The hazardous area cable glands market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.73 billion in 2025 to $0.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing industrial automation, stringent safety regulations for hazardous areas, growth of chemical and petrochemical industries, expansion of oil and gas operations, rising investments in power generation and mining.
The hazardous area cable glands market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of smart infrastructure and connected systems, growth in renewable energy and wastewater management, rising focus on material innovation for durability, increasing demand for flameproof and increased safety cable glands, expansion of global industrial electrical installations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for certified explosion-proof cable glands, increasing adoption of armored and stainless steel cable glands, growth in hazardous environment cable entry systems, expansion of equipment and control panel cable termination solutions, focus on compliance with international safety standards.
The increasing oil and gas exploration activities are expected to drive the growth of the hazardous area cable glands market in the coming years. Oil and gas exploration involves the search for and assessment of underground or offshore petroleum and natural gas reserves through geological surveys, seismic studies, and drilling operations, playing a vital role in fulfilling global energy demands. The growth in oil and gas exploration is fueled by rising worldwide energy requirements, prompting governments and energy firms to boost investments in identifying new hydrocarbon reserves. Hazardous area cable glands facilitate oil and gas exploration by providing secure cable sealing, grounding, and explosion-proof electrical connections in hazardous settings such as drilling platforms, refineries, and offshore rigs. For example, in June 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that upstream oil and gas investments increased by 7% in 2024 to reach USD 570 billion, following a 9% rise in 2023. Consequently, the growing oil and gas exploration is propelling the expansion of the hazardous area cable glands market.
Key companies operating in the hazardous area cable glands market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as tinned-brass explosion-proof cable glands, to improve corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and sealing reliability in hazardous industrial settings. Tinned-brass explosion-proof cable glands are specialized cable entry components made from brass with a protective tin coating that enhances resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and salt spray, while ensuring a secure mechanical grip and flameproof seal that blocks the passage of explosive gases or dust through electrical enclosures. For example, in January 2026, Zhejiang Hoonsun Connector Co. Ltd., a China-based industrial connector manufacturer, launched the EX Series Explosion-Proof Cable Glands to enhance safety and reliability in hazardous environments. The series provides certified explosion-proof protection, IP68-rated waterproof and dustproof sealing, and corrosion-resistant tinned brass construction, ensuring durable performance, easy installation, and secure cable management across industries such as chemical processing, marine, and energy. Hoonsun’s EX Series combines tinned brass construction for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability with certified explosion-proof protection for safe operation in hazardous zones.
