Saudi Arabia Cables Market Synopsis
Saudi Arabia Cables Market is anticipated to experience growth during the forecast period. The growth in the cable market is mainly attributed to the increasing demand for telecommunications and data services in the kingdom, as well as advancements in technology that provide enhanced broadband connectivity. However, challenges such as high domestic bandwidth utilization rates and limited fibreoptic capacity are restraining the growth of the cable market in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, security concerns have also been reported to be a major restraint on investments in new cable networks by telecom operators.
According to 6Wresearch, the Saudi Arabia Cables Market size is expected to grow during 2022-2028. Saudi Arabia is a country in the Middle East with a population of over 30 million people. It has a rich natural resource base, including oil and gas reserves, but its economy is hampered by internal political conflicts and strict regulation of the banking and telecommunications sectors. The Saudi Cable industry has been in decline for many years due to the aforementioned reasons, but there are some signs that it may be on the rise again as more technologically advanced networks are being rolled out.
The Saudi Arabia Cables Market growth will be driven by the increasing demand for broadband and video services as well as cellular coverage. The government is also focusing on developing renewable energy sources, which will help increase the use of telecoms in rural and remote areas.
The demand for telecommunications infrastructure in the kingdom is growing rapidly due to the increasing population and the need for improved access to healthcare, education, and other essential services.
Amongst other factors, growing consumer spending and increasing business activities are contributing to the growth of the Saudi cable market. In addition, technological advancements are also fuelling this growth as they are providing enhanced connectivity and functionality across various platforms. Additionally, rising investments from foreign companies are also expected to drive this market growth.
There was a sharp decline in new investment commitments due to Covid-19. This has led to a decrease in global demand for cables from Saudi Arabia. In addition, there was an increase in prices for existing cables as manufacturers sought to recoup losses from Covid-19.
Overall, Covid-19 will have a significant impact on the Middle East cable market, reducing global demand and leading to increased prices for existing cables. This will disrupt investments and lead to reduced growth over the next few years.
There are three voltage types used in Saudi Arabia: high, medium, and low. These voltages correspond to the AC power in the Saudi Arabia.
High voltage is used for long distance transmission across deserts and mountains. It is also used in industrial areas, such as oil refineries, because it can travel through metal conduits more easily than other voltages. Medium voltage is used for domestic and commercial purposes. Low voltage is used in villages and small towns where there is not enough demand for high or medium voltage.
There are three different installation types for overhead cables in Saudi Arabia Cables Market share: underground, submarine, and aerial. Underground cables are the most common type in Saudi Arabia because they are cheaper and easier to install. Aerial cables are the least common type of cable in Saudi Arabia because they require more land to be covered, and they can be more expensive than other types of cables. Submarine cables are the rarest type of cable in Saudi Arabia because they are more expensive to install, but they offer better performance than aerial or underground cables.
The submarine cables market in Saudi Arabia is projected to be the one of the largest segment in terms of revenue during the forecast period, owing to increasing investments by telecom operators in this space. The submarine cables market was estimated to be worth $1 billion globally and is anticipated to grow during the forecast period.
The terrestrial cable market in Saudi Arabia is projected to grow at a lower rate than that of submarine cables, due to limited infrastructure availability and high installation costs for this type of cable network. However, this segment is expected to witness a growth due to rising broadband penetration rates and increasing demand for services such as video streaming, gaming and smart home applications. The end use segments covered under this category include corporate offices, residential areas and healthcare facilities.
Based on End User, the telecommunication segment holds the large share in the Saudi Arabia Cables Market revenue. Saudi Arabia's telecommunication sector is dominated by state-owned entities with around 90% market share and offers competitive prices for broadband services. However, these companies are struggling to cope with increased competition from nongovernmental operators (NGOs) and private players due to tightened regulations on telecoms infrastructure investment, spectrum allocation, roaming charges, etc.
