Global RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Coaxial cable, sometimes known as coax cable, is an electrical cable which transmits radio frequency (RF) signals from one point to another. RF coaxial cables are used to carry radio frequency signals. They’re the standard input cable on TVs and feature a single pin which plugs into the RF input on a device. RF cable assemblies are made up of coaxial cable with appropriate connectors attached to the cable ends for interconnecting what are usually defined as signal sources and receivers. The Coaxial cables used are usually defined as flexible, the most common, semi-rigid and rigid with some hybrid cables such as “formable” cables that lie somewhere between flexible and semi-rigid and are usually applied to semi-rigid cable applications.

By definition a coaxial cable consists of an inner signal conductor that is surrounded by a tubular insulating layer (dielectric). A tubular conducting shield then surrounds these components. In this design the inner conductor follows the same geometric axis as the outer shield, or the inner and outer conductors are in a coaxial arrangement. Depending on the application a protective, non-conducting sheath is placed around the outer conductor.

Most commonly RF coaxial cables are used to form computer network (Internet and Ethernet) connections, distributing cable television signals or to connect RF transmitters and RF receivers with their antennas. When a voltage (signal) is applied to the center conductor and the shield is kept at ground (zero) potential, the design of the coaxial cable provides a transmission line where the electromagnetic field carrying the signal is limited to the insulated space (dielectric) between the inner conductor and the outer conductor or shield.

One simple advantage to this isolation is the allowance of installation of a coaxial line next to metal objects without power drainage. Additionally, the coaxial design provides protection of the RF signal from external RFI (radio frequency interference) or other EMI (electromagnetic interference). Consequently, coaxial cables are a good choice for weak signals that cannot tolerate interference and, conversely, for higher power transmissions that can cause interference to adjacent instrumentation.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies market finds that the global RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies market reached a value of USD 2059.63 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3100.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.06% during the forecast period.

In the specific environment based on the outbreak of COVID-19, the global economy has been significantly affected, resulting in challenges and opportunities for the development status of various industries. The report is based on the impact of COVID-19 and conducts research on the RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies industry from different perspectives such as macroeconomics, industrial chains, and regions.

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to all around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are already starting to be felt, and will significantly affect the RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies market in 2020. COVID-19 can affect the global economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on firms and financial markets. During the epidemic, the resumption of work, operations, revenue targets, and industry development of the RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies industry were all challenge.

First of all, marketing channel sales will be affected differently, the COVID-19 Outbreak has led to a decline in offline passenger flow, and the advantages of e-commerce companies have become prominent. During the epidemic prevention and control period, some RF Coaxial Cable Assemblies enterprises did not carry out internet marketing and promotion for their business, so they encountered great resistance in undertaking business. For enterprises that fail to make good use of network promotion means, there is almost no market development during the epidemic period, and the original offline market development plan is disrupted, and the epidemic will face fierce market homogenization competition, which is expected to have a great impact on the company's business throughout the year.

Development of substitutes

The alternative technologies such as fiber optic cables, category cable, or wireless technology might be a hindrance to the growth of the RF coaxial cable assemblies market. Meanwhile, engineers are replacing bulky RF cable assemblies with simple board-to-board RF connectors that can handle power levels of more than 100 W, saving both weight and space at low cost. Board-to-board connectors are designed as one-piece connectors for short distances between PCB boards. Molex has developed SSMCX, a super small micro-coaxial connector for antenna and very small radio applications. It can operate at up to 10 GHz and is 30% smaller compared to the predecessor MMCX.

Stiff competition

With major manufacturers and suppliers in the RF coaxial cable assemblies industry competing at globally, the intensity of competition within the RF coaxial cable assemblies industry has increased. The vendors adopt strategies like price premiums to stay competitive in the market. Meanwhile, the local vendors in developing nations are providing tough competition to the global players based on product pricing. The fierce competition is not conducive to the sustainable development of the industry. At the same time, small companies or small retailers enter the business consequently as venturing into a RF coaxial cable assemblies business does not require immense capital or investment. However, this leads to the proliferation of sub-standard or duplicate products which then hampers the competitive scenario in the market as established RF coaxial cable assemblies manufacturers are compelled to lower the price of their products, which ultimately impacts their profit margins and sales volumes.
