Quick company reference (major HVDC-cable suppliers & values)
Prysmian Group — Group sales €17,026 million (2024); world’s largest cable maker with major HVDC orders/backlog (SuedLink, North Sea projects, large acquisition activity).
Nexans — Standard sales ~€7.1 billion (2024); large grid/HV orders and strategic investments in electrification and HV subsea projects.
NKT A/S — Revenue ≈ €2,489 million (2024, std. metal prices); record operational performance in 2024 driven by high-voltage cable projects.
Other important players: LS Cable & System, Sumitomo Electric, Furukawa, Hengtong / ZTT Group, TBEA — these firms are active in HVDC/HV cable and subsea segments and together with Prysmian/Nexans/NKT form the global supply base.
(Note: most cablemakers report overall group revenues — they do not break out HVDC-only revenues publicly; the numbers above are company totals to indicate scale and market position.)
Market size & recent development (summary numbers)
Market size (selected estimates for 2024): reports cluster between ~USD 11–15 billion for the broader HVDC/HV cables market in 2024 (examples: USD 14.8B — Strategic Market Research; USD 11.27B — Maximize; USD ~14B — MarketsandMarkets). Forecast CAGRs commonly reported ~5–7% to 2030, with some subsea HVDC reports showing higher CAGR for that niche.
High-profile recent developments: completion / commissioning of major interconnectors (e.g., Viking Link operational Dec 2023), and large supply agreements (national TSO contracts in Europe reserving cable capacity and award packages to Prysmian/Nexans/NKT). These contracts and project pipelines are material drivers of demand.
Recent Development (industry highlights)
Large offshore wind and interconnector rollouts in Europe (TenneT, RTE, National TSOs) triggered multi-hundred-million to multi-billion euro cable orders in 2023–2025; manufacturers scaled capacity and signed long supply contracts.
Strategic M&A and capacity moves (example: Prysmian’s Encore Wire deal and record backlog figures) to capture growing electrification demand.
Drivers
Massive growth in offshore wind & long-distance renewables transmission — need HVDC subsea/underground links to connect offshore arrays and long point-to-point links.
Grid interconnection and cross-border transfer projects (energy sharing, security of supply).
Technical advances (XLPE 525 kV, P-Laser and other insulation tech) enabling higher capacity, lower losses and more recyclable cable systems.
Restraints
Long lead times & capacity bottlenecks — cable manufacture and HVDC installation require specialized factories and vessel capacity; constrained supply can delay projects or increase prices.
Commodity price volatility & capex intensity — copper/steel and vessel costs plus heavy investment in factory capacity affect margins and project economics.
Project complexity / regulatory permitting — subsea routing, environmental approvals and cross-jurisdiction coordination slow project delivery.
Regional segmentation analysis
Europe — largest near-term demand from offshore wind and interconnectors (major TSO contracts in France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia). Supply contracts (Prysmian, Nexans, NKT) and domestic production capacity are concentrated here.
Asia-Pacific — fast CAGR driven by long-distance renewables, large grid upgrades (China, South Korea, Japan) and regional HV projects; strong local manufacturers (Hengtong, ZTT, LS, Sumitomo).
North America — accelerating demand under infrastructure and clean-energy policies (grid upgrades, interregional links); producers increasing N.A. footprint (acquisitions, plant expansions).
Latin America / MEA — opportunistic projects (interconnections, major renewables) but more uneven demand and financing constraints.
Emerging trends
Higher-voltage XLPE cables (525 kV and beyond) and novel insulation (P-Laser) to push capacity and reduce losses.
Modular approach and digitalization — condition monitoring, digital twins for cable assets, and improved joint/connectors.
Shift to on-shore underground HVDC corridors in densely populated markets to reduce visual/land use impacts (e.g., Germany’s SuedLink/SuedOstLink).
Top use cases
Offshore wind farm export cables (subsea HVDC links) — large capacity export from remote offshore arrays.
Long-distance point-to-point transmission (onshore HVDC) — interregional bulk transfer with lower losses.
Cross-border interconnectors to balance markets and share reserves.
Urban underground HVDC corridors to relieve congested AC grids and integrate large producers/loads.
Major challenges
Scarcity of installation vessels & skilled installers for subsea cable lay — can become the critical path for delivery.
Financing & counterparty risk for very large projects — multi-billion € projects need stable contracts and long lead times.
Quality control and reliability over decades — failure or repair of subsea HVDC is extremely costly and disruptive.
Attractive opportunities
Factory & capacity expansion in Europe / APAC — long order books justify new lines for HVDC subsea and XLPE insulated cables.
Turnkey HVDC system integration (cable + converter + O&M) — integrators that offer full lifecycle services can capture more value.
Niche supply for ultra-high-voltage / recyclable cable systems — sustainable cable designs and circularity can be a differentiator for bids.
Key factors of market expansion
Scale-up of offshore wind & interconnection project pipeline (Europe, Asia, North America).
Increasing converter and cable technology maturity (higher voltage, XLPE) — lowers LCoE of long-distance transmission.
Policy & financing support for grid modernization (national TSOs and green-grid contracts).
Reduced supply-chain bottlenecks (new plants, more laying vessels) — enables delivery of large project pipelines.
