The submarine power cable market is projected to grow from US$ 7,643.46 million in 2021 to US$ 11,829.01 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2021 to 2028.

Electricity generated by offshore wind turbines is sent to land via several cable systems buried in the seabed. Thus, the rising investment by developed and developing nations in offshore wind energy plants to generate wind energy is propelling the demand for submarine power cables. Some of the major investments include:

  • In 2021, the British government announced that GRI Renewables Industries and Siemens Gamesa spent more than US$ 360.70 million (260 million pounds) in offshore wind manufacturing facilities in Northeast England.
  • According to WindEurope, in 2020, the European offshore wind business had drawn ~US$ 31.7 billion (26 billion euros) in investment. The investments are planned to fund a total of 7.1 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power over the next few years, with projects being designed and built.

Thus, these high investments from developed and developing countries are a few factors driving the submarine power cable market

– Submarine Power Cable Market

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Submarine Power Cable Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a massive decline in the North American submarine power cable market, wherein the market in 2020 has witnessed around a 14% decline compared to its previous year. This is due to various factors, such as the decline in demand for submarine power cables during the pandemic caused by disrupted cross-border operations and a halt of the international projects across the region. However, the COVID-19 had led to an upsurge in demand for energy consumption across the region, leading to an increase in awareness for renewable energy generation across offshore platforms. The government across different North American countries is majorly focusing on investing heavily on offshore wind farms that are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Market Insights – Submarine Power Cable Market

The European region homes the longest inter-connector that is the NorNed cable between Norway and the Netherlands with 580 Km of submarine power cables. Currently, the UK has four major power interconnectors. These are bridging the power gap between the UK and France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Northern Ireland. These lines have a total capacity of 4 gigawatts (GW) and account for around 5% of the UK's current energy producing capacity. Aside from the foregoing, there are plans for numerous island power lines and large interconnector cables in the region. NSN Link (Norway), Nemo Link (Belgium), Viking Link (Denmark), IceLink (Iceland), and the Western Link (England) are some of the projected interconnection plans for power transmission. These factors are expected to further contribute to the growth of the European submarine power cable market.

Conductor Material-based Insights

Based on conductor material, the submarine power cable market is segmented into copper and aluminum. The defense segment accounted for the higher share in 2020. The conductive material used undersea has to have adequate weight to minimize the potential downsides of both methods of installing a submarine cable (burying it beneath the seabed or laying it on top of the seabed). In the first scenario, a heavier cable would sink accurately and rapidly into position in the fluidized seafloor. In the second scenario, a heavier cable will withstand the maximum tidal seabed currents expected, even in stormy conditions, when laid on the seabed. Copper's much larger specific weight compared to aluminum offers it an edge in both areas, resulting in a more efficient cable-laying procedure and improved cable stability, whether buried or not. These factors encourage the rapid utilization of copper as a conductive material in the global submarine power cable market. Some manufacturers offering copper power cables include Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.; ABB; Bhuwal Insulation Cable Pvt. Ltd.; and Zhengzhou JYC Wire and Cable Co., Ltd.

The submarine power cable market is analyzed on the basis of type, conductor material, voltage, application, and geography. Based on type, the submarine power cable market is bifurcated into single-core and multicore. Based on conductor material, the submarine power cable market is segmented into copper and aluminum. Based on voltage, the submarine power cable market is segmented into ground high voltage and medium voltage. Based on application, the submarine power cable market is segmented into offshore oil and gas, offshore wind power, and inter-country & island connection. Based on geography, the submarine power cable market is primarily segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South and Central America. Prysmian Group, Sumitomo Corporation, Furukawa Electric Group, LS Cable & System Ltd., and ABB Ltd. are among the few players that are profiled during this study.

Players operating in the submarine power cable market are mainly focused on the development of advanced and efficient products.

  • In 2022, Beach Energy Limited has awarded a contract to JDR, TFKable Group's global subsea umbilical provider and servicer (BEL). Four subsea umbilicals ranging in length from 400 to 4,360 meters, as well as termination hardware such as hydraulic and electrical flying leads, are part of the scope of work. The umbilicals will be utilized as part of a subsea production system in the Otway Basin, off the coast of Victoria, to produce natural gas..
