The global high voltage cables market size was valued at USD 31.89 billion in 2018 and is projecte to reach USD 54.97 billion by 2026, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.11% during the forecast period. The market for high voltage power cables is ultimately dependent on electricity demand across the world. The increasing demand for electricity is further anticipated to bring lucrative growth opportunities for the market. The replacement of the aged grid infrastructure and transmission lines is another factor that drives the growth of the market. Also, the increasing penetration of renewables such as solar energy and wind energy requires setting up new utility grids with new transmission & distribution networks. Therefore, the growing penetration of renewables acts as the market driver for high voltage cables.


The high voltage cables are the cables used for transmission and distribution of power at high voltages. High voltage cables are equipped with structural elements of one or more conductors, protective jackets, and insulators. The major structural difference differentiating high voltage cables from other types of cables is the presence of additional internal layers in the insulation jacket that helps to control the electric flow around the conductor. This helps in reducing the power losses during long-range transmissions, and therefore high voltage cables are found to be more efficient than other types of voltage cables in power transmission. High voltage cables can run as overhead cables, as buried cables in industries, and submarine cables for power transmission between states and countries.

MARKET DRIVERS


“Replacement Of Aged Grid Infrastructure And The Growing Number Of Smart Grids”


The increasing demand for energy with the growing population and urbanization will augment the global high voltage cables market growth. Aged grid infrastructure, which satisfied the power distribution and transmission demand to date are being replaced with new advanced smart grids. The upcoming grids require setting up of new transmission network. High voltage cables possessing high current carrying capacity over long distances are preferred for these networks over other available counterparts. This will drive the growth of the global market over the forecast period.    


 “Growing Penetration Of Renewables In Power Generation”


The increasing concerns over the greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with a rise in demand for energy have compelled countries to look for other alternatives for power generation. Renewable sources are the most preferred source for energy generation, especially wind and solar energy sources. This increased utilization of renewables leads to setting up new transmission lines which acts as a driving factor for the global market. In the coming years Europe and North America have plans to reduce carbon emissions to a considerable extent in the coming years which will certainly boost the market for renewables and therefore high voltage cables. 


SEGMENTATION


By Installation Analysis


“Easy Installation And Economical Advantage Will Help The Overhead Segment Dominate The Market”


Based on Installation, the global high voltage cables market is segmented into the overhead, submarine, and underground. The ease in installation and low transmission losses over long distances are the major factors for the growth of an overhead type of installation. Another reason for the maximum adoption of overhead cables is the economic advantage provided by these cables as they don’t have complex technologies involved.

The other types of cabling technologies available are submarine and underground cabling. Underground cabling being the most technologically advanced, costs higher than others and therefore has a minimum share in the market. Submarine cabling is mostly used for the transmission of power between countries or states.


By Voltage Analysis


Based on voltage, This market is segmented into 100 kV – 250 kV, 251 kV – 400 kV, and above 400 kV. Currently, the 251 kV – 400 kV has the largest share in the market with the maximum application of the high voltage cables in this voltage range. The power transmission industry in the developing countries is still growing which has to lead to more use of low and medium voltage cables in these countries. Therefore, the above 400 kV segment in these countries has a very small presence.


During the forecast period, the 251 kV – 400 kV segment will grow in almost every region owing to the maximum installation of these voltage lines. In North America and Europe, the above 400 kV segment will witness a rise in their share, owing to the technological advancements which support their installation.


By End-User Analysis


“Increasing Electricity Demand Will Augment The Growth Of Utilities”


Based on End-User, the global high voltage cables market is segmented into utility and industrial. The utility is used to serve power to most of the sectors in the country, and they form the major portion of this market.
