COVID-19 IMPACT: MARKET GROWTH RESTRAINED DUE TO SHORTAGES OF RAW MATERIALS

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic also had several negative effects on this market. Issues with the global supply chain resulted in shortages of raw materials, leading to an increase in the manufacturing costs and equally the time taken to manufacture products. In addition, the lowering demand in major segments such as construction, automotive, and industrial production also slowed down the market growth, and many projects and investments were either suspended or delayed. Other reasons that impacted the production rates includ scarcity of labour and limitations of transpiration.

"Expansion of Renewable Energy to Propel the Market"

New trends in this market are majorly developed from rising demands based on the expansion of renewable energy, electric vehicles, and the construction of 5G networks. In today’s transition period of shifting from polluting sources of energy to cleaner ones, these cables are used in solar and wind power installations and in electric vehicle charging stations. Increased adoption of 5G networks also implies that there is a need for better-quality copper cables that would improve the connection and transmission of data.

COPPER CABLE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Twisted-pair Cabling & Coaxial Cabling

• Twisted-pair Cabling:Cables are made up of two individual wires that are twisted around each other so as to minimise electromagnetic crosstalk. These consist of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP). Telecommunication, Ethernet networks, and telephone wiring where there is a need flexible wire connection.

• Coaxial Cabling:It consists of a central conductor, insulating layer, metallic shield, and outer sheath. Applied with cable television, broadband Internet connection, and other signals that require high frequencies of transmittance. Greater immunity to signal interference and is effective in transmitting data over larger distances but with more bandwidth.

By Downstream Industry

Based on application the market can be categorized into Building Wire, Communications Wire, Power Distribution & Others

• Building Wire:It is mainly used for electrical wiring in homes, offices, hospitals, and schools, among other establishments. Provides electricity in a building with emphasis on lighting, home appliances, and sockets. Known to necessitate matters such as durability, flexibility, and safety and is usually coated in order to insulate the material.

• Communications Wire:Is used in transmitting data in telecommunications and networking systems. Applicable for cable broadband Internet connection, telephone, and television. To be used especially with the intention of achieving high data rates and avoiding interference.

• Power Distribution:When it comes to the electricity supply, it links the generation stations to the consumers, whether residential, commercial, or industrial. Applied in support of national electrical grids, substations, and economically efficient renewable energy structures. Copper conductors with high voltage and heavy-duty cables for the power transmission of long distances and handling high power energy loads.
