Global Solar Cables Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Type (Stranded, and Solid), By End-Use (Commercial, Residential, and Industrial), By Material Type (Copper, Aluminum, Others), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Solar Cables Market size is expected to reach $2.1 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 11.7% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 147.5 million Units (Per 10 Feet) experiencing a growth of 11.3% (2019-2022).

Commercial buildings, factories, and warehouses are installing solar panels to cut operational costs and demonstrate corporate social responsibility by utilizing clean energy sources. Therefore, Commercial segment generated $418.9 million revenue in the market in 2022. Solar power offers individuals and businesses energy independence by generating electricity on-site. This resilience becomes particularly attractive during power outages or disruptions in traditional energy supplies, driving the installation of solar panels, which converts into the rising demand for solar cables. Therefore, the rising demand for solar energy and increasing installations of solar panels are increasing the demand in the market. Some of the factors impacting the market are increasing environmental awareness and sustainability, government incentives and policies and high cost and fluctuation in the prices of raw materials.

As environmental and climate change concerns become more widely known, governments, companies, and people are motivated to adopt more sustainable and environmentally friendly solar power and other forms of renewable energy. This trend fuels the demand for solar cables as a part of the renewable energy infrastructure. An increasing recognition of the imperative to mitigate carbon footprints and environmental concerns has precipitated a substantial transition towards renewable energy sources, such as solar power. Additionally, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA), ACWA Power is central to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative to eradicate oil from its power generation framework. Saudi Arabia intends to generate fifty percent of its electricity from renewable sources and fifty percent from gas by 2030. Under this framework, ACWA Power's inaugural undertaking will be a solar facility in Sudair, north of Riyadh. At 1,500 megawatts of installed capacity, it will surpass all single-contracted solar PV plants globally. Thus, increasing environmental awareness is swiftly increasing the demand for solar cables in the market and consequently, such governmental initiatives support expanding the market.

However, Cost fluctuations for raw materials can have a substantial effect on the expenses associated with the production of solar cables. Several vital raw materials used in the manufacturing of solar cables are subject to price fluctuations, affecting the overall cost of production. Frequent changes in the supply and demand for raw materials used in solar cables can lead to price fluctuations. Variations in global production levels, unexpected supply chain disruptions (e.g., natural disasters, geopolitical tensions), or increased demand due to industry growth can impact prices. Consequently, raw material prices' high cost and extreme volatility hinder the market demand for solar cables.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into solid and stranded. The stranded segment recorded the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. Stranded construction enhances flexibility, making the cable more pliable and resistant to bending stress. Stranded conductors exhibit greater flexibility and reduced susceptibility to fracture in solar installations, which may require cables to traverse confined areas, circumvent corners, or traverse structures. The flexibility of stranded conductors is driving the growth of the segment.

End-Use Outlook

Based on end-use, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial. The residential segment witnessed a considerable revenue share in the solar cable market in 2022. Homeowners can generate electricity by installing solar panels, thereby decreasing their reliance on the power grid and electricity costs. By developing their electricity, homeowners become less reliant on the traditional energy grid, providing a degree of energy independence and security, especially during power outages. Therefore, the increasing use of solar panels in residential areas is growing the demand in the segment.

Material Type Outlook

Based on material type, the market is divided into copper, aluminum, and others. In 2022, the copper segment garnered the highest revenue share in the market. Copper is a highly conductive metal, allowing electricity to flow with minimal resistance. This property is crucial for solar cables as it helps minimize power losses during the transmission of electricity generated by solar panels. Therefore, copper's high-quality conduction property is propelling the segment's growth.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the North America region generated a substantial revenue share in the market. Various federal, state, and local government initiatives in the United States and Canada promote renewable energy adoption, including solar power. Tax incentives, rebates, grants, and renewable energy mandates encourage investments in solar installations, thereby boosting the demand for solar cables.
