The expanding renewable energy sector, including wind and solar power is propelling the market growth. In line with this, the escalating demand for control cables to monitor and manage solar panels and wind turbines is anticipated to bolster the market forward. For example, Implenia and WindWorks Jelsa have signed an investment and shareholder contract to develop a state-of-the-art facility for the assembly and production of large concrete or steel structures for floating offshore wind turbines on the west coast of Norway.
Similarly, esVolta, a utility-scale storage developer, announced the completion of a $185 Million senior secured credit facility that provides esVolta with access to additional development capital and credit support to protect requirements mainly relating to power purchase agreements, interconnection, and equipment deposits.
Infrastructure Development
The rising infrastructure development projects globally, such as the building of transportation systems, bridges, facilities, etc., are stimulating the market forward. Moreover, the widespread adoption of control cables for cranes, elevators, and automated systems is also catalyzing the global market. For example, the ARGE IBD, comprising the partners Bernasconi, Implenia (lead), and De Luca, was given the contract for lot 2, “Tunnel Ligerz,” by the SBB for constructing a 2.1 km long double-track tunnel, around 1,850 m of which was built using mining methods and around 250 m employing open-cast mining, such as concrete cladding and railway technology.
Additionally, Geneva Airport in Switzerland officially inaugurated its new East Wing after more than a decade of design and construction.
The market is also being driven by increasing investments and capacity expansions:

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a control cables manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Control cables manufacturing requires raw materials such as high-tensile steel wire, PVC or other plastics, and zinc alloy or other materials for any necessary fittings like lugs or ferrules. Additional materials may include copper or aluminum for conductors, and specific compounds to add properties like flame retardance, sunlight resistance, or oil resistance.
A control cables factory typically requires wire drawing machines, stranding/bunching machines, and extruders. Essential equipment also includes coiling machines, various testing machines, and specialized tools like die casting and spring winding machines.
The main steps generally include:
Conductors wire drawing and annealing process
Conductor stranding for flexibility and strength
Insulation extrusion over conductor wires
Core assembly and color identification
Inner sheathing or bedding application
Armoring with steel wire or tape
Outer sheath extrusion and final testing
Packaging, storage, and distribution
