Underground Cabling EPC Market, By Product Type, By Application, By Country, and By Region - Industry Analysis, Market Size, Market Share & Forecast from 2023-2030
The Underground Cabling EPC Market size was valued at USD 13,908.6 Million in 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2023 to 2030.
Underground cabling EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) is the term used to describe the entire project cycle of designing, procuring materials, and constructing underground electrical or telecommunication cable systems. Engineering and construction businesses often carry out these projects, often in partnership with utilities, governments, or private organizations. Conducting initial investigations to determine the practicality of underground cabling, taking into account geography, soil conditions, and environmental impact. An underground power cable is under the ground so maintenance costs are quite low as the wire is safe from potential damage. The cables are not exposed to the weather elements like rain, snow, lightning, storms, and hurricanes.
Underground Cabling EPC Market - Market Dynamics:
Rising investments and rapid commercialization across utility-based electrification networks and industrial developments drive the growth of the target market.
As governments and corporate sectors invest more in improving and expanding infrastructure, there is a natural increase in demand for advanced electrification solutions, including subterranean cabling. The combination of rising investments, utility network expansion and modernization, rapid commercial development, and industrial growth creates a favorable environment for the growth of underground cabling EPC and allied sectors. Commercial real estate construction is a major driver of jobs and economic activity. To demonstrate this point, Statista reports that the total value of commercial real estate construction activity in 2020 was ~USD 80B.
Additionally, according to Real Capital Analytics - via MillionAcres, commercial real estate prices rose at an annual rate of 1.3% over the last year from April 2020 to April 2021. With increased investment, there is a greater emphasis on using the most recent and efficient technology, providing providers of advanced cabling solutions with expanded opportunities in the market. However, Because of excavation, specialized equipment, and accompanying civil works, underground cabling systems are often more expensive to establish than overhead systems, which hampers market growth.
Underground Cabling EPC Market - Key Insights:
As per the analysis shared by our research analyst, the global Underground Cabling EPC market is estimated to grow annually at a CAGR of around 3.3% over the forecast period (2023-2030)
Based on Product type segmentation, three-core was predicted to show maximum market share in the year 2022
Based on Application segmentation, Power Supply Solutions was the leading type in 2022
On the basis of region, North America was the leading revenue generator in 2022
The Global Underground Cabling EPC Market is segmented on the basis of Product Type, Application, and Region.
The market is divided into three categories based on product type: Single-core and three-core. three-core segment dominates the market. Three-core cables are electrical cables with three conductors or cores contained within a single cable sheath. Also, Three-phase power distribution, which is typical in industrial and commercial applications, is supported. Power transmission over longer distances is more efficient.
The market is divided into two categories based on application: House Wiring, Power Supply Solutions, Wiring of Circuit, Mining Operations, and Ship Wiring. Power Supply Solutions sector dominates the market and is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Underground cabling EPC in conjunction with power supply solutions is part of a complete approach to electrical infrastructure development. This includes the initial installation of underground electrical wiring as well as the deployment of power backup and management systems.
Geographically, this market is widespread in the regions of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. These regions are further divided as per the nations bringing business. Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the growth of the market, due to increasing investments in the renewable sector, along with technological advancements such as Ultrahigh-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) technology in the region. As the renewable energy sector expands, there will be a greater demand for significant cabling infrastructure to integrate these power sources into the grid, particularly because many renewable energy sources are located away from consumption centers. According to Climate Corporation China, Renewables became the majority in China's new power capacity installations in 2022, incremental renewable capacity accounted for 76.2% of China's overall newly installed capacity. China's renewable energy capacity reached 1,213 GW in 2022, making up 47.3% of China's total generation capacity. North America and Europe are expected to drive the growth of the market in the forecast period, due to rising electricity consumption.
The underground cabling EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) industry has seen an increase in demand as a result of urbanization, increased emphasis on aesthetics, safety concerns, and the requirement for robust infrastructure against natural calamities. As with most industries, there are dominant firms, new entrants, mergers and acquisitions, and a competitive desire for innovation. The industry has witnessed a considerable amount of M&A activity, which corporations utilize as a strategy to grow their global footprint, diversify their product line, or enter new markets. Market participants are always inventing strategies to create efficient, long-lasting, and cost-effective solutions. Smart grids, integration with renewable energy sources, and real-time monitoring systems are being prioritized. The regulatory landscape can be complex and differs among countries and regions. Companies must be familiar with local rules, safety standards, and quality criteria. For example, Sep.2021, A tie-up of German group Siemens Energy AG and Japan's Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd nowadays said it had been chosen to build the 500-MW Greenlink interconnector between Wales and Ireland.
Recent Developments:
On 21 September 2021, Greenlink has awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the Greenlink electricity interconnector project to a consortium comprised of Siemens Energy AG (Siemens Energy) and Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd (Sumitomo Electric). As part of an overall project investment that exceeds €500m, the contract will deliver the 190km subsea and underground electricity interconnector to connect the power grids of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
