South Africa Wire & Cable Market (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involves two major activities in estimating the current size of the wire & cable market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to determine the extent of market segments and sub-segments.

Secondary Research

Secondary sources referred to for this research study include financial statements of companies offering wire & cable and information from various trade, business, and professional associations. Secondary research has been used to obtain critical information about the industry’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level and regional markets. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the wire & cable market, which was validated by primary respondents.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the wire & cable market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from wire & cable industry vendors; system integrators; component providers; distributors; and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to technology, application, vertical, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, CSOs, and installation teams of the customer/end users who are using the composites, were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, component providers, and their current usage of wire & cables and future outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.

Following is the breakdown of primary respondents:

Market Size Estimation:

The research methodology used to estimate the size of the wire & cable market includes the following details. The market sizing of the market was undertaken from the demand side. The market was upsized based on procurements and modernizations of wire & cables in different end-use industries at a regional level. Such procurements provide information on the demand aspects of the wire & cable industry for each application. For each application, all possible segments of the wire & cable market were integrated and mapped.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall wire & cable market size using the market size estimation processes as explained above, the market was split into several segments and sub-segments. To complete the whole market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides, mainly from different end-use industries. Along with this, the market size was validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Market Definition

Wires and cables are often used as two different terms but they represent two different electrical conduits. A wire is a single conductor that consists of an electrically conductive material, it can be aluminum or copper. This conductor can consist of a single strand or a number of strands bundled together and can be also bare or have a colored sheath. A cable is simply a collection of many numbers of conductors which are enclosed by some kind of insulation. Wire thickness is expressed in terms of the American Wire Gauge (AWG), which is a system of units of measurement based on the wire diameter. The smaller the number the wider the wire and the more amperage it can handle or conduct. AWG is primarily used for the definition of a single conductor with a single strand of metallic material but it can also be used for stranded and cable conductors.
