Analyst Perspective:

The growth of data centers and technology-driven industries propelled the need for power and control cables to ensure uninterrupted power supply and data transmission. The cables are crucial to maintain the functioning of critical infrastructure. As the demand for data storage and processing continues to rise, more data centers are being built. These facilities require extensive power and control cable systems to distribute electricity and manage various systems and equipment. Modern data centers are designed to accommodate high-power-density servers and equipment. This generates a huge scope for power cable systems capable of handling larger electrical loads safely and efficiently. Lately, several data centers have been installed. In June 2023, PT ST Telemedia Global Data Centers (Indonesia) or PT STT GDC Indonesia, a leading data center provider, officially launched its first data center facility, STT Jakarta 1, in Bekasi, Jawa Barat. The data center campus will support up to 72 megawatts (MW) of critical IT capacity, with STT Jakarta 1 supporting up to 19.5 MW. Additionally, in February 2023, AWS announced the AWS Modular Data Center for the US Department of Defense Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability. The installations of data centers with high power density and critical capacities require power cables. Therefore, the growing data center industry relies heavily on hardware offered by structured cabling market players to ensure reliable, efficient, and safe operations. As data centers evolve and expand, the demand for these structured cabling solutions is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

Market Overview:

A structured cabling system provides an infrastructure for telecommunications and serves a wide range of uses, such as transmitting data through a network or providing telephone service. In telecommunications, structured cabling is referred to as cabling infrastructure found in buildings that contain subsystems, such as optical cabling, twisted pair, patch cables, and others. Installers of structured cabling generally follow a set of standards when wiring data or voice communications for industrial, commercial, or residential spaces. The standards define how the technician is required to lay the cabling and how to patch the outlet into a network switch. The pandemic started a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate. While several enterprises have returned to the traditional ways of people working on-site, other enterprises have continued with remote working. Additionally, the rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation have led to a massive rise in data generation. Such factors have led to tremendous growth in the IT and telecommunications industry, boosting the requirement for structure cabling, and promoting structured cabling market growth.
