Global ADSS Cables Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

With increased activity in OSP (outside plant) network deployment, a wide range of fiber optic cable types emerged to fulfill different construction needs. One of those types is ADSS (all-dielectric self-supporting) cable. ADSS cable is a type of fiber optic cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without containing conductive metal elements. Both single mode and multimode fibers can be arranged in ADSS cables with a maximum of 144 fibers. ADSS fiber optic cable is designed for outside plant aerial and duct applications in local and campus network loop architectures from pole-to-building to town-to-town installations. The cabling system that includes cables, suspension, dead-end, and termination enclosures offers a comprehensive transmission circuit infrastructure with high-reliability performance.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global ADSS Cables market finds that the global ADSS Cables market reached a value of USD 1166.1 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1828.74 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.79% during the forecast period.

Impact on Industry Upstream

At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 disease began to spread around the world, millions of people worldwide were infected with COVID-19 disease, and major countries around the world have implemented foot prohibitions and work stoppage orders. Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), it has had a negative impact on the global economy, the most direct of which is the sharp decline in economic growth rates in various regions. Except for the medical supplies and life support products industries, most industries have been greatly impacted, and ADSS cables industries have also been greatly affected. The epidemic will have a short-term impact on ADSS cables industry, but it is relatively limited. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the production of raw materials and equipment procurement and transportation supply are difficult to be in place, and upstream enterprises affect the work schedule of downstream enterprises. Apart from this, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in the closing down of several manufacturing facilities across the globe. The pandemic caused huge revenue losses in end-use industry. The coronavirus lockdown put a brake on the production of several key raw materials in the global market, which, in turn, spiked the prices and lowered the demand for the product. The strict lockdown mandates imposed by governments have restricted cross-border trade between countries, another factor proving to be detrimental for the ADSS cables market share.

Impact on Industry Downstream

Equipment manufacturing and product manufacturing enterprises in ADSS cables industry are affected to different degrees, and the production and delivery work may be delayed to some extent. Meanwhile, if it fails to meet the customer's delivery time requirements according to the contract, it may lead to the customer looking for another enterprise and lose business. Apart from this, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in the closing down of several manufacturing facilities across the globe. The pandemic caused huge revenue losses in the downstream industries. In addition, ADSS cables manufacturers are drawing up plans for the international market as a new supply link in the global ADSS cables industry, as companies look to re-engineer supply chains in the aftermath of COVID-19. Also, it is expected that the product demand in end-user sectors could pick up following the uplift of the lockdown in numerous countries.

Benefits of ADSS Cables

The powerful functions and benefits of ADSS Cables drive consumption, which is beneficial to the development of the industry. When it comes to aerial cablings or outside plant (OSP) deployments, ADSS cable will provide an efficient and optimal solution in most of the cases. The remarkable advantages of this ADSS fiber cable are twofold: reliable and cost-effective.
Fundamentally speaking, ADSS fiber optic cable is small in size, light in weight, strong in structure, and flexible in applications, which is suitable for most outside aerial deployments. The small and light nature of the ADSS cable will reduce the load on tower structures for some external influencing factors like cable weight, wind, ice, etc. The structure design will not only prevent moisture and chemical attacks but also will protect the polymer strength elements from the effect of solar ultraviolet light. Besides, the strong structure will also allow up to 700m lengths to be installed between support towers.
Economically speaking, as an alternative to OPGW (Optical Fiber Ground Wire) and OPAC (Optical Attached Cable) solutions, ADSS cable can provide a cost-effective solution by saving the money and the resources with easier installment and wider ranges. Adopting ADSS cables can exploit the considerable economic advantages offered by the installation of existing high voltage power lines. In addition, the installation of ADSS cables is faster and easier than previous aerial designs. Do not need support or messenger wires, a single pass is sufficient for installation. ADSS cable can be used for applications ranging from short span (40-50 meter) distribution lines to long-span transmission lines (300-500 meter spans) to extraordinary spans required by some river canyon crossings exceeding 1,800 meters.

Wide range of applications

The ADSS cable is designed for aerial self supporting application at short, medium and long span distances. ADSS cable offers a rapid and economical means for deployment by cable television operators, telephone companies and power utilities. It is adopted for high voltage, middle, small span conditions in Power Transmission System or mazy terrain such as river spanning, mountains. ADSS cable is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments. Since the ADSS cables provide an optimal solution for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths, more and more aerial cabling system designers tend to adopt them for telecommunications, like power utilities, telcos, and private network groups. Combining convenience and cost-effectiveness, an aerial fiber-optic deployment requires this kind of fiber optic cables for better performance.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, ADSS Loose Tube segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.

ADSS Flextube

In terms of the type, the market can be segmented into ADSS Flextube, ADSS Loose Tube. The distribution cable for optical networks has a micromodule structure (flex tube construction) and a high-density polyethylene sheath with incorporated non-metallic reinforcements, allowing high permissible pulling force and high dielectric capability. Water-blocking yarns and/or tapes to prevent the penetration of water in the cable.

ADSS Loose Tube

Loose tube cables are traditional outside plant cables. They are not designed to withstand wind and ice loads on their own, and need to be lashed to a metallic messenger. Usually, the highest tension they’ll experience is during installation, and they are often limited to 600-pound shortterm loads. Historically, loose tube cables are more commonly deployed in aerial networks, but this is mainly because they’re often overlashed by telephone companies or cable TV companies that already have a messenger in place. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
