The power and control cable market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $165.69 billion in 2025 to $174.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of utility power distribution networks, increasing demand for industrial automation, growth in oil and gas cabling needs, adoption of low-voltage control systems, development of underground power cable infrastructure.
The power and control cable market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $225.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for high-voltage transmission upgrades, increasing investment in renewable energy cabling, development of smart grid communication cables, expansion of industrial power requirements, rising need for fire-resistant and eco-friendly cables. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of intelligent cable monitoring systems, integration of IoT-enabled power distribution, development of sustainable cable materials, automation of cable manufacturing processes, expansion of digitally managed industrial networks.
The increasing adoption of smart grid infrastructure is anticipated to drive the growth of the power and control cable market in the future. Smart grid infrastructure refers to an electricity network that utilizes digital and advanced technologies to monitor and manage the transmission of electricity from various generation sources to fulfill the diverse electrical needs of end users. Power and control cables are integral to this system, supporting robust super grid technology that facilitates the transmission of energy over long distances with minimal power losses. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, investments in smart grids must more than double from approximately $330 billion annually to $750 billion by 2030 to align with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Thus, the growing adoption of smart grid infrastructure is a key driver of the power and control cable market.
Major companies operating in the power and control cable market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions, such as low-carbon distribution and control cables equipped with halogen-free, flame-retardant insulation, to address the increasing demand driven by stricter fire-safety standards, the expansion of renewable-energy grids, and the growth of data-centre infrastructure. The low-carbon distribution and control cable incorporates low-carbon aluminium conductors, recycled plastics for insulation/sheathing, and a halogen-free flame-retardant compound instead of traditional PVC or standard polyethylene cable sheaths. For instance, in May 2023, Nexans S.A., a France-based cable manufacturing company, introduced its low-carbon power-grid cable portfolio in France, consisting of a new line of low-carbon distribution-grid cables that ensure at least a 35% reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions compared to conventional cables, utilize 100% low-carbon aluminium, incorporate up to 50% recycled plastic in insulation/sheath, and are fully produced in France to promote decarbonized electrification.
In April 2024, Prysmian Group, an Italy-based cable manufacturing company, acquired Encore Wire Corporation for $4.15 billion. Through this acquisition, Prysmian sought to accelerate its growth in the North American market and diversify its product portfolio by leveraging Encore Wire’s manufacturing and distribution footprint. Encore Wire is a U.S.-based producer of copper and aluminium electrical wires and cables.
