Installation Segmentation Insights 

In 2023, the overhead installation segment held the largest share of the revenue. This method, involving the placement of wires and cables above ground, is the most common worldwide due to its simplicity and affordability. It's particularly favored in less populated countries. Even in regions prone to natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, overhead installation is often chosen.

However, the underground installation segment is projected to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. Burying cables underground reduces maintenance costs and transmission losses, making it a more efficient and reliable option. The increasing demand from sectors like commercial, residential, automotive, telecom, energy, and power is driving the expansion and modernization of infrastructure, which, in turn, is boosting the demand for wire and cable products. Developing nations like India, China, and Vietnam are investing substantial portions of their GDP in infrastructure development, further fueling this growth.
