What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Structured Cabling Market?
The burgeoning need for high-speed connectivity is projected to be a significant factor in the expansion of the structured cabling market. Structured cabling incorporates a collection of cables and associated hardware that forms the telecommunication infrastructure to transport video, voice, and data signals from one location to another within a communication system in an organization. High-speed connectivity necessitates the use of connected devices and cables to ensure a reliable and fast network connection. For example, global over-the-top (OTT) services, where data transfer is approximately in the scale of 100TB/sec, need a minimum of 3000+ fiber strand optic fiber cables for a single data center to fulfill the viewers' demands. The Cisco VNI Global IP traffic forecast from 2017-2022 states that data requirement is rapidly escalating at a CAGR of 26%. As the demand for data rises, so does the necessity for more fibers, hence escalating the need to manage these fiber cables. Therefore, the rising need for high-speed connectivity is anticipated to stimulate the demand for the structured cabling market expansion.
