Growth Factors in the Medium Voltage Cables Market

• Rising Demand for Renewable Energy Integration

A global shift towards renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, is the primary force behind the medium voltage cables marketplace. Medium voltage cables typically operate between 1kV and 35kV and are necessary to transfer electricity from renewable energy projects to the grid. For example, offshore wind farm power plants, such as those located in the North Sea, use medium voltage cables to transfer energy from turbines to substations. As countries continue to make carbon neutrality commitments, more funds will continue to be allocated to develop renewable energy projects. The increase in demand for cables will be coupled with government incentives and policies for renewable energy (e.g., green energy credits, grants, fast-racks) and clean energy projects (e.g., net zero projects). As such, there will be continuous volume of projects requiring durable and high-performance cables capable of transferring energy reliably.

• Urbanization and Infrastructure Development

Rapid urbanization, as seen in emerging/disruptor economies, continues to create additional challenges in developing medium voltage cables to support and bolster electrical grids, posing even greater demand for the ensuing electrical system expansion that will be focused on utilizing the new medium voltage cables. The expansion of urban populations necessitates the expansion of robust power supply management to load centers, whether residential, commercial or industrial applications. In 2022, the Smart Cities Mission in India is an example of presenting economic opportunities for investment to advance electrical networks, which further fosters and fulfills the thirst for medium voltage cable installations for reliable, stable distribution reliability in association with underground conductors. Importantly, the advent of underground installations of cables in increasingly urbanized areas offers safe and reliable options to address issues associated with above ground assets as it expands. As cities grow into sources of concern for reliable, safe electricity, the market for medium voltage cables will continue to expand above ground and underground to meet the elevated electrical demands expected in urban centers throughout the world.

• Industrial Automation and Electrification

The increase in industrial automation and electrification across industries like transportation and manufacturing is fueling a growth in demand for medium voltage cables. For instance, automated factories are increasingly adopting electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, meaning they need reliable electricity distribution systems. Automotive plants adopting Industry 4.0 and other advanced technologies (e.g., Tesla) will be depending on medium voltage cables for large suit machinery and robotic systems. The proliferation of EV charging stations across Europe relies heavily on medium voltage cables to power electric vehicles with efficient transfer of high-power loads. As more industries focus on efficiency and sustainability experience transformation, demand for new, durable, and high-capacity medium voltage cables continues to foster new innovative technology initiatives that drive the exponentially growth of medium voltage cables.

Key Trends in the Medium Voltage Cables Market

• Adoption of Eco-Friendly Cable Materials

Sustainability is having an influence on the medium voltage cables market with manufacturers using more eco-friendly materials to reduce their environmental footprint. Medium voltage cables, more often than not, source materials such as PVC that can have detrimental effects on the environment with toxins released to atmosphere from both production and end-of-life disposal. As examples, consider Prysmian Group who are currently developing medium voltage cables with recyclable, low-emission materials made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). XLPE products have the ability to meet the exacting requirements of regulations while maintaining performance standards. Companies deploying eco-friendly materials in production aligns with the global sustainability trend as utilities and industries are clearly moving in a more sustainable, greener direction. Introducing eco-friendly materials to their products increases competition while attracting environmentally forward-thinking stakeholders and increasing innovations in cable design going forward.

• Integration of Smart Grid Technologies

The emergence of smart gird technologies, allowing for better and more resilient power distribution, is a notable trend in the medium voltage cables market. Smart grids rely on the intelligent integration of sensors and monitoring systems into cables that provide real-time new data about how the grid is working. In the United States, utilities, such as Duke Energy, are upgrading their networks with smart medium voltage cables to identify faults and determine energy flow. Installing new smart cables relates to the growing demand for reliable electricity in the face of increasing demand and the integration of renewable energy. As smart grids and technologies continue, there is demand for better cables with monitoring systems.

• Growth in Submarine Cable Applications

The rise in subsea medium voltage cables for offshore projects is a significant trend in the market. The medium voltage cables are necessary for connecting offshore wind farms, island grids and interconnectors. A key example of this is the Dogger Bank Wind Farm where subsea cables transmit pollution-free energy to the mainland UK. The number of offshore renewables projects are expected to increase especially in Europe and Asia thus necessitating more subsea cables that can withstand rugged conditions yet still provide performance. This trend is boosted and supported through many advancements in cable insulation systems and cable installation. Thus, long-distance power transmission in marine environments is feasible.
