The itc instrumentation cable market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in smart manufacturing, rising demand for IoT-enabled industrial systems, increasing need for high-density instrumentation cabling, growth of renewable energy and process automation, integration of AI in industrial monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include high-performance signal transmission, harsh environment resistant cables, shielded & armored cable solutions, compact & flexible cable designs, industrial automation integration.

The increasing demand for industrial automation is expected to drive the growth of the ITC instrumentation cable market. Industrial automation involves using technology, control systems, and robotics to manage industrial processes with minimal human intervention. The need to enhance efficiency and improve safety in manufacturing and production processes fuels the growing demand for industrial automation. By reducing manual intervention, automation helps industries streamline operations, resulting in higher productivity, consistent product quality, and lower operational costs. ITC instrumentation cables play a crucial role in these processes by providing secure and efficient communication between automated devices, enabling precise control, greater efficiency, and enhanced safety. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based professional non-profit organization, reported that industrial robot installations in the UK reached a record 3,830 units in 2023, a 51% increase from 2022. Thus, the rising demand for industrial automation is driving the growth of the ITC instrumentation cable market.

The growing focus on renewable energy projects is also expected to propel the growth of the ITC instrumentation cable market. Renewable energy projects, which generate electricity from sustainable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass, aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. The push for sustainability and the need to mitigate the environmental impact of fossil fuels, such as air pollution and climate change, are key drivers behind the shift to cleaner energy sources. ITC instrumentation cables are essential in renewable energy projects, ensuring reliable signal transmission for monitoring, control, and automation in solar, wind, and hydropower systems. For example, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, predicted in October 2024 that global annual renewable capacity additions would grow from 666 GW in 2024 to nearly 935 GW by 2030. As such, the growing emphasis on renewable energy is contributing to the growth of the ITC instrumentation cable market.

In May 2024, AZ Wire & Cable, a U.S.-based manufacturer and distributor of wire and cable products, acquired Gen-Pro for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand AZ Wire & Cable’s product portfolio and strengthen its position as a comprehensive solution provider for electrical distribution needs. Gen-Pro, a Netherlands-based maritime and commercial procurement company, offers a general-purpose cable for price-sensitive applications within the broader category of ITC products.

ITC instrumentation cables are specialized electrical cables designed for industrial control and instrumentation applications. They are used to transmit low-energy control, monitoring, and signaling signals in industrial settings. These cables are built to endure challenging environments, including electrical interference, moisture, and mechanical stress.

The primary materials used in ITC instrumentation cables include copper, aluminum, and other materials. Copper cables are favored for their excellent electrical conductivity, long-lasting durability, and resistance to corrosion. The cables come with various voltage ratings, including low voltage (up to 1,000 V), medium voltage (1,000 V to 35,000 V), and high voltage (over 35,000 V). The conductor types used are solid, stranded, and ribbon conductors, which are applied in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, process automation, manufacturing, and other sectors.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the ITC instrumentation cable market in 2025.
