The Europe wires and cables market size reached approximately USD 49.40 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.20% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 67.69 Billion by 2034.
Cable manufacturers in Europe are recognised worldwide technology leaders. Manufacturers are increasingly developing wires and cables in line with the sustainability needs to accelerate the grid build-up and secure European manufacturing capability for a sustainable energy transition for the region. The EU has set interconnectivity targets, which were upgraded to 15% for 2030. This implies that a nation must have sufficient installed cable capacity to export about 15% of the electricity produced by the country’s power plants to its neighbours. Such initiatives are significantly aiding the Europe wires and cables market growth.
The telecommunication sector is considered a strategic sector and a key asset to the European economy. In 2022, the European telecom sector witnessed a total investment of EUR 59.1 billion . The telecom sector in Europe is constructing the infrastructures for digital and green transformation while speeding up the technological adoption with 5G, edge computing, cloud, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and cybersecurity, among others.
Germany is a key player in the European wires and cables market. The presence of renewable energy goals and government support for the transition towards EVs are increasing the demand for wires and cables for power transmission and automotive applications. Moreover, the ongoing Industry 4.0 practices are further necessitating the use of high-tech cables for supporting manufacturing digitisation.
