Furthermore, these systems support quicker data transmission, which helps businesses increase the efficiency of their decision-making process and maximize profitability. However, the expensive expense of fiber optic cables, their incompatibility with antiquated communication infrastructure, and fluctuating copper costs threaten industry expansion.

The adoption of structured cabling systems across all industries in the North American market has been phenomenal. Due to the presence of major technology players, the region has been a pioneer in implementing new, advanced technologies. The expansion of the industry has been supported by the availability of improved technological infrastructure and dependable network connectivity across the region.

Product Type Insights

The copper cable segment dominated the market in 2022 with a market share of 49.8%. Copper cables are suitable for short and medium-distance transmission purposes. Owing to technological developments, copper cables are expected to gain preference among data centers and desktop connections and are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the copper cable segment. The copper wire and cable industry is primarily driven by rising electricity demand and strong investment in building development. Furthermore, the growth of smart grids and increased investments in smart power transmission and distribution system upgrades are driving increased demand for the copper cable segment.

The fiber optic cables segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Fiber optics serve as the internet's backbone, and optical fiber cables serve as the medium for transporting data from one location to another. These cables are used in various verticals, including telecommunication, residential and commercial, government, utilities, aerospace, and private data networks. Increasing demand for high-speed Internet services is expected to be the key growth factor for the fiber optic cables segment. The growing use of new telecommunication technologies, such as 5G mobile and FTTX (Fiber-to-the-X) applications, is also expected to drive the growth of this segment.

Application Insights

The data center segment is expected to exhibit a high CAGR of over 11.3% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of structured cabling in data centers is due to the increasing use of IoT devices, mobile data, and smart applications. A significant amount of data is generated through digital devices, necessitating more storage, thus driving demand for data centers. This, in turn, increases demand for high data transmission speeds. Data center market competitors are increasing their foothold in previously untapped locations. Consequently, demand for structured cabling systems is anticipated to grow over the forecast period.

The LAN segment dominated the structured cabling market in 2022, and the trend is estimated to continue over the forecast period. Due to the increasing need for high-speed networks, the networking system is fragmented into smaller parts, with shorter cable lengths to facilitate high data speed. LAN enables a high data transmission speed, as the data is fragmented into smaller chunks. Due to the performance of several market sectors, the LAN cable market is expected to increase significantly. The CATEGORY 6 CABLE sector will be the fastest-growing segment among others, contributing more to the growth of the LAN Cable market.

Vertical Insights

The IT and telecommunications segment dominated the market in 2022 with a share of around 35%. Technological innovations in the telecommunications sector, such as the 5G network, require high bandwidth and low latency provided by structured cabling systems. This drives the market over the forecast period.
