Asia Pacific Underground High Voltage Cable Market Analysis

Based on voltage, the market is segmented into < 110 kV, 110 kV to 220 kV, and > 220 kV. 110 kV to 220 kV underground high voltage cable is set to grow at a rate of over 5.5% by 2032. Voltage rating serves as a standard industry protocol for the deployment of electrical components, with considerations that depend on the specific application, regulatory preferences, and the category of technologies to be encompassed.

The industry has been significantly shaped by a range of regulatory mandates and guidelines that have standardized manufacturing and deployment practices on a global scale. In recent years, regulators and installers have placed considerable emphasis on grid-isolated areas, recognizing their substantial potential for market expansion and business development.

The integration of renewable energy networks has empowered utilities and installers to concentrate on the reconfiguration of the current electrical infrastructure. Traditional systems are being adapted and improved, considering the resonating frequencies and bandwidths needed to accommodate the variability of renewable networks. Furthermore, the increasing need for export cables, submarine cabling systems, underground lines, and onshore station connections within wind farms.

Based on current, the Asia Pacific underground high voltage cable market is segmented into HVAC & HVDC. HVDC segment is anticipated to grow over 3.9% by 2032 on account of higher conductor adoption along with limited losses at high transmission when compared to AC cables. In addition, the installation cost of HVAC cables increases with increasing distance.

The capacity of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) cables to be installed underground for extended distances within a significantly narrower right-of-way, in contrast to conventional overhead cables. HVDC cables offer advantages such as lower power losses, improved controllability, efficient asynchronous interconnections, and minimal short-circuit current, which present significant potential for HVDC installations across the industry. Furthermore, the continuous integration of energy into the grid system from widely dispersed renewable generation sources, often located far from traditional baseload plants, particularly in offshore locations.

The rising demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply along with increasing measures toward the electrification of remote locations will propel the China underground high voltage market expansion which is set to grow at a rate of over 4% by 2032. Shifts in power consumption patterns within both corporate and residential settings are poised to provide further impetus to industry progression. The increasing focus on ensuring reliability and grid safety is expected to notably augment the demand for these products.

Increasing peak load demand and the aging of power equipment are compelling leading manufacturers to incorporate technologically advanced products to enhance power stability and efficiency. Additionally, the mounting concerns regarding grid safety, reliability, and security have substantially boosted forthcoming projects throughout the region. The industry in the Asia Pacific is expected to benefit from increasing intra-regional agreements and contracts, particularly among power surplus and deficit countries, to meet the escalating demand for electricity in the foreseeable future. The modernization and upgrading of existing electricity transmission networks, coupled with the expansion of smart grid infrastructure.
