The control cable market will grow at a CAGR of 3.41% to reach US$25.01 billion in 2030 from US$21.15 billion in 2025.

The instrumentation cables which send signals that have low voltage in order to regulate the functioning of a device are called control cables. These cables are intended specifically for automation controls as they have a copper conductor and are used for areas that require low voltage. Control cables have better interference resistance than power cables, which makes them appropriate for transmitting low-voltage signals. These are also used for wiring control circuits and work at low power. The control cables exhibit high flexibility, having multi-core cables along with copper conductors. The growing automotive industry and rising infrastructure spending will drive the demand for control cables worldwide. Moreover, companies are investing to explore new applications of control cables, which will further augment the demand for control cables during the forecast period.
The market for control cables is majorly driven by rapidly expanding end-user sectors, such as automotive, rail & transportation, and building & construction, owing to fast-paced industrialization and urbanization. In 2024, the automotive sector accounted for a major share of the global control cables market, driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced automation systems. Moreover, increasing applications of control cables in renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar farms, are further contributing to the market growth significantly. Government spending on infrastructure development, especially in developing countries, and continuous product innovation are expected to create ample opportunities for the vendors of these cables over the projected period. For instance, in 2023, the Indian government announced an investment of USD 1.4 trillion in infrastructure development under its National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), which is expected to boost the demand for control cables in the region.
Geographically, Asia Pacific is expected to drive the demand for control cables on account of demand originating from expanding end-use sectors and the presence of several control cable manufacturers. In 2024, Asia Pacific held the largest share globally with China, India, and Japan being the major markets. The region's growth is fuelled by rapid urbanization, industrialization, and government initiatives to develop smart cities and transportation networks. For instance, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and India's Smart Cities Mission are driving significant demand for control cables in infrastructure and automation projects. Moreover, ongoing technological improvements in the region, such as the adoption of Industry 4.0 and IoT-enabled automation systems, are expected to have a significant impact on market growth. Europe and North America are also expected to witness steady growth, driven by the modernization of aging infrastructure and the increasing adoption of renewable energy projects.
