Cables and Accessories Market

Cables and Accessories Market: By Voltage, Installation, End User, and Region

Market Synopsis:

The global Cables and Accessories Market is valued at USD 24.88 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach a value of USD 47.2 Billion by 2035 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.99% between 2025 and 2035. The need for cables is likely to be high as the worlds economy continues to grow. Sales of copper and aluminum will skyrocket as the use of these materials increases in construction, power lines and cars. Yet, there simply isn't enough ore coming out of mines – it takes 7 tons of ore just to produce 1 ton of copper. If this becomes a problem, battery technology may offer an alternative way to generate energy and cable manufacturers may have to make their products from different materials such as plastic or steel wires; they might even come up with entirely new designs. The market has not been driven by innovation for decades however telecommunication companies now want lighter more flexible wires that can transfer data over long distances.

Market Segmentation:

Cables and Accessories market is segmented by type, by application and by geography. By type, the market is segmented into power cables, communication cables, control & instrumentation cables, sensor & fiber optic cables,) heating/cooling & ventilation cables, lighting cables, and others. By voltage, the market is segmented into Low, Medium, and High. By installation, the market is segmented into overhead and Underground. The market is further segmented by end-user into industrial, renewable and infrastructure.

Underground Hard-wired Cables to Dominate the Global Cables and Accessories Market

Major factors driving the global underground hard-wired cables market are increase in population, rise in awareness about energy conservation and need for uninterrupted power supply (UPS). Moreover, rise in demand for smart grids with high level of efficiency is expected to further contribute to the market value over the forecast time period. Increase in construction activities across developing countries is also anticipated to provide significant growth opportunities throughout the period of the next six years.

However, above ground installation poses challenges such as risk of theft or vandalism besides being unsightly whereas underground cabling eliminates these concerns. However, cost advantage of using below ground cables is diminishing as they are increasingly being used in residential areas due to tax benefits.

Construction, Communication, and Power Industries are the key consumer of Cables and Accessories Market

Cables and Accessories have a large demand. Cables also play an important role in transporting power or signals across large distances. Electric utilities companies require large amounts of cables to distribute electricity from power plants to residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. The construction industry requires cables for communication lines used on new construction sites as well as during major renovations or refurbishments on existing structures. A cable can be run between buildings making it possible for the contractors crew to communicate with other groups within the structure without interrupting their work on site. Posted workers can use this link to contact the outside world in case of emergency. These cables are often installed during initial construction so that there is no need for wiring new lines when major renovations or refurbishments begin on existing structures.

Growing Demand for Infrastructure Development to Fuel Asia Pacific Cables and Accessories Market

Demand for power infrastructure, as countries across the world install more substations and high-voltage lines, is driving growth of underground hard-wired cables used in these applications. These cables have been traditionally used in railroads, but have gained traction in power grids over the last few years. North America region accounted for over one third of the global market share due to factors such as increase in industrial production and urbanization – key drivers for smart cities & industrialization – besides increase in end use industries such as oil & gas and mining. While Europe accounted for the second largest share of the market, Asia Pacific’s share has been increasing due to expansion of power grids mainly across India and China.

The popularity of high-speed networks within Asia Pacific also provides good opportunities for growth moving forward, especially since many telecom service providers are pushing fiber connectivity throughout their networks. Asia Pacific countries like China and India are advent users of technology; they're embracing new technologies faster than other regions in the world due to their rising middle classes who want to connect using smartphones or tablet devices wherever they go.
