Wire & Cable Industry: Sales Markets

Outlook and Trends in the Global Telecommunication Sector
From: QYResearch, Albany, NY/US, www.qyresearchreports.com
Date: Feb 2015
The telecom sector will be the epicenter for development, disruption, and innovation for virtually a number of industries. Broadband and mobile device connectivity will be embedded more within the society and these things play a key role in fuelling the momentum around prime trends including Internet of Things (IoT), video streaming, and mobile payments. The count of ‘connected things’ will continue to develop as smart and mobile device utilization as well as connectivity continues to increase, which will ultimately define and shape the space of IoT. In addition, as the count of embedded devices requiring mobile connectivity expands, telecommunication organizations will look for more opportunities to rise their revenue via core businesses including sales of network devices and equipment, and network connectivity. Carriers will have to keep on focusing on presenting voice and data services that are affordable, high-quality, and reliable. The prime challenge lies in doing the same thing in 2016 within a market where there is rising utilization, scarce spectrum, and declining rates. The usage of data has grown exponentially, especially owing to streaming services and is predicted to maintain dominant in forthcoming years. The usage of Wi-Fi will remain as the prime factor particularly as carriers plan to offload increased mobile traffic on broadband networks particularly fiber. In addition, carriers will require to uptake network strategies for better managing of capacity, quality, and coverage. Smartphones and wearables are two major areas to keep a watch on. It has been found that wearables have gained a lot of traction in the market and the rate of ownership have doubled as compared to previous year, though at relatively meagre levels offering substantial growth potential. The consumption of huge data will keep on growing as per the IoT expansion and increased content streaming, particularly videos. Hence, the above mentioned trends in the market will change the overall market dynamics in forthcoming years. Furthermore, the huge upcoming change in the telecommunications sector is the upcoming fifth generation mobile networks (5G).

Global Automotive Mobility Study (in German)
From: Arthur D. Little GmbH, Frankfurt/Main, Germany, www.adlittle.de
Date: Aug 2015
The global automobile industry is facing three megatrends: Autonomous driving, electric vehicles and car sharing are the main challenges for the future. Arthur D. Little conducted a study of 6,500 customers in ten core markets to find out what they thought of these new trends. Customers in Germany are extraordinarily sceptical of all three trends, even though producers have already invested billions of euros into the new technologies. Only 22% of German customers say they would use a completely autonomous car, whereas 45% refuse completely. Wolf-Dieter Hoppe, Arthur D. Little car expert, points out that the main challenge for OEMs is to gain customers’ trust in their technologies because most people are concerned about safety. Furthermore, the study points out that customers do not consider electronic cars a serious alternative to current car options. German customers are restricted by the high costs of electric cars, lack of infrastructure and low range. Arthur D. Little experts assure that car sharing will not threaten OEMs’ revenues in the long run. The niche develops constantly, but private cars will not lose their current status. The authors of the study recognize that German companies are in a leading position in the global car-sharing industry.

Also, a seven-year historic analysis is provided for these markets. Market data and analytics are derived from primary and secondary research. Company profiles are primarily based on public domain information including company URLs.
The global market for current-carrying wiring devices is projected to reach US$44.9 billion by 2020, driven by growing investments in residential and non-residential building construction, high tide in building renovation programs, favorable economic climate, and product innovations.
Current-carrying wiring devices, a part of electrical products and equipment industry, have long played a pivotal role in revolutionizing architectural dynamics of residential and non-residential constructions. The market for current-carrying wiring devices is highly variable and dependent on factors such as economic conditions, growth in GDP, consumer purchasing power, and overall health of the domestic housing and construction industry.
The market in general is benefiting from the ongoing urbanization drive which has been making strong progress over the past two decades in several parts of the world. With urban population and urban households poised to increase in the coming years, opportunities for current-carrying wiring devices are expected to remain positive. The market is also gaining impetus from growing investments in the commercial real estate (CRE) sector. Despite consuming significantly lower volumes of wiring devices than the residential sector, commercial establishments generate higher per unit revenues as compared to residential projects.
The recent spurt in demand for electronic devices, particularly in developed markets, is lending significant traction to growth in the market. The global consumer electronics industry is presently witnessing transformational growth, with trends such as digitalization, miniaturization and mobility unleashing new demand opportunities. Product innovations in various market segments including Receptacles and Electric Switches among others has emerged as a key trait of the market. Some of the noteworthy innovations in the market include anti-microbial switches, indicator switches, sensor switches for home automation, tamper-resistant receptacles, USB receptacles, weather-resistant receptacles, Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles among others. Product innovations and engineering designs in the segment are primarily focused on improving safety, performance efficiency and aesthetics to suit changing consumer tastes, lifestyles, power needs and also comply with new regulations.
