The India wires and cables market size was valued at USD 8.71 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 9.32 billion in 2024 to USD 17.08 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.87% during the forecast period.


India has observed a substantial rise in the demand for wires and cables due to the country's ambitious renewable energy goals and the growing awareness of the potential of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. In solar power plants, photovoltaic (PV) projects require a high-quality cabling system that connects all electrical components with minimal energy loss. The significant growth of solar panels in India is creating a considerable demand for solar cables. According to industry standards, a 1 MW solar project will use about 50 km of solar cable. Considering the Indian government's target of 100 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022, India's solar cable requirement alone is more than 5 million kilometers.


The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic affected almost every country worldwide. Some countries were at the peak of infection and were urgently building surge capacity in their health systems. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wires and cables market growth was moderate, as it hampered consumption in many end-use industries. However, as countries emerge from the pandemic and industries recover, there are opportunities for the wire and cable market to rebound. Infrastructure development projects, investments in 5G networks, and the expansion of renewable energy sources could drive the demand for wires and cables in the coming years.


India Wires and Cables Market Trends


Growing Need for Transmission of Data at Increasingly Faster Speed


Rapid advancements in cable and connection technology are occurring alongside the shift toward digital technology. One of the key trends is that increasing volumes of data must be transmitted at increasingly faster speeds. Specialty cable designs with thermal insulation and space-saving engineering are being tested. Therefore, the trend is moving toward the frequent use of hybrid cables, which combine power cables, data cables, and even pneumatic and hydraulic hoses in a single sheath.  When large volumes of data are transmitted, high-speed Cat.7 industrial Ethernet cables can replace some of the slower cables, and fiberglass cables can replace even more copper cables. Along with cables, connectors are also getting thinner. A modular connector system combines multiple contact points for different cable types in a single housing.

India Wires and Cables Market Growth Factors


Increasing Investments in Smart Grid Projects and Upgradation of Power Transmission and Distribution Systems to Drive Market Growth


Energy storage is crucial to achieving the country's goal of integrating a large share of renewable energy into the electricity system. Clean, reliable, and sustainable power systems increasingly need smart grids. India views smart grid technology as a strategic infrastructure investment that will fund its long-term economic prosperity and help achieve its carbon reduction goals. In India, the main application areas of the smart grid system are energy arbitrage by storing excess renewable energy to reduce constraints, 24/7 and seasonal storage, smart metering, energy accounting, and renewable energy (RA) outage management.


The government launched Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) with an outlay of 3.03 trillion for the next five years from 2021-22 to 2025-26. This scheme aims to provide financial support to Power Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) for the modernization and strengthening of distribution infrastructure, aiming to improve the quality, reliability and affordability of power supply


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Fluctuation in the Raw Material Prices May Hinder the Wires and Cables Market Pace


The India wires and cables market highly depends on materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, and PVC for the efficient conduction of power. The conductive material, copper/aluminum, makes up about 40-60% of the cable's raw material. Polymers such as PVC, polyethylene, and other engineering plastics contribute significantly to the cost. Metal supplies from Indian copper/ aluminum producers are almost stagnant, which is mainly due to restrictions on mining bauxite used to produce aluminum. Furthermore, the pollution and environmental concerns arising at copper and aluminum refineries are negatively influencing the supply of these metals in India hindering the India wires and cables market growth.
