LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market Segment Analysis – By Voltage
Upto 1kV cables dominated the LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market with a share of 36.7% in 2021. The key factor driving the growth of the upto 1 kV market is the need for low voltage cables in the electrical power distribution system. Because of their current carrying capacity, upto 1kV cables are increasingly being used in the gas station, elevator, fire alarm system, public place, and others. Generally, stranded copper or aluminum conductors are used in the low voltage (upto 1kV) cables. Additionally, increasing investments in the grid modernization project will drive the need for low voltage (upto 1kV) cables for power distribution in the forecast period. For instance, Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O'Regan Jr. in June 2021 announced a US$964 million program to promote smart renewable energy and grid modernization projects that would reduce emissions by investing in clean energy technologies like as wind, solar, hydro, storage, geothermal, and tidal. Such initiatives will raise the need for LSZH cable with voltage upto 1kV in grid stations, which would further drive the growth of the industry.
LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market Segment Analysis – By Type
Thermoplastic LSZH cables dominated the Canada LSZH cables market with a share of 78.0% in 2021. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped after being processed. Because of their excellent physical properties and ability to pass the most stringent flame tests, chlorinated thermoset jackets are commonly used in industrial applications. The demand for thermoplastics cables are rising, since thermoplastics are more environmental friendly than thermoset LSZH cable. Additionally, these cables use less energy, emit fewer pollutants during production, and can also be recyclable. In comparison to XLPE, they also provide operational benefits in the field. Thermoplastics are frequently easier to strip, making them more suitable for automated processing in high-volume applications. Increasing growth of thermoplastic LSZH cable due to its attractive properties is thus bolstering the growth of the Canada LSZH cable market growth.
LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
Asia-Pacific dominated the market by a market share of more than 35.9% in 2021 due to the rising demand of high-speed cables and connectors along with increasing investments in infrastructure development in countries such as India and China. In Countries such as India, China, Japan and so on, several renewable energy plants are planning to expand their presence in this region. In December 2020, EDF International Networks and Capgemini signed a partnership to combine their expertise to develop smart metering and smarts grids solutions. This strategic collaboration offers innovations, including smart meters, software and applications, which enable to adjust supply to demand and also ascertain the balance of the distribution networks. Hence, the rapid adoption of advanced metering infrastructure and introduction of installation of smart meter are some of the prominent factors that accelerate the Energy and Utility LSZH Cables Market.
LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market Drivers
Surging demand for LSZH cables due to rising building and construction activities
The rising growth of building and construction activities is the key driver for Canada's LSZH cable market growth. The building and construction sector generally includes residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructural buildings. High-performance cables, such as LSZH cables, are capable of guaranteeing safety standards. Due to their properties, the cables can be used in critical service applications such as accommodation spaces, where people evacuation routes must be clear from visual obstruction and acid/toxic gas released during a fire. Thus, the need for safety in the construction industry is driving the demand for LSZH cables. In both residential and non-residential environments, LSZH cables can be utilized for wiring and connectivity. The cables are simple to install, ensure electrical circuit reliability, and endure high temperatures during fires, ensuring human safety. Additionally, the growing awareness of building safety has increased the demand for fire-resistant cables such as LSZH cables. In practically every commercial and residential facility, these cables are used for electricity distribution. In Canada, the LSZH cable market is being driven by increasing government initiatives and investments in the building & construction industry. For instance, according to Statistics Canada, in the second quarter of 2021, total building construction investment surged by 7.3% to US$ 57.2 billion. The residential building reached $40 billion for the first time ($43.4 billion), representing a 9.3% rise over the first quarter. The residential sector's strength this quarter was driven by single-unit investment, particularly in the larger provinces.
Rising Renewable Energy Investment
The increasing government investments in power generation will drive the market for Canada LSZH cable in the forecast period. For instance, according to the Government of Canada, in 2021, the Minister of Natural Resources launched a program to support the smart renewable energy and grid modernization projects, of US$ 964 million, to lower emissions by investing in clean energy technologies, like geothermal, wind, storage, solar, hydro, and tidal. Thus, driving the market growth. Government institutions and policy makers globally are increasing efforts to successfully achieve the emission reduction targets. Respective governments and market players are investing aggressively towards clean energy sources. This has fuelled the industry growth as demand for installation of high capacity offshore wind energy projects is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period, 2020-2025. Governments are focused on creating policies and regulations to fuel the growth of offshore wind energy market. In 2019, the U.K. government agreed to offer $739.3 million of state subsidies to industry players who agreed to invest in offwind energy projects $331.8million over the next 11 years. Additionally, supportive regulatory framework, government policies and mandates along with rapidly declining process for wind turbines will drive the North America industry growth. These rising investments are set to drive adoption of LSZH Cables.
LSZH Cable For Energy & Utilities Market Challenges
Drawbacks associated with LSZH cables will Hamper the Market Growth
LSZH cables are typically more expensive than equivalent PVC cables, and certain types are less flexible. Low smoke zero halogen cables offer numerous significant safety benefits, but there may be an electrical and mechanical trade-off. The cable jacket must contain a high percentage of filler material to be low-smoke zero-halogen. This increase in filler material could render the jacket less chemical and water-resistant and provide poorer mechanical and electrical properties than a non-LSZH counterpart. LSZH jackets are also more prone to jacket cracking during installation, so special lubricants may be required to prevent damage, particularly in cold environments. Furthermore, the LSZH cable is not suitable for robotic or continuous flex applications because of its limited flexibility. As a result, LSZH cable is frequently used in applications where fire safety is more important than specific electrical and mechanical properties. Thus, due to the drawbacks mentioned above associated with LSZH cable, the market is anticipated to face challenges in the upcoming years.
