The global cable management system market size was worth USD 14.26 billion in 2017. The market is anticipated to grow with an 8.2% CAGR over the forecast duration, 2018 to 2025. The growing use of cable management in commercial and industrial applications for safety and flexibility is positively affecting the market growth.
Further, government regulations, such as NFPA 70, EN 61537, and IEC SC 23A that focus on communication cable and power management, are supplementing the use of these systems across different industries, especially healthcare, construction, and IT, and telecom. Rapidly growing communication networks have resulted in easy access to information about system connection location.
Cable management systems properly maintain documented physical networks, thereby, helping in reducing the planning process. They reassign the surplus items to improve the lifespan of telecommunications’ data assets. Further, to ensure organizational efficiency, these systems help in managing telecommunication inventory.
To supply electric power to air conditioners, cables are extensively used in both commercial and residential buildings. Additionally, there are used in network construction underground. Rapidly growing infrastructural development has led to the growth of the construction sector, which, in turn, is driving the market growth.
Governments across the globe are emphasizing the construction of smart cities that require the construction of smart homes. These smart homes require proper lighting and safety measures such as access control and alarm system. This factor is anticipated to drive the market over the next few years.
Depending on the product, the cable management systems market has been categorized into cable conduits, boxes, connectors, and distribution boards, cable trunks, cable trays, and others. Among them, in 2017, conduits held the largest market share largely because of their growing use in industries such as public infrastructure, healthcare, oil & gas, and manufacturing. Additionally, benefits such as EMI shielding, physical protection, high tensile strength are further projected to bolster the demand for conduits over the forecast duration.
Technological advancements and changes in regulations by government bodies and organizations for cable management are projected to supplement the growth of the market. For example, the government in the USA released a standard for cable management that is aimed at the management of communication lines and information.
On the basis of end-use, the market is segmented into energy and utilities, public infrastructure, residential, commercial, healthcare, manufacturing, IT & telecom, and others. Growing demand for efficient data cable in the IT and telecom industry is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market. The telecommunication industry uses wired telecommunication carriers that require management systems to install cable networks.
Further, the rise in demand for heat shrinks and cable connectors in power networks, underground networks, wind turbines, solar plants due to safety against continuous exposure of sunlight are estimated to augment the market growth.
Depending on the material, the market is bifurcated into non-metallic and metallic. The rise in demand for metallic materials in sectors such as oil & gas, manufacturing, and healthcare is projected to proliferate the segment growth over the forecast duration. Metallic materials help in protecting pneumatic and hydraulic hoses, sensors, and instrumentation tubing from corrosion.
On the other hand, non-metallic cables are used in industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical, oil & gas, and electrical. Their properties such as high temperature, excellent tensile strength, and resistance to chemicals make them suitable for various applications. Non-metallic products are suitable for extreme and harsh environmental conditions and are used in both commercial and industrial applications. Additionally, they also offer protection against ultra-violet rays and corrosion.
Europe and North America have witnessed considerable growth in the past few years and have become mature markets. The increasing need for proper maintenance of power cables and the rising need for data cables with high performance in the IT and telecom industry is anticipated to people the market growth.
Various government initiatives aimed at the construction of different infrastructures in emerging countries are expected to positively affect market growth over the forecast period. Countries in the Asia Pacific including China, India, and Indonesia are rapidly developing their infrastructure, which, in turn, is estimated to drive regional growth.
Major players in the market are Atkore International Holdings Ltd, Eton Corporation, Enduro Composites, Inc., Chatsworth Products, Inc., and Legrand SA. Key players are focusing on introducing innovative products to strengthen their position in the market. For example, ABB Ltd subsidiary Thomas & Betts designed a tray that is easy to install. This design is suitable for all standard sizes along with guiding the tray horizontally and vertically without rotation.
Additionally, these players are investing hugely in research & development with an aim to introduce a reliable and cost-effective management system. Among different players, ABB Ltd. has captured a significant share in the market owing to its widespread presence. It focuses on designing innovative products across its multiple production units and distributes them with the help of distribution networks span across several countries like Germany, Brazil, the U.S, and China.
