The industrial cable reels market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of material handling systems, expansion of renewable energy installations, rising investments in port and logistics infrastructure, increasing electrification of construction equipment, demand for smart and motorized cable reel systems. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for heavy-duty cable management in industrial automation, rising adoption of motor-driven and automated cable reels, growth in safety-focused and ergonomic cable handling solutions, expansion of cable reels in ports mining and energy projects, increasing use of corrosion-resistant and durable reel materials.

The growing emphasis on workplace safety is expected to drive the growth of the industrial cable reels market. Workplace safety involves creating a secure environment by mitigating potential hazards such as cluttered walkways, uneven surfaces, and loose cables. Demand for workplace safety is rising due to factors like increased corporate social responsibility, technological advancements, and supportive regulatory frameworks. Industrial cable reels contribute to workplace safety by organizing cables, keeping them off the floor, preventing tripping hazards, and maintaining a tidy workspace. For example, in January 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based government agency, reported that in 2023, nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in private industries decreased by 8.4% to 2.6 million, with 946,500 cases involving days away from work, compared to higher figures in 2022. Therefore, the increasing focus on workplace safety and minimizing tripping hazards is driving the growth of the industrial cable reels market.

Major companies in the industrial cable reels market are increasingly developing advanced solutions, such as spray reels, to improve operational efficiency, enhance safety, and meet the growing demand for compact and versatile cable management systems in industrial environments. A spray reel is designed to store, manage, and deploy hoses or tubing for spraying liquids, including water, chemicals, or pesticides. For instance, in May 2023, Hannay Reels Inc., a US-based machinery manufacturer, launched the MS-1000 spray reel. This product is optimized for general spray operations and installations in confined spaces, accommodating 3/8-inch hoses, featuring internal mounting holes for flexible placement, and a short knob for easy crank handle access. It also includes a field-installable pink lock, reducing its footprint while enhancing versatility for various industrial and commercial applications.
