The growth of the data center industry and the rising demand for high-speed communication solutions are the main drivers influencing the structured cabling market. The structured cabling industry is also driven by the increased need for structured cabling brought on by technological developments. The development of wireless communication networks, however, limits market expansion. Contrarily, the growth of the IT and telecom industries and the rise in investment in the Asia-Pacific region are anticipated to drive the market for the industry.
The massive growth in internet services along with reductions in the cost of bandwidth demands deployment of advanced cabling solutions. Future broadband applications will foster a higher demand for high-density space utilization, reliable data transfer services and reduced provisioning interval. The increasing demand for high performance and expandability from data center supplements the market growth for structured cabling.
The transition from 10Gb/s to 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s and the ensuing rise in virtualization and cloud computing requirements have left data centers today struggling with significant bandwidth capacity issues. High-quality cabling solutions are being utilized to provide stability, decrease air gaps and reflections, and reduce insertion loss in response to the growing requirement to cut costs, interference, noise, and installation time.
Advanced structured cabling solutions are being launched by market players to perform better in challenging environments and provide stability to ensure uninterrupted transmission. Cabling systems are being designed to address significant space, energy and cooling constraints to enhance performance.
Copper cabling solutions are used in data centers owing to benefits such as low capital expenditures, reduced operational expenditures, enhanced reliability, and improved performance. Copper cables transfer data at high bandwidth and are capable of functioning with less power and less amount of cooling owing to their thermal design. The use of optical cable is expected to increase during the forecast period. Optical cables are thinner, lighter and offer higher data transmission rates. Optical cables are lighter in weight with smaller bend radius, which provide enhanced flexibility for data center configuration.
The COVID-19 epidemic has severely impacted the electronics and semiconductor industry. Due to a rise in COVID-19 cases, businesses and manufacturing facilities throughout many nations have been shut down. Also, a partial or whole lockout has disrupted the worldwide supply chain, making it difficult for businesses to reach customers. The global economy and society are both being impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. This outbreak's effects are becoming more severe day by day, and they are also having an effect on world commerce as a whole. Because of the crisis, the stock market is unclear, which in turn causes a decline in corporate confidence, a significant slowdown in the supply chain, and an upsurge in consumer concern.
