Submarine Cables Market
Submarine Cables Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Component (Dry Plant Products and Wet Plant Products), By Voltage (Medium Voltage, High Voltage, and Extra High Voltage), By Application (Submarine Power Cables and Submarine Communication Cables), By End-User (Offshore Wind Power Generation, Inter-Country & Island Connection, and Offshore Oil & Gas), Forecast Period (2022-2028) Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030
Submarine cables market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The increasing internet penetration and collaboration among tier-1 vendors, growing demand for bandwidth owing to the emergence of 5G, and increasing network of submarine power cable systems are some key factors driving the growth of the global submarine cables market. Moreover, increasing investments by content delivery and streaming partners to create abundant opportunities in the pacific region is further accelerating the market growth. According to the Fiber Broadband Association, International data usage is expected to expand by 30.0-40.0% CAGR from 2020-2026, driven by factors such as the growth of 5G mobile data, and the need to share ever more content between data centers distributed across the globe.
To meet this demand, submarine networks are adopting space division multiplexing (SDM) technology, where the number of independent spatial channels is increased to maximize total system capacity, reduce power consumption and optimize cost per bit. Multicore fiber is now expected to further increase the number of parallel optical fiber cores without increasing the submarine cable size and structure, enabling the second generation of submarine SDM systems. The rising integration of SDM technology in submarine cables is anticipated to drive the growth of the global submarine cables market.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Submarine Cables Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global submarine cables market. The submarine power cable installation capacity witnessed a plunge in 2020 compared with the previous year, while the number of oil and gas rigs plunged by double digits. However, in 2021 and later, the market is expected to start recovering from the impact of COVID-19 and projects for renewable energy grids and communication networks would resume. Furthermore, governments are taking initiatives to rebuild the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic. Between Denmark and UK, a 760-kilometer cable is being installed beneath the water, which will supply 1.4 million UK homes with green electricity from Denmark. An increase in the laying of submarine cables in Saudi Arabia will drive the adoption of the product over time.
Segmental Outlook
The global submarine cables market is segmented by component, voltage, application, and end-user. The market segmentation based on the component includes dry plant products and wet plant products. Based on voltage outlook, the market is segmented into medium voltage, high voltage, and extra high voltage. Based on application, the market is segmented into submarine power cables and submarine communication cables. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into offshore wind power generation, inter-country & island connection, and offshore oil & gas. The dry plant products segment held a considerable share in the global submarine cable market. The cost-effectiveness and recent advancements in the dry plant, such as SDM cables with more fibers and capacity, aluminum conductors, smart cables: emergency alerts for earthquakes and tsunamis, repeater pump farming, and machine learning in submarine systems are key factors contributors to the high share of this market segment.
Regional Outlook
The global submarine cables market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. North America submarine cables market is driven by the growing demand for digital services backed by submarine cable or data center infrastructure is a key contributor to the regional market growth.
Global Submarine Cables Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
Asia-Pacific Holds Considerable Share in the Global Submarine Cables Market
In 2021, the Asia-Pacific region held a considerable share in the global submarine cables market. The efficient power transmission and distribution systems from renewable energy sources and the growth of offshore wind farms are some key factors driving the regional market growth. For instance, the Government of Japan constructed a floating wind farm 12 miles away from the seacoast and installed 140 floating wind turbines in 2020. The high demand for submarine cables has encouraged the manufacturers to actively participate in the installation & commissioning, upgrades, and maintenance of the submarine cables. For instance, in February 2020, The Europe India Gateway (EIG) submarine cable system was upgraded to fast-track and reinforced the connectivity amongst businesses in Europe, the Middle East, and India by Ciena Corp.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global submarine cables market include Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, NEC Corp., NEXANS SA, and Prysmian Group, among others. The companies are focusing on product innovations, technology advancements, geographical expansions, mergers and acquisitions, and finding a new market or innovation in their core competency to expand individual market share. For instance, in October 2021, NEC Corp., its subsidiary OCC Corp. and Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. announced that they have completed the first trial of uncoupled (*1) 4-core submarine fiber cable (*2), and verified its transmission performance to meet the exacting need of global telecommunications networks.
