Overhead Power Cables Market Trends




  • Growing industrialization and urbanization is driving the market growth




Market CAGR for overhead power cables is being driven by the rising industrialization and urbanization. The increasing urbanization with the demand for renewable energy generation is boosting the market growth. The rising population with urban migrations and higher livings standards are generating vast opportunities for the market players. The rise in support from different authorities and also monetary support have fueled the growth of overhead power cables market.


The increasing emphasis on the sustainable energy generation has caused a shift towards the adoption of renewable energy technologies like solar powers, wind turbines and others. This will lead to the increase in setting up of the transmission lines. The renewable energy is recently the rapid-growing source of electricity generation, the amount of energy produced from this is increasing by more than 2.5% yearly. Hence, these investments in renewable energy generation worldwide will increase the demand for installing new overhead cables, thus increasing the market growth during the forecast years. There has been an introduction of cutting-edge technologies that will further promote the adequate functioning of market players in the utility sectors. The growing concerns towards the greenhouse gas emissions with the increase in demand for the substitute power generations.


The power cables are mainly utilized to transmit power that ranges from generation to consumption, further there is increase in the deployment of power line in the past years. The growth in urbanization in most of the developing countries is creating an opportunities for the overhead power cables industry. Thus, driving the Overhead Power Cables market revenue.


However, the price fluctuations of the raw materials can restrain the growth of market, copper and aluminium are the major raw materials utilized in overhead cables manufacturing. The volatile costs of these materials cause a notable volatility in the cost of revenue or sales for cable manufacturers. Further the activities of exploration generates environmental damages because of which there is reduction in funding from international organizations, impacting the raw material market. Hence, all these factors will hamper the growth of the overhead power cables market globally.
