Aluminum Conductors Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2026
Aluminum
conductors are used to transmit electricity across the grid. Copper
and aluminum have been used to transmit electricity from the point of
generation to the point of consumption. Aluminum conductors are used
to transfer electricity by overhead power lines. There can be several
conductor wires, usually without insulation, used to transmit power.
Aluminum conductors are suspended above the ground via pylons or
towers. Several small wires are coiled around each other which
collectively create a conductor. The diameter of these conductors
vary depending upon the electricity that needs to be transferred.

Report Overview @
Copper
is a superior conductor of electricity as compared to aluminum. The
relative conductivity of aluminum to copper is only 61% on volume
basis. However, based on weight, aluminum can conduct twice i.e. 200%
more electricity than copper. Therefore, when it comes to
transferring large amounts of electricity, aluminum is an economical
alternative. Aluminum weighs 30% as that of equal volume of copper.
Aluminum conductors more preferred, as these significantly reduces
construction cost of pylons due to lower strength required. Aluminum
has low density, the sag created by its own weight is lesser and
hence, the distance between two pylons can be extended. These factors
make aluminum conductors a preferred choice for electricity transfer.
Aluminum
Conductors Market: Drivers & Restraints
Rising
electrification rate in developing economies such as India and China
is a key driver for the aluminum conductors market. The extension of
existing electricity grid to supply large amounts of electricity is
propelling the demand for aluminum across the world. Increase in
industrialization and urbanization also drives the demand for
aluminum conductors across the globe. Another key driver for the
aluminum conductor market is the demand for replacement of old
electricity grids. Earlier, aluminum conductors with steel cores were
used to strengthen conductor wires; however, over the last few years,
these steel cores have undergone severe corrosion and need
replacements. This is driving demand for aluminum conductors market.
Furthermore, developed nations in Europe are focusing on converting
their overhead electricity grids to underground grids. This is
projected to increase the demand for aluminum conductors market in
the near future.
Aluminum
Conductors Market: Key Segments
Based
on type, the global aluminum conductors market can be segmented into
all aluminum conductor (AAC), all aluminum alloy conductor (AAAC),
aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR), aluminum conductor
aluminum-alloy reinforced (ACAR), and others. AAAC conductors is a
leading segment of the aluminum conductors market in several regions.
In terms of transmission type, the aluminum conductors market can be
bifurcated into underground and overhead. Currently, the aluminum
conductors market share of the overhead segment is substantial.
However, the share of the underground segment is anticipated increase
during the forecast period. Based on current rating, the aluminum
conductors market can be divided into up to 200A, 201A to 750A, and
751A and above.
Aluminum
Conductors Market: Regional Outlook
In
terms of region, the global aluminum conductors market can be
segregated into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America,
and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is a major region of the
aluminum conductors market, followed by North America. Demand for
aluminum conductors is high in new installations in Asia Pacific due
to the rise in electrification and urbanization. However, aluminum
conductors are extensively used as replacements in developed
countries such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the U.K.
