The submarine power cable industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The single core segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
In the dynamic and evolving the market, single-core cables have emerged as a leading segment, generating significant revenue in 2023. These cables, featuring a single conductor encased in a protective sheath, offer numerous advantages for long-distance underwater power transmission. Their flexible design and compact construction make them suitable for offshore renewable energy projects and international power connections, which often encounter challenging environmental conditions, such as high pressure and corrosive seawater. Single-core cables boast superior insulating qualities and fewer transmission losses, ensuring a consistent and efficient power supply. The streamlined installation process and minimal maintenance requirements further contribute to their popularity.
Subsea cable installation is a critical aspect of the market, requiring rigorous environmental impact assessments, hydrographic surveys, and geotechnical investigations. Advanced technologies like remotely operated vehicles, cable joint design, and cable trenching technology facilitate the installation process. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations play a crucial role in the market, converting alternating current to direct current for efficient power transmission. Optical fiber communication and electromagnetic field analysis are essential for monitoring the cable's performance and detecting potential issues, such as water ingress or cable faults. Cable lifespan prediction, network monitoring systems, and power cable termination are other key aspects of the market.
The market also faces challenges, including ampacity derating factors, seismic hazard assessment, and cable armoring techniques for fault current protection. Protective coating systems, corrosion protection methods, and high-voltage grounding are essential for ensuring the cables' durability and longevity. According to recent studies, the market for submarine power cables is projected to grow by 15% in the next three years, driven by increasing demand for renewable energy sources and international power connections. Additionally, the market is expected to expand by 12% over the next five years, reflecting the ongoing evolution of technologies and applications. These trends underscore the market's continuous growth and the importance of staying informed about the latest developments.
The Single core segment was valued at USD 2.58 billion in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.
