The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to electrification initiatives, the integration of renewable energy, urbanization and infrastructure development, grid modernization, demand from the industrial sector, and the increasing cross-border power transmission.

The high voltage cable market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $51.85 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on energy transition, the expansion of offshore wind farms, the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, emphasis on grid resilience and reliability, and the increasing power demand in emerging markets. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in cable technologies, the adoption of digitalization and smart grid technologies, a focus on energy efficiency and loss reduction, the integration of smart grid technologies, and the development of high-performance materials.

The high voltage cables market is anticipated to grow due to the increasing demand for electricity. High-voltage cables are widely used in power transfer, distribution, electric stations, and municipal networks. The International Energy Agency's projection of a 2.4% increase in global electricity demand in 2022, as reported in July 2022, emphasizes the rising consumption of electricity. The escalating demand for electricity is expected to boost the utilization of high voltage cables, driving market growth during the forecast period.

The high-voltage cables market is expected to experience growth due to increasing investment in infrastructure. Infrastructure refers to the physical and organizational structures and facilities necessary for societal, industrial, or enterprise operations. High-voltage cables are essential components for efficiently transmitting electrical power in various applications, including transportation, utilities, and communication systems. According to Statistics Canada in February 2023, capital expenditures on Canadian infrastructure, covering various assets, grew by $5.7 billion (5.6%), reaching a total of $108.1 billion in 2021. The increasing investment in infrastructure is driving the high-voltage cables market.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are gaining popularity in the high voltage cables market, with companies seeking to strengthen their positions. For instance, in March 2022, Taihan Cable & Solution, a South Korean company, partnered with the Saudi company Mohammed Al-Ojaimi Group to establish a high voltage cables plant in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration aims to capture the market in the region through localized production. Additionally, in October 2021, Gulf Cable & Electrical Industries Company Co, a Kuwait-based manufacturer of electrical cables, collaborated with Riyadh Cables Group Company, a Saudi Arabia-based manufacturer of high voltage cables, for the establishment of a high voltage cables production factory in Kuwait. This strategic partnership aims at diversifying products and revenue sources.

Major companies are dedicated to developing advanced sustainable solutions, such as cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) solutions, for high-voltage transmission to gain a competitive edge. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a thermosetting polymer enhancing cable insulation's durability and heat resistance, ensuring improved performance and longevity. For instance, in July 2023, Dow, a US-based materials science company, introduced ENDURANCE HFDD-4201 SC Compound, a novel XLPE solution for cable systems in the North American market. This solution reduces degassing times during cable manufacturing, leading to lower CO2 emissions without compromising quality. When used in manufacturing processes, ENDURANCE Compounds contribute to delivering high-quality underground power transmission cables meeting global reliability and durability standards.

In March 2022, Ravin Group, an India-based solutions provider in the areas of cables, solar, EHV projects, and power equipment, acquired Cable Corporation of India Ltd for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, the Ravin Group aims to enhance its manufacturing capacity and extend its presence across the country. Cable Corporation of India Ltd., an India-based manufacturer of high voltage cables, aligns with Ravin Group's growth strategy.
