South Africa Wire and Cable Market Driven by Growing Demand for Copper Wires and Cables

According to a recent market research report published by Transparency Market Research, the South Africa wire and cable market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 12% during the period from 2014 to 2020. The report, titled “Wire and Cable Market - South Africa Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020,” projects the South Africa wire and cable market to reach a valuation of US$834.5 mn by 2020.

In the industrial sector, wires and cables are an important constituent. Being a developing nation, South Africa has been investing heavily in the infrastructure sector. In 2012, the country adopted a National Infrastructure Plan and focused on upgrading existing infrastructure while constructing new electricity plants, ports, railway systems, roads, and others. Increasing capacity of the transmission grids across the nation has fuelled the demand for wires and cables.

The report states that the rapid growth of the automobile industry in South Africa and rise in the number of local cable manufacturers has boosted the growth of the South Africa wire and cable market. Various initiatives taken by the government to support the growth of the infrastructure sector in the country has also supported the market’s growth. However, the growing concerns about the disposal and recycling of wires and cables might hinder the growth of the market. During the forecast horizon, the in-vehicle wiring applications are expected to drive demand for specialty automotive wire and cable.
