Report Overview
Power Transmission Cables Market Size:
Power Transmission Cables Market, sustaining a 4.77% CAGR, is anticipated to reach USD 271.565 billion by 2030 from USD 215.155 billion in 2025.
Power transmission cables transmit electricity from one location to another and are designed to carry high-voltage and high-current electricity over long distances with minimal losses.
Power transmission cables are used in various applications, including power grids, power plants, and distribution networks, and come in various types and voltages, with different materials used for their construction and insulation depending on the application and environmental conditions. The increasing demand for electricity, infrastructure development, renewable energy integration, and technological advancements are driving the power transmission cables market growth.
Power Transmission Cables Market Growth Drivers:
- The growing electricity demand will boost the power transmission cable market growth.
Power transmission cables are a critical component of the modern electrical infrastructure, enabling the efficient and reliable delivery of electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. The growth of the global population and urbanization, rising incomes, increasing use of electric vehicles and home appliances, and the need for power supply for industrial and commercial activities increase the electricity demand. The electricity needs to be transported over long distances from the power plants to the destination, which requires the construction of new transmission lines and grid infrastructure, and power transmission cables play a critical role in this infrastructure.
The increasing electricity demand is expected to drive the growth of the power transmission cables market, particularly in emerging economies where infrastructure development is a key priority. According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) "Global Energy Review 2021", electricity demand is expected to grow by 4.5% in 2021, driven by economic recovery and increased demand from emerging economies. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), global renewable energy capacity reached 2,799 GW in 2020, an increase of 10.3% compared to the previous year, and renewable energy will account for 57% of global electricity generation by 2050. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the sales of electric vehicles increased to 4.7 million in 2021 from 2 million in 2020. This demonstrates that the power transmission cables market has a great demand.
Power Transmission Cables Market Geographical Outlook:
- The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global market.
The increasing electricity demand, the rapid growth of renewable energy, investment in grid modernization, and the expansion of transmission and distribution infrastructure in countries such as China, Japan, and India will drive demand for power transmission cables in the Asia Pacific region. In 2021, China's State Grid Corporation announced plans to invest around $8.5 billion in building new ultra-high voltage power transmission lines over the next five years, which will help to improve grid reliability and increase the integration of renewable energy. In 2021, the Indian government launched the "Green Energy Corridors" project, which aims to develop a new transmission infrastructure to support the integration of renewable energy into the grid, and the government plans to build around 20,000 circuit kilometres of new transmission lines and 36 new substations. In 2020, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan announced new regulations for the construction and operation of offshore wind power facilities, which will require the development of new power transmission cables to connect these facilities to the grid. These factors all add to the Asia Pacific region's power transmission cables market growth.
