Top impacting factors
Increase in investment by government to improve connectivity within regions
Governments of various countries including China, India, and Brazil have heavily invested in different types of cables and connectors to improve connectivity within a region. Several developments have been undertaken by numerous government organizations to improve the network infrastructure of their regions, thereby increasing the demand for data transmission cables and connectors. For instance, according to Economic Affairs Division (EAD), China invested $11.24 million in 2018 for establishing cross-border optic fiber cable for high-speed international connection. In 2017, the Indian Government initiated a project “BharatNet,” which is expected to be completed by end of 2017 at an estimated cost of $1.08 billion to improve connectivity in the emerging countries. This has increased the usage of cables and connectors across different countries.
By Industry Vertical
Commercial is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Surge in demand for higher bandwidth cables & connectors among different industries
There is a significant demand for high bandwidth in the telecom industry, cloud applications, TV-on-demand, video services, and online gaming. Wired transmission connection offers greater bandwidth, enhanced reliability & agility, and improved security in comparison to wireless communication. For instance, wired LAN offers 100Mpbs bandwidth using Ethernet technology, whereas the maximum bandwidth offered by wireless network is about 11Mbps. Moreover, wireless transmission is lower in underwater operations, due to the use of low frequency to keep the attenuation (power loss in transmitted signal) minimum and prevent slowdown of transmission rate. For instance, if attenuation has to be reduced from 5.4 DB to 0.4 DB, the frequency needs to be reduced from 1.8 MHz to 0.01 MHz. However, wired communication is totally exempted from any such limitations; hence, it is a faster medium as compared to wireless transmission. Thus, increase in demand for higher bandwidth and rise in need of faster transmission are expected to drive the growth of the cables and connector market in future.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 10.4% during 2020-2027.
