The market is expanding primarily due to rising global energy consumption and the adoption of smart grid networks. As a result of increased power generation, distribution, and transmission across numerous locations due to the growing demand for uninterrupted power supply across a variety of industries, low-voltage cables are being used more frequently. They are also used to link the transformer to the low-voltage generator in the nacelle of wind turbines. The market is also anticipated to be further stimulated by the growing trend of utilising renewable energy sources in the power generation process. Due to the growing population, together with increasing urbanisation and digitization, there has been an increase in the demand for effective power transmission equipment that can be linked with smart devices. In addition, automated electronic devices like switches, relays, and metres that need low-voltage connections are used in smart grids and other power systems to ensure the efficient operation and management of the network's operational activities. Smart city initiatives often involve the deployment of advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as intelligent transportation systems, smart grids, and efficient energy management systems. These projects require the installation of various voltage cables to support the transmission and distribution of electricity, data, and communication signals. As a result, the implementation of smart city projects can lead to an increased demand for Low voltage cables. Smart city initiatives focus on developing and upgrading infrastructure to enhance the quality of life for citizens. These projects involve the deployment of various technologies such as smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, and building automation systems, which require low voltage cables for power transmission and data communication. Smart city initiatives often include the development of intelligent and energy-efficient buildings. Low voltage cables are crucial components for powering and connecting various smart building systems, such as lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), security, and automation systems. These cables enable seamless integration and control of different building systems, improving energy efficiency, and overall building performance.

Asia-Pacific is leading the market of low voltage cable market with more than 55% of the market share followed by Europe and North America. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing significant urbanization and industrialization, resulting in a high demand for infrastructure development and power supply. Low voltage cables are essential for building and upgrading urban infrastructure, including residential buildings, commercial complexes, manufacturing facilities, and transportation networks. The growing need for reliable and efficient power transmission drives the demand for low voltage cables in the region. Governments in the Asia-Pacific region have been investing heavily in infrastructure development, including smart city projects, transportation networks, and power transmission and distribution systems. These investments boost the demand for low voltage cables as they are critical components for reliable and efficient energy supply and connectivity in these projects. Government initiatives and funding play a crucial role in driving the market growth. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is a manufacturing hub for various industries, including automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. These industries require low voltage cables for their production facilities, machinery, and electrical systems. The region's robust industrial sector, along with supportive government policies and incentives, drives the demand for low voltage cables.

Based on installation type, the market is divided into overhead and underground. The underground segment holds the highest market share in 2022. During the anticipated period the overhead segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of the market. Overhead installation of low voltage cables is often more cost-effective compared to underground installation. Overhead cables require less excavation and construction work, resulting in lower installation costs. This makes overhead installation a preferred choice, especially in areas with limited budgets or where underground installation is technically challenging or economically unfeasible. Overhead installation offers flexibility in terms of routing and easier maintenance access. The cables are suspended on poles or towers, making them accessible for repairs, inspections, and replacements. This ease of maintenance reduces downtime and ensures quicker restoration of power in case of faults or disruptions. Overhead installation allows for rapid deployment of low voltage cables. The construction of overhead transmission lines or distribution networks is typically faster compared to underground installation, where extensive trenching and conduit installation are required. This advantage is particularly valuable in situations that demand a quick setup, such as emergency power restoration or infrastructure development in rapidly growing areas.
