Industrial solar cable industry is categorized into PW wire, USE-2 Wire, and THHN wire based on type. The PW wire segment is projected to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2032, as the product offer superior performance, durability, and reliability, making them ideal for industrial solar applications. Increasing investments in renewable energy infrastructure, along with supportive government policies favoring solar projects, are further propelling the demand for PW wires.
For instance, in October 2023, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) initiated a tender aimed at developing approximately 1 GW of transmission grid-network connected solar projects between states entailing the execution of a 25-year power purchase contract between SECI and developers.
The copper industrial solar cable market is set to expand at over 8% CAGR through 2032. Ongoing innovations including conductive polymers, composite materials, and hybrid alloys to offer improved conductivity and cost-effectiveness coupled with new initiatives by key industry players will positively stimulate the industry dynamics. For instance, in March 2023, BELECTRIC Solar Ltd UK and NextEnergy Solar Fund have entered into a formal framework agreement for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of solar farms exceeding 150 MWp shaping the industry competition.
Asia Pacific industrial solar cable market is anticipated to surpass USD 3 billion by 2032. The region's rapidly expanding industrial sector, particularly in countries like China and India, demands extensive solar energy infrastructure, driving the need for specialized cabling. Additionally, supportive government policies and incentives aimed at promoting renewable energy adoption further boost market growth.
For example, in July 2022, the housing department of China, in conjunction with the National Development and Reform Commission, has unveiled a strategic initiative aimed at integrating solar panels into new public buildings and factories across urban and rural areas. The ambitious goal is to ensure that by 2025, 50% of the construction in towns and cities will be equipped with solar panel technology.
