DUBLIN- According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, The global aerospace wires & cables market is expected to grow at a promising CAGR of 6.9% to reach a sales figure of US$ 0.9 billion in 2027.
Wires & cables are often considered a commodity product and form a crucial component in an aircraft. Wires form cables, cables form wire harnesses and harnesses assembled along with other components such as conduits and sleeves, backshells, connectors, etc. form the wiring system or electronic wiring interconnect system (EWIS). Being one of the building block elements in aircraft functioning, wires & cables have ceaselessly been in demand with a gradual increase of usage in modern aircraft.
For instance, Boeing 737 has ~40 miles of wires & cables. The company almost doubled the wires & cables consumption to 100 miles in its B767 program and further tripled to 310 miles in its B787 program. A similar trajectory has been recorded for the Airbus programs. Aerospace wires & cables are required to conform to several predetermined standards, distinct to each region. They are used in a wide range of applications such as avionics, lighting, and flight control surfaces.
The emergence of the pandemic in 2020, left the aerospace industry in shambles. The industry stakeholders incurred heavy losses and were forced to resort to extreme measures and reorient their age-old strategies in order to ensure survival and long-term stability. However, after the passing of the relapse waves of COVID-19 accompanied by massive vaccination drives carried out by nations across the globe, different aircraft segments began to recover from 2021.
The industry’s rebound had a mirroring impact on the aerospace wires and cable market, as the market recorded a positive YoY (5.9%) during 2020-2021. Key factors fuelling the growth of the market in the long run are rebounding commercial aircraft production, ageing aircraft fleet size, increasing use of wires & cables in modern aircraft, and fervent efforts toward developing electric aircraft.
Segments’ Analysis
Based on the product type, we have segmented the market as hook-up wires, coaxial cables, data bus cables, power cables, and others. Hook-Up wires held the largest share of the market in 2021. Data bus cables weren’t far behind and captured around one-fourth share in 2021. Data bus cables are widely used in avionics, in-flight entertainment, and communication needs. The latter is also expected to record the fastest long-term growth during the forecast period.
Based on the application type, the market is classified as avionics, interiors, propulsion system, airframe, and others. Interior applications are likely to be the key demand generators for wires and cables during the forecast period. The avionics segment is expected to record significant growth during the forecast period. High-speed, lightweight, compact, and durable wires & cables are most key requirements for avionics applications.
With the highest growth (YoY) in the demand for aerospace wires & cables in 2021, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. On the other hand, North America is likely to take lead in the market, driven by a robust supply chain with the presence of several stakeholders. Key wires & cables suppliers in the region are Carlisle Companies, Inc., Judd Wire, Inc., W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., and Amphenol Corporation.
Key Players
The aerospace wires & cables market has remained mostly latent in the past few years with no significant mergers & acquisitions. The sudden outburst of the pandemic has only added to the inertia of the market. For instance, the fallout of the Carlisle-Prysmian deal for the acquisition of Draka in 2020, is an imperative survival strategy to maintain cash liquidity. The key players in the aerospace wires & cables market are:
- Carlisle Companies, Inc.
- Nexans S.A.
- TE Connectivity
- Judd Wire, Inc.
- Draka Fileca SAS (Prysmian)
Development of customized solutions for key customers, advancements in wires & cables, and a continuous drive towards betterment and high-performance solutions are some of the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain a competitive edge in the market.
