Methodology – StatPlan has created a database of production and sales of cable, with sub-analysis of cable types, end users and core materials. This is up-dated continuously and each year in-depth interviews are conducted with wire and cable industry executives. Forecasts are derived from production, demand and copper/aluminium prices.
