The cable fault locator market size is projected to reach US$ 3.09 billion by 2031 from US$ 1.45 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.9% in 2023—2031.  The market growth is fueled by factors such as rising underground power grid infrastructure, and the need for cable installation and deployment is likely to remain a key cable fault locator market trend.

Cable Fault Locator Market Analysis

Cable faults can develop for a variety of reasons, including typical service aging, overvoltages, thermal overload, corrosion, and poor workmanship during shipment and installation. Obtaining effective equipment to discover and rectify issues as soon as feasible aids in minimizing downtime and associated expenditures. Across the globe, there is a vast underground and overhead cable infrastructure to support the evolving world. These cables support the transfer of electricity and data for critical applications. A variety of factors can cause cable damage. The most typical causes of faults include the end of service life, external factors, and faulty assembly. When these sorts of cable faults occur, the defective place must be identified as soon as possible and the fault corrected to reduce the duration of the failure. This drives the demand for equipment in the cable fault locator market.

Cable Fault Locator Market Overview

Underground cables have been frequently used because of their dependability and environmental concerns. To increase distribution system dependability, reliable identification of faulted segments is essential in order to reduce interruption time during the fault, i.e., to restore services by finding the faulted segment in a timely manner. An extensive search at a larger scale distance has been undertaken in the traditional method of finding a detector. This is inefficient and time-consuming. Not only is the manpower resource not being used, but the restoration time may vary depending on the accuracy of the outage information. This has been boosting the demand for equipment in the market. Moreover, the demand for this equipment has been on the rise among customers such as manufacturers of high-voltage equipment, utility companies, maintenance & service companies, the government, and the military, among others.
