DC Solar Cable Market Size

DC Solar Cable Market was valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at over 8.6% CAGR between 2024 and 2032, due to the increasing adoption of solar energy worldwide. With a rising emphasis on sustainable and clean energy sources, solar power installations have surged, creating a demand for efficient transmission infrastructure. DC solar cables play a crucial role in connecting solar panels to inverters, ensuring the seamless flow of direct current.
 

The market growth is further propelled by technological advancements, improving cable efficiency and durability, and rising solar installations worldwide. Notably, China and India emerged as key contributors to this growth, holding substantial shares in the total installed capacity. Moreover, government incentives, favourable policies, and the growing awareness of environmental issues are also contributing factors, fostering the market expansion.
 

COVID– 19 Impact

Before COVID, the DC solar cable market experienced steady growth due to increasing solar installations. Post-COVID, the market faced challenges with project delays. The industry faced challenges in sourcing raw materials and components, resulting in supply chain bottlenecks. However, the renewable energy push for economic recovery boosted demand, leading to a resilient market rebound with a focus on sustainable energy solutions.
 

DC Solar Cable Market Trends

The DC solar cable industry reflect a significant growth owing to the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable energy solutions. Advancements in technology have led to the development of cables with enhanced performance, reduced energy losses, and improved safety features. Increasing installations of solar photovoltaic systems globally will contribute to the upward trajectory of the solar installations.
 

For instance, in October 2023, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) launched a tender in the Indian market to develop about one gigawatt of interstate transmission grid-connected solar projects. The solar projects to be developed will witness the signing off a 25-year power purchase agreement between developers and SECI. Therefore, evolving regulatory standards and a push towards smart grid infrastructure further influence the market dynamics.
 

DC Solar Cable Market Analysis

The copper segment accounted for more than 90% revenue share in 2023.
