Global Cable Market Report
Market Description
The Cable market is a cornerstone of the global electrical and communication infrastructure. Cables are assemblies of two or more wires bonded, twisted, or braided together, enabling the transfer of electrical signals or power between devices. They are extensively used in electronic devices, building wiring, power transmission, and long-distance communication systems.
Applications range from power cables for bulk transmission of alternating and direct current to signal circuits in electronic devices and undersea cables for global communication. Electrical cables are indispensable in building wiring for lighting, power, and control circuits, offering efficiency by allowing multiple conductors to be installed simultaneously.
The global market was valued at USD 112,800 million in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 161,500 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% (2018–2025). Copper and aluminum serve as the primary conductor materials, while polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride are commonly used for outer sheaths. Raw material suppliers benefit directly from cable industry growth, with large companies sourcing directly from major producers and smaller firms relying on distributors.
