Increasing demand for electricity in the emerging and developed countries, increase in demand from the ICT sector especially in China, India, Malaysia and high demand in intelligent systems and IoT are the key drivers of the telecom cables market. Volatility in raw material prices and an increase in competition coupled with Regulatory issues that deal with offshore wind farms and difficulties in achieving an optimal interconnection arrangement in subsea cables are the main constraints.

The global cables market is divided into two major industry segments, electrical and telecom/datacom cables, which could be used in various end-use applications. They are further categorized into cables for LV energy, accounting for 35 percent of market size, power cables for 32 percent, winding wires for 14 percent, internal telecom/data for 9 percent, fiber optic cables for 7 percent, and external telecom for 3 percent. The latest trends in the cables market have focused on the increase in the innovation of core technology, with optimized designs resulting in high energy efficiency.

Key Findings:

• There are generally two types of annual contracts for the procurement of cables, such as fixed-price contracts and variable price contracts. In fixed-price contracts, the price is fixed for a given duration, while in variable price contracts the client and the supplier get into an agreement, wherein the final price is subject to variation, based on changes in key raw material prices.
• Buyer power is highly supported by the large number of players in the industry, which provides the buyer with high options. However, the switching cost is relatively higher, as a majority of the cables to be replaced are more than 10-years-old and require significant up-gradation of the support infrastructure, in order to install/replace new cables.
• Many Tier 2 companies are involved in cabling services, such as installation and commissioning, maintenance and repairs, the supply of spare parts, engineering, etc., thus supporting customers across all industries, increasing the reliability and increasing its service life.
• The three broad KPI segments of cables procurement are value creation (the ability of procurement to create value to the organization), operational excellence (efficient and cost-effective manner of procurement), and strategies for growth, pertaining to adopting trends and anticipated changes in cables procurement.
• Currently, there is no technology or product, which provides an alternative to cables from the end use/application point of view. Nowadays, wireless signal transmissions are coming up, which might be a threat to the cables market, but not for the next 10 years.

The research methodology adopted for the report included:

• Experts with twenty years of domain experience
• Interaction with buyers
• Inputs from supply chain partners

The impactful cost components in the cables market are raw materials, constituting approximately 65 percent of total costs, followed by design and labor for 16 percent, and fixed components for 14 percent. Raw materials for cables include copper/aluminum, thermoplastics, rubber materials, and non-metallic elements. As the global cables market is raw material intensive, price fluctuations of raw materials impact the cost of the final cables.
