Asia-Pacific Dominates Global Medium Voltage Cables & Accessories Market with a Share of 45.23% in 2024

Global Medium Voltage Cables & Accessories Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global medium voltage cables & accessories market size is $55.93 billion in 2024 with a CAGR of 4.35% from 2024 to 2029.

Medium Voltage cables, or MV cables, are a category defined by the International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) as having a voltage rating of above 1kV up to 100kV. However, not everyone uses this specific range to classify MV cables. The voltage range of MV cables depends on the country and the particular system that is being used. Some common medium voltages are 5,000v, 8,000v, 15,000v, 25,000v, 35,000v. Cable accessories for medium voltage have similar design and performance requirements as those of cables of the same voltage range.

Regional Market

Asia-Pacific dominates the market with a share of 45.23% in 2024. The rapid development of smart cities in China is a key factor driving the demand for medium-voltagecables & accessories. The continuous development and implementation of smart city technologies in metropolitan areas raises the need for efficient energy management. Medium voltage cables and accessories are an important part of smart city infrastructure as they enable efficient energy distribution and consumption monitoring while encouraging sustainable smart city living.

The United States is an important market for medium-voltage cables and accessories. This is due to several factors, including a strong industrial base, an increasing focus on renewable energy projects, and grid modernization initiatives. The demand for medium-voltage products in North America is also being driven by the need to upgrade aging infrastructure, with significant growth in demand for medium-voltage cables and accessories, fueled by rapid urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure development.

Market Drivers

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have been the key driving factors sustaining the growth of the medium voltage cables market. Industrialization and urbanization have been increasing at a much faster pace in the developing economies, resulting in more requirements for power generation, transmission, and distribution and thus is expected to boost the requirement of medium voltage cables. This factor is likely to increase the growth of the medium voltage cables industry. Innovations in the design of medium voltage cables have positively impacted the medium voltage cables market.

An increase in renewable energy generation and rapid industrialization and urbanization are the major drivers for growth in the medium voltage cables and accessories market. The concept of using renewable energy for power generation is increasing rapidly. It reduces the threat of climate change and makes air safer and healthier. A large number of countries across the world are increasing the expansion of renewable energy generation capacity by using different technologies, investing in electricity systems, and making smart policy decisions. The use of wind power is continuously increasing in many European countries, such as Denmark, Germany, Uruguay, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, and Cyprus. Another fastest-growing renewable electricity source is solar. The growth of solar energy sources is much higher than wind and geothermal energy sources. Increasing use of wind and solar energy worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the medium voltage cables and accessories market as these cables would be used to integrate the electricity generated through solar and wind to the grid. Increasing electricity generation would also require new transmission and distribution infrastructure.
