gadget (mobile, tablets, except laptop) industry has been negatively impacted amid the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded a huge decline in sale of mobiles & tablets in 2020, which also led to decline in sale of medium voltage cable.
• The spread of the coronavirus had a severe impact on global economy through declines in exports, output, demand from overseas tourists and private use. The major exporter of electronic items and decrease in demand for electronics led to decline in demand for medium voltage cable and shows a huge decline in the market.
• Electric cars charging system is the major market for medium voltage cable market, but due to the heavy cost of electric cars, the sales of electric car were decline in covid-19 situation, which also led to decline the sales of medium voltage cable market.
• COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial operations and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to fewer workforces. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global medium voltage cable market due to impact of COVID-19. 
• The electronic industry acquired a significant share in terms of consumption of medium voltage cable in global. Attributed to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for electronic item such as laptops has increased due to increase in work from home culture, which in turn increases the demand for medium voltage cable also.
• Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using medium voltage cable and thereby affecting the global medium voltage cable market. 
• According to the UNIDO, 30.0%–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as electrical and other third-party vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in demand for raw materials used in medium voltage cable. This is expected to decline the growth of the market during the forecast period. 
• The automotive production garners a major share in terms of usage of medium voltage cable. The automotive industry has been negatively impacted amid the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded decline in vehicles on road (passenger & commercial) in 2020. This has further declined the medium voltage cable demand due to disrupted supply chain, which, in turn, hampered the global market.
• After the reopening of lockdown, people are avoiding use of public transport, and a significant share of people purchased their own car to travel, which led to increase in demand for car and car battery terminal wiring also plays a wide role in medium voltage cable market. However, after lockdown it shows positive impact on sales on medium voltage cable.
