Apart from being priced low, these cables also increase the risk of accidents because of their low quality. The availability of counterfeited cables forces genuine manufacturers to spend heavy amounts to stop the sale of counterfeited products. According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry report, about 20% of all road accidents in India are attributed to counterfeit automotive parts with Rs 2,200 crore revenue being lost by the government due to these counterfeit products. Thus, the availability of counterfeit auto parts hampers the growth of the automotive cables market. The companies in the automotive cables market are investing in the substitution of copper with aluminum in battery cables to save manufacturing costs and reduce weight. Aluminum used is one-third the weight of copper and is less expensive than copper. The replacement holds no significant difference in the performance of the cable. Following the trend in October 2021, Toyota Boshoku Corporation, a Japan-based automotive component manufacturer, adopted the use of aluminum electrical wire to reduce the weight of automobiles and enhance their environmental performance. In April 2022, Suprajit Engineering, an India-based mechanical cable and halogen bulb manufacturer acquired Kongsberg Automotive ASA for a deal of $ 42 million. Through this acquisition, Suprojit Engineering aims to strengthen its Light Duty Cable (LDC) business unit and to gain a competitive advantage. Kongsberg Automotive ASA is a Norway-based automotive part manufacturer. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the global automotive cables market in 2022.

Metal and mineral refer to solid, naturally occurring inorganic materials that make up the crust of the earth and are smelted from ore, pigs, or scrap using electrometallurgical techniques and inorganic, solid, naturally occurring compounds with properties such as tenacity, cleavage, fracture, specific gravity, lustre, colour, and hardness. The main types of metal and mining are mineral, metal, and metal products. Metal products refer to the finished products that are made out of metals. These are used for chemicals manufacturing, metallurgy, electrical grid infrastructure, electronics, glass products, vehicles, and other applications that are used By End Users such as construction, manufacturing, and Other End Users. The global metal and mineral market is segmented - 1) By Type: Mineral, Metal, Metal Products 2) By Application: Chemicals Manufacturing, Metallurgy, Electrical Grid Infrastructure, Electronics, Glass Products, Vehicles, Other Applications 3) By End User: Construction, Manufacturing, Other End Users Subsegments Covered: Cement and Concrete Products, Glass and Glass Products, Other Non-Metallic Mineral Products, Clay Products and Refractories, Lime and Gypsum Products, Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy, Processed Nonferrous Metal, Processed Alumina and Aluminum, Foundries, Steel Products, Forged and Stamped Goods, Cutlery and Hand Tools, Architectural and Structural Metals, Boiler, Tank, and Shipping Container, Hardware, Spring and Wire Products, Machine Shops, Turned Product and Screw, Nut, and Bolt, Coated, Engraved, and Heat Treated Metal Products, Metal Valves, Other Fabricated Metal Products, The global metal and mineral market size grew from $7540.84 billion in 2022 to $8126.27 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of metal and mineral is expected to grow to $10650.94 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.0%. Rapid advances in wireless technology and miniaturization (which refers to designing smaller components for equipment) are expected to drive innovation in metal and mineral market manufacturing, thus driving the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, technologies such as 3D printing, artificial intelligence and big data analytics are being used during the manufacturing process, resulting in higher productivity, lower operating costs and higher margins. For instance, according to a report by Accenture, the manufacturing sector will witness the highest annual gross value added (GVA) growth rate of 4.4% due to artificial intelligence by 2035. The report also states that artificial intelligence has the potential to increase profitability by an average of 38% by 2035. Lower operating costs lead to higher margins, this allows companies to expand production and increase product portfolio, thus driving the growth of the metal and mineral manufacturing market going forward. Major companies in the metal and mineral market are ArcelorMittal S.A, POSCO, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, China National Building Material Group Co. Ltd., Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A, Jiangxi Copper Company, Votorantim S.A, JFE Holdings Inc., and LafargeHolcim Ltd. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the metal and mineral manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Manufacturers depend heavily on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. The outbreak has hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the metal and mineral manufacturing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Many metal and mineral market manufacturing companies are using robotics and automation to improve plant efficiency and productivity. Sensors are being used in various machines to access invaluable data for improving efficiencies and reducing potential breakdowns. For instance, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), 1.2 million industrial robots are expected to be deployed by 2025, thus indicating a rise in automation and robotics technology adoption to improve productivity and reduce production costs. According to the KPMG report, 16% of executives of global metals companies have already invested in robotics for metal manufacturing, 31% of executives have set plans to possibly invest in robotics for new technology and opportunities, and 42% are willing to invest in robotics shortly. Additionally, the report states, 63% of the executives of metal manufacturing companies are considering investing in automation.
