Electrical Conduit Global Market Report 2024

Electrical conduit refers to tubes designed to house electrical wires for various building or structural applications, providing protection and a designated passage for electrical wiring within a building or structure. The use of electrical conduit helps safeguard wires from external environmental damage over an extended period.

The main types of electrical conduit include rigid and flexible options. Rigid electrical conduit is typically employed outdoors to offer protection and structural support for electrical cables, panels, and other equipment. On the other hand, flexible electrical conduit features a spiral construction that imparts flexibility, allowing it to navigate through walls and other structures. It is generally used in dry indoor locations, often for short runs between a wall box and a motor or fixed appliance, such as a garbage disposer. Electrical conduit materials include metallic and non-metallic options, serving various end-use industries such as building and construction, industrial manufacturing, IT and telecom, oil and gas, energy and utility, among others.

The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the rise in building and construction activity, increased installations of electrical wiring and cables, ongoing industrial and commercial development, a heightened demand for the safety and protection of electrical wiring, and the rapid urbanization and infrastructure development taking place during that time. These factors collectively contributed to the expansion of the electrical conduit market in the historic period.

The electrical conduit market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including infrastructure upgrades and maintenance initiatives, the expansion of renewable energy projects, an increased demand for fiber optic conduits, the modernization of smart grids and electrical infrastructure, global market expansion, growth in emerging markets, and the expansion of data centers and IT infrastructure. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of smart building technologies, the promotion of sustainability and eco-friendly conduit solutions, technological advancements in conduit materials, innovations in advanced conduit materials, and the introduction of flexible and rigid conduit solutions to cater to evolving market needs. These trends reflect the evolving landscape of the electrical conduit market in response to technological advancements and market demands.

The electrical conduit market is poised for growth, primarily driven by the increasing demand for electricity or power generation. This demand surge is a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization, creating a need for electrical conduits to support the expanding infrastructure. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report in 2021, there is an anticipated 5% rise in electricity demand, highlighting the global need for increased power generation. Additionally, with the global population expected to grow by about two billion over the next two decades, the Upstream Oil & Natural Gas Industry in Canada estimates a 49% increase in electricity generation by 2040. This upsurge in demand for electric power generation is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the electrical conduit market.

The escalating production in the oil and gas sector is another significant factor propelling the electrical conduit market. Oil and gas production, involving the extraction of crude oil and natural gas, relies on electrical conduits to ensure the safe and reliable operation of electrical systems in these facilities. Conduits play a crucial role in protecting cables, enhancing safety, and contributing to the longevity of electrical equipment in the challenging environments of oil and gas production facilities. Notably, the increase in U.S. crude oil output and record-high natural gas consumption in the U.S. in 2022 and 2023, as reported by the US Energy Information Administration, underscores the growing demand for electrical conduits in supporting the expanding oil and gas production.

Technological advancements emerge as a key trend in the electrical conduit market, with companies continuously focusing on innovations for better and safer conduit systems. In 2021, Finolex Cables, an India-based electric cable company, introduced conduits and fittings with specially formulated PVC made from high-impact resistant materials. These advancements enhance the safety and usability of conduit systems across diverse environmental conditions, meeting stringent international standards. This emphasis on technological innovation reflects the commitment of industry players to provide improved and safer solutions in the electrical conduit market.

Major companies in the electrical conduit market are strategically focusing on innovative products, such as the Cable Tight system, to drive revenue growth.
