Global Extra High Voltage (EHV) Cables market reached USD 39.8 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow up to USD 53.7 billion by 2030 it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period ranging between 2025 and 2030.

EHV cables are specially designed to transmit power at high voltages ranging between 230 kV to 1000 kV typically comprise a insulation and conductor. Their high-capacity electricity transmission property makes them suitable for enduring voltages over 220 kV during power transmission. These cables play a major role in transmitting power over a long distance. These cables are high in demand where higher energy efficacy and grid stability  are required as well as for integrating renewable energy. The market is poised for robust growth during the forecast period as there is rising investment in the power generation and transmission sector. Significant developments in insulation materials, technology and installation methods and government initiatives to stabilize power grids in developing regions adds fuel to market growth. The growing demand for electricity all over the world is the major factor that drives the growth of the global Extra High Voltage (EHV) Cables market. The growth of the market is primarily hindered by the lengthy approvals causing delay in deployment, strict regulatory requirements, growing environmental concerns. Difficulties in cable maintenance, especially for submarine and underground installations, add to the cost and operational challenges, there by impeding market growth.
