Twisted Pair Cable Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Shielded, Unshielded), By Frequency (1 KHz-100 MHz, 100 MHz-500 MHz, 500 MHz-1,000 MHz), By End-Use Industry (Telecommunication, Power Generation, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Industrial automation is setting its feet in the global manufacturing sector. Players involved in the chemical, food and beverage, equipment manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries among others are highly focused on adopting automated technologies such as control systems, computers, and robots among others to improve efficiencies and reduce manual errors.

Twisted pair cables are used in these automated technologies for the transfer of data and signals across various processes. The twisted-pair cables consist of two conductors of one circuit which are twisted together in order to maximize the efficiencies. The twisted-pair cables are manufactured considering the standards set by the Telecommunications Industry Association and International Standard Organization.

By type, the twisted pair cable market is segmented as shielded and unshielded twisted pair cables. The shielded twisted pair cables have jackets of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and synthetic polymers among other materials. These jackets shield the twisted pair cables for corrosion-prone and outdoor applications.

The unshielded twisted pair cables are used for data transfer applications. By frequency, the twisted pair cable market is classified based on the frequency ranges such as 1 kHz-100 MHz, 100 MHz-500 MHz, and 500 MHz-1,000 MHz. By end-use industry, the twisted pair cable market is bifurcated based on the application of twisted-pair cables in the telecommunication, power generation and other industries. The telecommunication industry is expected to dominate the global twisted pair cable market by end-use industry owing to high demand for twisted pair cables in various applications such as data transfer.

Twisted pair cables aid in transferring data and signals to the target place. The twisted-pair cables thus have applications across a wide range of automated industrial processes. The increasing inclination of the manufacturers towards adopting automated processes is therefore expected to boost the market growth of the twisted pair cables over the forecast period. The twisted-pair cables are extensively used in the telecommunications industries.

The increasing population has created a platform for the sales of electronic equipment. The telecommunication industry is also growing at significant rates owing to the increase in internet usage across various regions. The growth of these industries is expected to drive the market for twisted-pair cables in the near future.

The shielded twisted pair cables are used for various applications but are not easy to connect to the terminating blocks as compared to unshielded twisted pair cables. This is likely to have a negative impact on the growth of the shielded twisted pair cables.
