Global Cable Blowing Equipment Market - 2022-2029
Market Overview
The global cable blowing equipment market size was worth US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2022-2029).
The cable blowing equipment is a machine designed to fit fiber optic cable in telecommunication ducts and micro ducts with the application of air and water. It comprises an air box and cable pusher designed to provide an effective and safe fiber optic cable installation method. The application of cable blowing equipment provides faster, less stressful fiber optic and telecoms cable connections than old cable pulling techniques.
The cable types associated with cable blowing equipment include a head, belt feeder, base plate or a frame, cable guidance system, air or water connections, a meter counter and a control unit. These machines are primarily classified based on the cable diameter and the type of drive system, such as roller feeder, belt feeder, track feeder and blowing heads without feeders.
Based on the above criteria, cable blowing machines are diversified into hydraulically powered machines and pneumatically powered machines. Furthermore, hydraulically blowing equipment is classified into two parts: cable feeding unit and hydraulic power pack. The different application cable blowing machine includes long-distance networks, OSP Fiber Deployment Telecommunication, Wide Area Networks and CATV.
Market Dynamics
Increasing need for the equipment which can install more cable per day coupled with less workforce, lower cost and improved productivity is a factor that is increasing the demand for cable blowing equipment. Furthermore, the ability of cable blowing equipment to remove old fiber cables without any serious damage is increasing the market's growth in upcoming years.
Increasing use of fiber optic networks in emerging nations
Emerging countries, such as India, are increasing the application of fiber optic networks to boost the telecom sector and expand internet and broadband services. Additionally, emerging countries are also witnessing increased demand for data and improved quality of services. The above-stated factor is expected to increase the demand for the cable blowing equipment for the underground cable laying and overhead line stringing or fiber blowing. Thus, the increasing expansion of fiber networks in these countries is aiding the growth of the cable-blowing equipment market.
Lack of skilled labor might hamper the growth of market
The deployment of cable blowing equipment requires skilled labor to deploy security tools. Additionally, a lack of technical knowledge for operating different kinds of equipment has been lacking and installation and servicing of the equipment require skills; otherwise, it could result in considerable financial loss.
COVID-19 impact analysis
The global cable blowing equipment market experienced growth during the COVID-19 pandemic on the increased expansion of data centers in various industrial sectors, which requires high speed and long-distance transmission of the data, which is expected to fuel the demand for cable blowing equipment.
The upcoming technology of 5G would increase the expansion of mobile data and optical fiber networks, increasing the demand for cable blowing equipment. Moreover, the work from home culture and home entertainment has also increased the demand for high-quality audio, video, data transmission faster internet connectivity. Thus, it also positively impacts the market's growth in the COVID-19 period.
Segment Analysis
The global cable blowing equipment market is segmented into power, cable and region. The global cable-blowing equipment market is segmented into hydraulically powered, electric-driven, and drill-driven. The pneumatically powered blowing equipment accounted for the largest market share. High application of pneumatically powered blowing equipment for optical fibers installation is small and easy for cable installers and operators in complex networks. They are also a cost-effective method of cable blowing.
Geographical Analysis
Europe is expected to hold the largest cable blowing equipment market due to the high application of connected and IoT devices. The rise in the investment in infrastructure development to increase the development of 5G services is a major factor aiding the market's growth in the region.
North America is projected to grow to be the second leading region in market share during the forecast period. The rise in the adoption of connected devices with better connectivity is expected to fuel the market's growth in the region.
