Industry Outlook

In FY25, the cables and wire market was valued at ~₹1,951 billion, up from ₹781 billion in FY20, registering a CAGR of 20.1%. This notable surge can be primarily attributed to a remarkable growth of high voltage (HV) & extra-high voltage (EHV)-above 33 KV cables and elastomeric cables also known as rubber cables. Other cable categories contributing substantially to the accelerated market growth include PVC control cables & instrumentation, building wires, and switchboard cables, driven by pickup in construction activities in both commercial and residential sectors post COVID-19.

Moving forward, Crisil Intelligence expects the wires and cables market size to grow at a CAGR of 11-13% between FY25 and FY30 and reach ₹3350 billion-₹3550 billion by FY30 due to ongoing infrastructure development projects, surge in construction activities and increasing digital connectivity, railway electrification, smart grid investments and export demand.
