Underground is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

The underground cables are placed just underneath the earth's surface. They are ideal for carrying low voltage power over short distances and can be placed in an urban setting such as towns or cities. The increasing urbanization will bode well for the segment's growth. They can be amended and customized according to the needs of the cities. They are scalable, affordable, and resilient systems that offer seamless energy for sprawling economic activities. The underground segment is also dominant, given that they prevent power outages brought on by weather conditions. Underground transmission lines are less susceptible to changes in temperature, wind, and other environmental factors. They also don't detract from the aesthetics of the surrounding area. They are ideal for communication systems.

Conductors Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

The conductors segment is vital for transmitting electrical energy. Driven by demands in various industries, including utilities, manufacturing, and construction, advancements in conductor materials and technologies also support this segment. Continual innovations in conductor technologies allow for higher current-carrying capacity, reduced resistive losses, and enhanced overall efficiency.

North America to Exhibit Highest CAGR During to Forecast Period

The ageing of power grid in the US is a key contributor to the high demand for low voltage cables across the region. Significant businesses dealing in low-voltage cables and accessories in North America are assisting in the growth of the low-voltage cables and accessories market over the forecast period. 

Global Low Voltage Cable Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

global low voltage cable market growth, by region

Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share

Among all the regions, Asia-Pacific holds a significant share due to the greater energy demand due to the area's growing population and increasing per capita disposable income. In Asia-Pacific, China held the largest market share. The US State Department estimates that 387 million people in Asia-Pacific lack access to electricity. The region's expanding need for electricity requires constant mounting and upgrading of the current T&D infrastructure. Due to these developments, low-voltage cables and accessories are now required to safeguard and improve the electrical transmission and distribution system. Manufacturers of low-voltage cables and accessories are working together and signing contracts with other businesses to rehabilitate the electrical infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and supply the region with electrical components.
