The aluminum cable market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the aluminum cable has seen a robust growth in the past few years. It is projected to expand from a $59.14 billion evaluation in 2024 to $62.48 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
This growth during the historic period can be ascribed to factors like cost-effectiveness, resistance to corrosion, electric conductivity, being lightweight, and the growth of power infrastructure.
The aluminum cable market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the aluminum cable market size is anticipated to experience robust growth, reaching $78.85 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
This growth during the forecast period can be associated with the expanded use of renewable energy, the development of smart grids, greater urban electrification, regulations for energy efficiency, and the adoption of sustainable construction methods. Key trends for the forecast period encompass advancements in manufacturing technology, investing in infrastructure, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability, rising demand within the construction industry, and market proliferation in emerging regions.
The surge in demand for electric vehicles is set to ignite the expansion of the aluminum cable market. Electric vehicles, which are powered by one or more electric motors using battery-stored electrical energy or gaining it from an external source, cause this rise. Aluminum cables, thanks to their excellent electrical conductivity, enable efficient power transmission in electric vehicles, and they are also utilized for electric car chargers. As an example, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, an organization based in the United States, reported in January 2024 that the amalgamated sales of hybrid cars, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEVS) represented 16.3% of overall new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in the United States in 2023. Furthermore, the Department Of Energy, a US-based government website, declared in March 2022 that in 2021, 73% of all plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales in the US were electric vehicles (EV). Hence, the escalating demand for electric vehicles is fueling the expansion of the aluminum cable market.

Leading firms in the aluminum cable market are embracing innovation to preserve their market presence. For example, Nexans S.A., an enterprise based in France that specializes in cables and fiber optics, unveiled a unique line of low-carbon aluminum distribution cables in May 2023. This creative strategy considerably cuts down the greenhouse gas emissions emanating from low and medium voltage power cables, marking a significant drop of 35-50% based on the specific product. The company now employs entirely low-carbon aluminum in alignment with the decarbonization criteria established by the Aluminum Forward 2030 coalition. Furthermore, they integrate up to 50% recycled plastic into the insulation and cladding of the cables.
