An electrical cable used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy is known as a power cable. It is a grouping of one or more electrical conductors that are typically connected by an over sheath. Power lines can be run above ground, buried in the earth, wired permanently inside of structures, or just left exposed. Power cables wrapped inside the thermoplastic wrapping called NM-B (nonmetallic sheathed building cable) are intended to be run inside buildings.

Power cables have the following features:

  • They are designed to transmit electrical power from one location to another.
  • They come in a variety of sizes and lengths to accommodate different power needs and distances.
  • They are typically made of copper or aluminum conductors that are insulated to prevent electrical leakage.
  • They are capable of carrying high currents and voltages.
  • They can be installed in a variety of environments, including underground, overhead, and underwater.

Market Analysis:

The power cable market was valued at $148.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $277.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2031.

What Driving the Market Growth?
