The Europe cable joint market was valued at US$ 573.9 Million in 2020 and is expected to surpass US$ 801.2 Million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2021-2028), according to the Europe Cable Joint Market Report, By Type (Indoor and Outdoor), by Application (Power, Communication and Others), and by Country (U.K., Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Russia and Rest of Europe), published by Coherent Market Insights.
Increasing demand for high-speed internet connectivity, increasing fiber to home (FTTH) subscriber base, and growing investment in the telecommunication infrastructure sector, these are factors driving the market growth. This is attributed to the growing deployment of fiber optic cables for long-range communication and digital transformation in the telecom industry. The increasing data traffic in e-commerce, multimedia (voice, video, and data), and computer networks has led to increasing need for transmission medium that is capable of handling higher bandwidth of the information. This has created a lucrative opportunity for fiber optic cables in the market and in turn, increasing the demand for cable joints in Europe. Furthermore, increasing government rules & regulations, and investments to promote digitization and full connectivity in Europe is driving the cable joint market growth.
For instance, in June 2018, the European Parliament finalized the new telecom regulatory framework of the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) in order to improve the broadband coverage of all the European Union countries and emphasized Very High Capacity Networks (VHCNs) such as full-fiber network, fiber-to-the-distribution-point, and 5G networks. Moreover, the federal government in Germany also promoted the deployment of VHCN networks in the country. For instance, in 2017, the German government launched a gigabit initiative to build a gigabit network covering the whole country by 2025. Furthermore, in 2018, the United Kingdom government launched the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review in order to provide fiber access for 15 million homes by 2025 and cover entire population with 5G networks by 2027. Thus, governments in European countries are focusing on developing a high connectivity network in Europe, which is expected to increase the demand for cable joints in the market.
