North America Coaxial Cable Market Analysis Report By Application, By End-Use And Segment Forecasts From 2014 To 2020

Industry Insights

The North American coaxial cable market size is anticipated to generate USD 3,482.3 Million until 2020. These cables are manufactured by surrounding insulated layer and wire shield or extruded tube of metal on copper wire and are finally coated with a protective layer. The usage of metal tubes in manufacturing such cables is restricted due to its property of rigidity. The connectors for such cables were designed for specific radio frequencies. Thus, such cables are being used for transferring internet, video data, and radiofrequency. Such cables are also named coax and are being used by several television companies for broadcasting signals and also by the customers for receiving those signals on antennas.

The market for coaxial cables is expected to get restrained due to the rising number of manufacturers across the region coupled with surging prices of raw materials. However, the issue related to DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) and the need for improving rural distribution networks is expected to create an opportunity for market growth for such cables in the upcoming years.

The shorter types of cables are being used for radio systems and for connecting the video equipment at home. They are also used for Ethernets due to their lower prices and good support from 10 Mbps to 100Mbps. Moreover, increased spending on IT and telecom sectors across North America, technological advancements, and low installation costs are expected to fuel up the market demand in the upcoming years. These cables were previously used for LAN, but now they have been replaced by optical fiber across the globe due to fewer chances of breakage due to twisting.

Application Insights

The application segment for coaxial cables can be further classified as radiofrequency transfer, internet data transfer, and video distribution. The segment of video distribution is expected to register the highest growth with a CAGR of 7.3% across the market in the upcoming years. It is also expected to continue its dominance over the forecasted period owing to the rising popularity of services like video on demand (VOD), and over the top (OTT). On the other hand, remaining segments like radiofrequency transfer and internet data transfer are also expected to gain significant growth in the upcoming years.

End-Use Insights

The internet service providers (ISP) end-use segment held the largest share across the regional market in 2013. This growth can be attributed to the rising demand for the internet across this region. Moreover, the surging number of ISPs and IPTV is expected to fuel up the market growth during the forecasted years, 2014 to 2020. Other segments like system integrators, the construction industry, CATV companies, and military and aerospace are also expected to gain significant growth in the upcoming years.

Regional Insights

The regional segment of the coaxial cable market across North America can be further divided into Canada, U.S., and Mexico. The U.S. is anticipated to register the highest share across the regional market and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecasted years. U.S. and Canada are being considered as a mature markets than Mexico. Moreover, Canada and Mexico are anticipated to grow at a faster rate due to rising investments across the broadcasting, broadband, and telecom industry. Moreover, the removal of trade barriers and good FDI policies being imposed by statutory governing bodies for enhancing the communication infrastructure is further projected to fuel up the market growth in the upcoming years.

Competitive Insights

The key players in the market are Coleman Cable Inc., TE Connectivity Ltd., Amphenol Corporation, LS Cable & System, Belden Inc., Southwire, Nexans S.A., and Alpha Wire. The North American market for coaxial cables is witnessing more competition owing to the presence of a large number of players catering to the market demand. In addition, the emergence of local players across this region for catering to the increasing demand among the consumers is expected to drive the market growth in the upcoming years.
