by The overhead line product market is estimated to be valued at US$19.78 Bn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Overhead line products include conductors, fittings & fixtures, insulators, and cables that are used for distribution of electricity through overhead lines. Conductors carry electricity over long distance through transmission and distribution lines, while insulators mounted on structures such as poles help avoid short circuits.
Market Dynamics:
The expanding renewable energy sector is a major driver for the overhead line product market. Growing investments in solar and wind energy projects across the world necessitate longer transmission lines to carry electricity from renewable energy farms to demand centers. This is increasing the need for conductors, fittings, insulators, cables and other overhead line equipment. Furthermore, aging power infrastructure in many countries is driving replacement demand. Modernization and upgradation of transmission and distribution networks with new overhead lines requires fresh investments in overhead line products.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the overhead line product market is the growing adoption of advanced and high-performance conductors. With rapid urbanization and industrialization globally, the demand for reliable and efficient power transmission infrastructure has increased significantly. Advanced conductors made of materials like aluminum alloy coated steel (AAAC), all-aluminum alloy (AAAI), and aluminum conductor composite core (ACCC) offer benefits like lower weights and higher heat and current carrying capacities. This enables transmitting more power with the same tower and infrastructure setup. These high-performance conductors are increasingly being used for new transmission line projects as well as upgradation of existing ones.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Advanced products like ACCC and AAAC conductors offer better efficiency and load carrying ability.
Weakness: Setting up new transmission lines require high initial investments. Dependency on crude oil prices for raw material prices.
Opportunity: Growing investment in smart grid and renewable energy integration provides opportunities for network expansions.
Threats: Presence of several local and regional players increases competition. Natural calamities can disrupt supply chains and projects.
