Wire & Cable Companies

The cord & cable market is projected to grow from USD 201.04 billion in 2024 to USD 266.17 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. A cord can be defined as a thin single elongated flexible strand of metal for example copper or aluminum with the capability of transmitting electric current. Usually covered with an insulating material so as to avoid formation of a short circuit and therefore are critical components in electrical networks from residential wiring to those in consumer electronics. On the other hand, cable is a more complicated assembly of single conductor conductors with insulating sheath applied to group of insulated conductors enclosed in a common outer covering. Cables are designed to bear electrical power or facilitate data or signal flow in different uses such as power transmission and distribution and telecommunications and data transmission networks.

New developments in the infrastructural front especially in the developing world economies are thus triggering higher cord and cable requirement. This growth is also linked with the increase of the use of renewable power sources for instance solar and wind energy as these call for special cables in the energy distribution process. Also, adoption of new forms of transport like electric vehicles has created demand for smart wiring solutions for such enhanced forms of transport.
