The control cable market will grow at a CAGR of 3.41% to reach US$25.01 billion in 2030 from US$21.15 billion in 2025.
The instrumentation cables which send signals that have low voltage in order to regulate the functioning of a device are called control cables. These cables are intended specifically for automation controls as they have a copper conductor and are used for areas that require low voltage. Control cables have better interference resistance than power cables, which makes them appropriate for transmitting low-voltage signals. These are also used for wiring control circuits and work at low power. The control cables exhibit high flexibility, having multi-core cables along with copper conductors.
Market Trends:
The control cables market is primarily driven by the rapid growth of key end-user industries, including automotive, rail & transportation, and building & construction, fueled by accelerated industrialization and urbanization. In 2024, the automotive sector dominated the global control cables market, driven by the rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced automation systems. Additionally, the increasing use of control cables in renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar farms, is significantly contributing to market expansion. Government investments in infrastructure development, particularly in developing nations, along with ongoing product innovation, are expected to create substantial opportunities for control cable manufacturers. For example, in 2023, the Indian government announced a USD 1.4 trillion investment in infrastructure development under its National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), which is anticipated to boost demand for control cables in the region.
Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to lead the demand for control cables, driven by growth in key end-use sectors and the presence of numerous control cable manufacturers. In 2024, Asia Pacific held the largest global market share, with China, India, and Japan being the major contributors. The region's growth is supported by rapid urbanization, industrialization, and government initiatives to develop smart cities and transportation networks. For instance, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and India's Smart Cities Mission are significantly increasing demand for control cables in infrastructure and automation projects. Furthermore, technological advancements in the region, such as the adoption of Industry 4.0 and IoT-enabled automation systems, are expected to further propel market growth. Europe and North America are also anticipated to experience steady growth, driven by the modernization of aging infrastructure and the increasing adoption of renewable energy projects.
