Straits Research published a report, “Cable Assembly Market Size & Outlook, 2026–2034”. According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 183.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 309.8 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
Factors contributing to the growth of the cable assembly market include increasing demand for high-speed data transmission in telecommunications, data centers, and industrial automation. Increasing demand for 5G networks, cloud computing, and smart manufacturing technologies is driving a surge in demand for cable assemblies that can deliver a wide range of advanced capabilities supporting high bandwidth and signal integrity. The proliferation of electric vehicles and autonomous systems further accelerates the use of specialty power and signal cable assemblies within automotive and mobility infrastructures.
Several government initiatives to strengthen digital connectivity and build up the levels of broadband penetration in countries such as the U.S., India, China, and the European Union bolster the growth of this market. Investment in next-generation infrastructure, such as smart city development and renewable energy grids, is seen as another cause for deployment in fiber-optic and hybrid cable assemblies. Innovation opportunities exist for manufacturers due to further advances in high-frequency interconnect technologies and rugged designs for harsh environments; these enable them to further develop and extend their portfolio in emerging application domains.
