Global Submarine Power Cable Market Definition

Submarine Power Cable is a type of transmission cable and it is used for carrying electric power under the surface of the water. It is called submarine cable because usually carries electric power under saltwater such as arms of the seas, oceans, and straits. The importance of Submarine Power Cables has steadily increased in recent decades. the advent of offshore renewable energy has caused an increase in demand for Submarine Power cables as it requires export cables from wind, wave, and tidal installation to bring renewable energy ashore.

Submarine Power Cable is available in a wide range of sizes from 70mm to, exceeding, 210mm in diameter and in two flavors including AC or High Voltage AC (Alternating Current) and High Voltage DC (Direct Current). The selection criteria of cable are totally depending upon route length, voltage, grid synchronization, and transmission capacity. For distances lesser than 80km or for a limited distance, AC would be the most economic technology ad for longer distances DC technology is used.

Submarine Power Cables are mostly used to transfer power with high voltage. These cables feature a concentric assembly of layers, including optical fibers, conductors, protective layers, and insulation. Submarine Power Cable has gain traction due to the global focus on environmental issues has led to an increase in demand for supporting renewable energy sources such as off-shore wind power. Additionally, oil and gas industries are replacing local generation on platforms with power feeding from the mainland.

Global Submarine Power Cable Market Overview

Growing offshore wind farms across the globe particularly in the European region is majorly fueling the growth of the Submarine Power Cable Market. Also, the growing expansion of offshore oil and gas industries and increasing investment from private and government coupled with stringent regulations for energy-efficient operations in the industry are boosting the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing inter-country transmission network for underwater electric supply has boosted the growth of the Submarine Power Cable Market.

Furthermore, growing concerns regarding grid stability and security due to peak load demand for power across the globe and an increase in fund flow to develop a sustainable electrical infrastructure for the integration of renewable systems are anticipated to accelerate the growth of the market. Moreover, rising per capita income, growing access to electricity, and rapid urbanization across the globe is the primary reason behind the growing demand for electricity. Thus, many energy generation companies are looking for renewable generation of electricity which fuels the growth of the Submarine Power Cable Market.

However, the requirement for a high frequency of maintenance and repair work for Submarine Power Cables is anticipated to hamper the growth of the Submarine Power Cable Market. Nevertheless, growing demand for offshore wind power and growing investment in the renewable generation of power in concern with the environment is expected to provide lucrative growth for Submarine Power Cable Market.
