Voltage (Low, Medium, High, Extra High)
Low segment is poised to account for wires and cables market share of more than 57% by the end of 2037. The segment growth can be accredited to the growing telecommunication industry propelled by the increased need for digitization and high-speed connectivity. As a consequence, the market for wires and cables is anticipated to develop steadily over the coming years.
For instance, in 2023, the global telecommunications market is predicted to increase rapidly, with roughly USD 1 trillion estimated to be spent globally.
The wiring system known as low voltage cabling is made to withstand lower voltages and is also commonly utilized for telecommunications purposes as it serves as the foundation of contemporary communications, offering the networks, telephony, and data transmission infrastructure.
Additionally, low-voltage wiress and cables are utilized in many different applications, such as phone systems and internet access since they use less energy and produce less heat.
End-Use (Aerospace & Defense, Building & Construction, Oil & Gas, Energy & Power, IT & Telecommunication)
The energy & power segment is estimated to gather the highest CAGR during the forecast timeframe. The major factor for the expansion of the segment is the rising global population. Particularly, by 2024, the world's population will be expanding at a rate of over 0.90% per year. As a result, worldwide electricity demand is anticipated to increase, leading to a significant hike in the need for subterranean high- and extra-high-voltage (HV) cables.
Installation (Overhead, Submarine Underground)
The overhead segment in wires and cables market is assessed to generate a robust revenue share by the end of 2037. The growing prevalence of natural disasters is the primary driver of the segment's growth. The most recent increases in flooding and severe storm occurrences have been caused by greenhouse gasses trapping more heat in the atmosphere.
Therefore, overhead cables are essential, since power lines that have been undergrounded may be more vulnerable to floods from rain, ice melting, and storm surges that are corrosive.
In a report published by Our World in Data, global deaths from natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, and storms, range from 40,000 to 50,000 annually.
