The evolution of the wire and cable industry, from Michael Faraday’s groundbreaking experiments involving magnets and current-carrying wires to the transition from rubber to PVC for insulation, would astonish any keen observer. Over the years, the global wire and cable market has experienced substantial growth, driven by rapid urbanization, an increasing demand for renewable energy, and the rising need for smart grid technology. According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, the market is estimated at USD 228.42 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow to USD 298.53 billion by 2029. In India, the market is valued at USD 19.44 billion in 2024, with projections indicating it could rise to USD 30.11 billion by 2029. This can be attributed to several factors, including major government initiatives.
The projections made by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs maintain that India’s urban population is expected to reach 600 million by 2030. This anticipated growth will drive the demand for new housing units, thereby necessitating a significant increase in wires and cables. Additionally, the country has laid down precise ambitious renewable energy goals, as evidenced by the introduction of its National Electricity Plan (Transmission), which aims for a renewable energy capacity of 500 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 and over 600 GW by 2032. The incorporation of renewable energy sources into the current power grid will require sophisticated cables capable of managing diverse loads and ensuring efficient power transmission, thereby boosting the demand for wires and cables. Furthermore, the IT and telecom sectors in India are also contributing enormously to this demand. With India’s Internet subscriber base reaching 936.16 million—comprising 38.57 million wired subscribers and 897.59 million wireless subscribers—the broadband segment has exhibited a compound annual growth rate of 9-10%. Moreover, there is also the rising demand from other sectors, which will become more diverse and robust in the coming years.
To meet the increasing and varied demands of the market, leading as well as emerging companies are striving to fulfill the heightened expectation for high-quality products. Currently, the Indian market, already highly competitive, is dominated by prominent players such as Polycab India Limited, KEI Industries Limited, Sterlite Technologies Limited, Finolex Cables Limited, Havells India Limited, RR Kabel Limited, etc.
Watch: Top Cable Companies in India
Many have successfully established a consistent supply chain, with some offering products that are not only durable and dependable but also prioritize customer safety. This necessitates that manufacturers utilize cutting-edge machinery to produce sophisticated, high-quality products. The fierce competition in the industry and more defined regulations, becoming more stringent, compel players to prioritize research and development, adhere to regulatory standards across different markets, and integrate best sustainable practices into their core operations. Ultimately, businesses must demonstrate greater accountability and transparency, placing a strong emphasis on both people and the planet. Leading firms have excelled in this regard, embedding these principles into their organizational culture. This development, however, at the same time also underscores the need for more to be done.
Their achievement on several fronts indicates that they have effectively navigated the market, a process that has taken enormous time and effort. The key lies in understanding the importance of brand journey, which involves meticulously addressing every touchpoint without any compromise, which, apparently, is quite laborious. In April of this year, V-Guard introduced its latest innovation, ‘Arizo’ Wires, engineered to resist melting and enhance eco-safety. By employing advanced e-beam technology, these wires are designed to eliminate halogens and significantly lower smoke emissions, thereby improving electrical safety and sustainability. In the same month, Finolex Cables launched a new range of eco-friendly wires under the name FinoGreen. This collection includes halogen-free and flame-retardant industrial cables specifically designed to improve safety in electrical installations and reduce the risk of accidents, particularly fires. The newly launched wires not only decrease smoke emissions but also limit the release of hydrochloric acid gas during fire incidents. A month prior, Polycab India unveiled the Polycab Maxima+ Green wire.
The fierce competition in the industry and more defined regulations, becoming more stringent, compel players to prioritize research and development, adhere to regulatory standards across different markets, and integrate best sustainable practices into their core operations. Ultimately, businesses must demonstrate greater accountability and transparency, placing a strong emphasis on both people and the planet
Today, sustainability, sounding more of a cliche and yet quintessential in every aspect, has evolved from a mere concept to an essential requirement in the operational framework. The industry has significantly contributed to this shift by adopting sustainable materials. Many companies have focused on utilizing recyclable materials that minimize environmental impact. Additionally, there has been a notable increase in investments in advanced machinery and the optimization of manufacturing processes, leading to enhanced energy efficiency. It is also praiseworthy that a majority of these companies have increased their dependence on renewable energy sources. Looking ahead, the industry’s dedication to sustainability remains strong and promising. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that further efforts are necessary. The objective is not only to address current needs but also to foster a healthier and more sustainable planet for future generations while achieving growth.
