U.S. Cables and Wires for Aerospace and Defense Market expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2032

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “U.S. cables and wires for aerospace and defense Market Report”, by Type, Voltage, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2032, the U.S. cables and wires for aerospace and defense market value was valued at $4.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $6.6 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 3.9% from 2024 to 2032.  

Cable and wire are essential components of military and aviation solutions in the aerospace & defense industry. Coaxial cable, power cable, shipboard cable, extreme environment wire/cable, and other components are required for commercial aircraft, military aircraft, civil helicopters, and military helicopters. The cables and wires for A&D for US market currently needs to raise its output rate to meet high demand as fierce competition drives the need for technological innovation.

The growth of the U.S. cables and wires for aerospace and defense market forecast is majorly driven by the digitalization and electrification of aerospace & defense systems paired with development of innovative aircraft solutions. Further, rise in military expenditure is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. However, complex government frameworks and stringent policies related to wire harnesses safety paired with high development and maintenance cost of infrastructure to support satellite wiring and assemblies restrain the U.S. market. On the contrary, rise in government investment in defense & space agencies is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the U.S. cables and wires for aerospace and defense market trends during the forecast period.

The military aerospace segment was the highest contributor to the market in 2023, whereas the commercial aerospace segment accounted for the highest CAGR in 2023. Surge in demand for cable and wire solution in aviation & military sector has led to the growth of the power distribution and military ground equipment segments, thereby enhancing market growth. The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth of the cables and wires for A&D for US market owing to significant impact on prime market players operating within this region.

Conversely, rise in demand for navigation and communication solutions has led to a significant rise in cables and wires, which is anticipated to drive market expansion post pandemic. However, lack of availability of a professional workforce due to partial and complete lockdown implemented by governments restrains the growth of the U.S. cables and wires for aerospace and defense industry report.
