Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing telecommunication sector is a major driving factor for the growth. The telecommunications industry has been growing significantly for the past few years globally. This includes various developments in mobile networks, networks, and cloud systems. The telecommunication sector is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Since 2015, there has been significant growth of IP traffic and it is expected to increase by nearly three times over the forecast period. Due to the development of mobile telecommunications markets in the Asia Pacific, there is a great deal of potential for strong growth within the Structured Cabling market. This is because rapid growth is expected in mobile Internet use in the region.
A huge investment is made by all major operators of telecommunications services across the considerable population in countries like India to provide 4G coverage. And yet, 5G connections have already been launched by developed countries such as the United States at one level ahead of APAC. The developed countries will primarily focus on the development of 5G technologies. The other countries would focus on the development of the 4G technologies. These changes and developments in the telecommunication sector will increase the demand for structured cabling systems. During the forecast period, this would have a positive impact on market growth.
The Emerging cloud computing technology is a major sign in a structured cable market. Organizations around the world are gradually recognizing that their presence of onsite Data Center infrastructure has a limited tactical benefit for them. In contrast, the focus on cloud computing technology will allow these firms to be able to operate more flexibly, with a high level of computing power and business dynamism that are essential for their overall growth. The presence of an on-premises data center infrastructure is a costly and complex affair for companies to maintain and invest in. Hence, the need to invest their money and energy in more strategic avenues has been encouraging them to adopt cloud-based services.
Cloud computing helps companies in hiring talent across the globe and pursuing new business opportunities, irrespective of geographic location. End-user industries, such as healthcare and life sciences, can use cloud-enabled technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to allow unprecedented data analytics solutions to be delivered. This would revolutionize the respective industry operations. Cloud-based services offer several benefits over data center infrastructure. The benefits are greater efficiency, cost containment, and better performance.
However, The modern VDI is cloud-native, which enables overcoming the high costs and low efficiency of legacy VDI solutions. They're helping to avoid the necessity of maintaining a Dedicated Infrastructure for Virtual Desktops. This also contributes significantly to reducing the organization's operational costs. The use of data center space in enterprises will be reduced by consolidating the data centers. The growth in the global structured cabling market during this period would therefore be negatively affected.
The volatile raw material prices are a major challenge in a structured cabling market. Aluminum and copper are the primary raw materials that constitute a structured cabling system. It is made from an internal aluminum conductor bonded with copper, and it's a lot heavier than the solid copper cable. The acquisition of these raw materials is a considerable investment by all suppliers. These materials are ideally suitable for application in extreme conditions in industries because of their high melting point and ruggedness. Vendors try to recover the instability in the cost of metals by changing the final product prices.
It takes a considerable amount of time to change the customer price strategy, resulting in periods during which selling prices are not equal to metal prices. The vendors lose money as a result. When raw material prices escalate, vendors can expect a rise in their gross profit margins if they can increase the final selling price of the product and recover the cost of raw materials. When vendors are unable to raise the amount due to stiff competition among players, then their gross revenue decreases.
The copper cable sector segment was the market leader with the largest market share of the global structured cabling market in 2022. Copper wires work well for transmission across short and medium distances. Copper cables are likely to become more popular among data centers and desktop connections as a result of technological advancements, and they are anticipated to be profitable for the growth of the structured cabling market.

The Copper Cable Segment segment was valued at USD 8,500 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The demand for copper cable is also rising because of the expansion of smart grids and rising investments in improvements to smart power transmission and distribution systems. This is why, during the forecast period, an increase in copper cable demand will drive growth in the world market.
The fibre optic cables segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Fiber optic cables are widely used in structured cabling systems due to their superior performance and high data transmission capabilities. They're made by tiny strands of glass or plastic, called optical fibres that might transmit data in the form of electric signals over a wide range. The cables are also used by a number of different sectors, such as telecommunications, homes and businesses, public services, utilities, and aeronautical data networks.

North America is estimated to contribute 33% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.
The data center market, which is a major contributor to the global structured cabling market, showed a clear dominance in 2022 in North America, compared with the other two regions. The dominance was primarily because of the increasing number of data center establishments in the region. This increased the need for IT infrastructure and associated cabling solutions. Technavio expects the region to dominate the market in focus during the forecast period as well.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a halt in most industrial activities, which negatively impacted the structured cabling market in North America in 2020. However, the regional market started to recover in 2021 due to increased vaccination rates in the region, especially in the US. As a result, restrictions were lifted and all industrial activity resumed. These factors in the region are expected to have a favorable effect on the structure cable market. The regional market will continue to grow strongly during this period, thanks to robust data center construction in the region.
