Based on voltage, the market is segmented into low voltage, medium voltage, high voltage, and extra high voltage. The low voltage segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 46% in 2023, owing to high usage in LAN cables, appliance wires, building wires, distribution networks, and others. These wires and cables offer a better provision of electricity for the end-user and simultaneously support smart grids for good-quality transmission. The renovation of existing buildings across North America is expected to support market growth over the forecast period. Besides, the energy and power sector across the region is undergoing rapid changes. Hence, most countries are experiencing significant electricity demand and are moving towards integrating large-scale renewable resources. Thus, is attributed to the increased need for low-voltage wires and cables.
The extra high-voltage is estimated to witness the fastest CAGR of 5.25% over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from the energy and power industries. Additionally, government initiatives taken for the implementation of smart grids are significantly driving the market. In November 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced new financing opportunities worth USD 13 billion to enhance and upgrade the country's electric grid. These federal investments will serve as a catalyst, unlocking substantial capital from state and private sector sources.
Based on the installation segment, the market is sub-segmented into overhead and underground. The overhead segment held the largest revenue share of 63% in 2023. It is an installation method where cables are laid overhead from poles to poles for electricity transmission and distribution. The overhead installation system is the utmost used approach in less polluted countries. The overhead approach is the easiest and cheapest form of installation. Moreover, countries with a high occurrence of natural disasters like earthquakes incline to have overhead cable installations.
The underground segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 3.86% during the forecast period. The underground installation is an installation method where wires and cables are laid beneath the ground at a certain distance from the surface level for transmission and distribution purposes. It lowers maintenance costs, incurs fewer transmission losses, and efficiently absorbs the power loads. The underground wires and cables installation release no electric fields; thus, several regional states are adopting underground installation.
Based on end-use, the market is segmented into aerospace and defense, building & construction, oil and gas, energy and power, IT & telecommunication, and others. The energy and power segment held the highest revenue share of 39% in 2023. Government initiatives and regulations play a significant role in driving the growth of the energy and power segment in the wires and cables market. Governments in North America have implemented various policies to promote energy efficiency, grid modernization, and renewable energy integration. In April 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced USD 52 billion for 19 selected initiatives as part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda, including USD 10 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bolster America's local solar supply network and USD 30 billion in financing for innovations that would assist with integrating solar power into the grid.
The building & construction segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 4.37% over the forecast period. The growing population, along with the need for modernized infrastructure, has led to an increase in construction projects. It includes constructing residential buildings, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and transportation infrastructure. The rising demand for wires and cables in the building and construction sector drives the market's growth.
IT and telecommunication sector is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. In the IT and telecommunication sector, wires and cables are used for telecommunication lines, such as multiple phone lines, internet services, data and security services, and fax machines. Cables such as communication cables and power cables are widely used in the IT and telecommunication sectors. North America has seen a massive increase in data consumption, which has resulted in investments by companies such as Verizon and AT&T in fiber networks.
Oil and gas segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. In the oil and gas sector, wires and cables ensure safety and operational integrity in the onshore, offshore, and subsea sectors. These products handle very harsh and severe drilling activities. Thus, these cables are needed to be replaced after a regular interval of time. Besides, the communication cables carry critical information to the stations, and variable frequency cable ensures smooth operation
