From £4,600.00

Published March 2026

The global wire and cable market value was $308 billion in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a cagr of 6.6% to $422 billion in 2030.

  • The fastest growing cable is insulated copper subsea cable but the largest in tonnage is bare ACSR conductor, reflecting the expansion of transmission networks, followed by building wire and winding wire. In value the largest demand is for bare ACSR conductor, followed by underground cable, building wire and winding wire.
  • Market size and forecasts of twelve categories of wire and cable are provided in tonnes and US$ from 2024 to 2030, globally, for 37 countries and 10 regions.
  • 1,711 manufacturers of wire and cable are listed across every market.
  • Market size in US$ was calculated for each country as production + imports ­­ exports = market.
  • Consumption was cross­checked with parallel calculations derived from the published volume of copper and aluminium, the core conductor materials.
  • Growth forecasts for each product were derived from disaggregated industry forecasts of the 12 product categories in each country.
  • National % production shares by value of the 1,711 wire and cable manufacturing companies are provided in every country.
  • Market commentary for 37 countries: the market, network developments, telecoms, automotive,  construction, OEM, together with profiles of 346 leading manufacturers.
  • Outlines of important product and technology categories, e.g. subsea cable, land based UGC, super­conductors, industrial cable, electrified railways, cable properties.
  • Statistical analysis of the accuracy of the market data.
