Global Fire-Resistant Cable Market Overview

Fire resistance cable is also known as fire-performance cable, or fire-survival cable. Fire-resistant cables continue to operate normally for a specific time after being exposed to prolonged fire. These cables are designed to provide circuit integrity for applications like sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, rescue elevators, alarm horns, and smoke exhaust systems during a fire. Cables of this type have a higher melting point, are more resistant to burning, produce less smoke and toxicity, and produce less acid gas. Further, such cables are constructed with high-quality materials to be suitable for applications with greater mechanical loads and to protect the power supply during a fire.

Global Fire-Resistant Cable Market Trend

Growth Drivers

Rise in Demand for Fire-Resistant Cables for Fire Safety & Protection is Propelling the Market Growth

Fire-resistant cables produce less smoke, are low in toxicity, emit little acid gas, and are resistant to combustion and high temperatures. A fire-resistant cable will safeguard circuit integrity in the event of a fire. Several end-use sectors are seeing an increase in demand for fire-resistant cables in response to the need for public safety against fires. For instance, NKT Group signed service agreements with Elia, 50 Hertz, and Nemo Link in November 2020 to integrate energy into the Belgian, UK, and German power grids. Various end-use sectors require fire-resistant cables for fire protection and safety during fire mishaps or disasters, therefore expanding the market demand for fire-resistant cables.

Restraints

Instability in Raw Materials Prices is Hampering the Growth of the Market

The costs of raw materials and the energy required to manufacture fire-resistant cables are constantly fluctuating. The value chain, which includes procurement and operating costs, is directly affected by the unpredictable prices of these commodities. Manufacturers' profit margins are also affected by sudden fluctuation in prices. Rubber, copper, plastic, and aluminum are among the most common raw materials utilized in manufacturing fire-resistant cables. Variations in the prices of these raw materials are primarily due to the instability of energy and crude oil costs, which are necessary for the manufacturing and transportation of these goods. Raw materials for fire-resistant cables increase in cost when crude oil and energy prices fluctuate. As a result, the cost of these materials affects the cost of fire-resistant cables directly.

Global Fire-Resistant Cable Market Impact of COVID-19

The novel coronavirus has negatively impacted the fire-resistant cable market. Across various end-use industries (mainly construction, manufacturing, and energy), the fire-resistant cable market has seen a huge drop in demand in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. POSOCO, IEA International Energy Agency Global Energy Review 2020, states that the COVID-19 in India resulted in one of the largest electricity demand drops in the world, with power demand falling by 28% by the end of March 2020. In the days following the emergency lockdown, which began on March 25, 2020, hospitals, critical services, and the residential sector increased their energy consumption, but industrial demand and commercial activity decreased significantly. As the market recovers from the pandemic, the government and various manufacturers are working together to push the market forward.

Global Fire-Resistant Cable Market: By End-Use Industry

Based on the end-use industry, the global fire-resistant cable market is segmented into building & construction, automotive & transportation, manufacturing, energy, and others. The building & construction segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is likely to dominate the segment during the forecast period. The public's growing awareness of building safety has resulted in a rise in demand for fire-resistant cables. In both residential and non-residential environments, fire-resistant cables can be utilized for wiring and connectivity. The cables are easy to install, ensure electrical circuit reliability, and are able to withstand high temperatures during fires, thus ensuring human safety. Furthermore, these cables are used in every commercial and residential facility to distribute electricity. With the surge in construction activity, fire-resistant cables are witnessing high demand.
