Cable Blowing Equipment Market Trends

5G Technology Trend and Growing Telecommunication Investment to Bolster Market Growth

5G technology has a significant impact on the telecom industry, which is expected to upsurge the capacity and network efficiency that enables massive data streaming and AI usage. However, the modern 5G technology requires high-cost infrastructure, technical expertise, and high security risks. Cable blowing machines are an important asset to the telecom sector. They offer cost-effectiveness and have extended the potential of 5G technology by laying underground optical cable. These machines enable faster installation of fiber optic cables by navigating through complex pathways. They can be routed through conduits, even if they have bends, obstacles, and multiple branches. Hence, post-pandemic, 5G technological trend and investment across telecommunication businesses for faster installation of optical cable and low network latency have expanded cable blowing equipment market size progressively.

• For instance, in September 2022, Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw, telecom minister of India, announced USD 30 billion for the last mile connectivity of 4G and 5G connectivity in rural areas. The government had tested this model and approximately 80,000 connections were facilitated every month.

Cable Blowing Equipment Market Growth Factors

Dominant Optical Fiber Installation for Better Connectivity to Drive Market Growth

Optical fiber installation is the backbone of cable blowing business as the majority of new projects and installation of telecom networks for better connectivity are dominating cable blowing equipment industry. Optical fiber has dominated the global telecommunication and networking market due to its faster data streaming and low latency. Cable blowing equipment in the telecom industry enables optical fiber installation for a longer distance in a single go and in a more faster way. It enables working with cables in a more flexible way and navigate cables to tighter bends and can accommodate more dense fiber cables in smaller conduits. Thus, dominant fiber installation in the communication industry for better conductivity is expected to drive cable blowing equipment market growth in the long term.

• For instance, in February 2024, Nexfibre, a joint venture of (Liberty Global, Infravia, and Telefónica), a prominent Fibre to the Home (FTTH) access provider, announced an investment of USD 1.26 billion to expand the network access to 23 lakh homes internet access by 2026.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limitations in Compatibility and Adaptability of Cable Blowing to Restraint Market Growth

Cable blowing is highly dependent on the optical fiber installation business as it minimizes installation time and has significant advantages over traditional installation. However, cable jetting or blowing has limitations, based on many criteria, such as the type of cables, conduit materials, and the place of installation. Companies operating in the segment have to assess the feasibility of cable jetting for a specific project and installation. This limits the application of cable blowing across the industry.

Cable Blowing Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis

By Tube Diameter Analysis

Increasing Rate of Cable Blow Adoption to Drive the Dominance of Large 12-63 mm Tube

Based on tube diameter, the cable blowing market is studied for three major tube diameters that include 3 - 16 mm, 7 - 12 mm, and 12 - 63 mm.

Large size tube 12-63 mm in diameter is the dominant cable tube deployed by blowing, owing to their heavy usage in telecommunication and broadband line service providers. Large size cable tubes are a prime choice for the service operators, as they offer more flexibility for the telecommunication operators to easily upgrade from the existing bandwidth and old optical fibers. Also, frequent changing of the wire and required underground internet to protect from weather and harsh conditions are expected to expand cable jetting potential in long term.

Additionally, tubes with diameter 7-12 are growing with the highest CAGR, owing to technological upgradation of the optical fiber and getting more thinner over time. These thin glass fibers are developed to provide high internet speed and low latency to the network service providers and commercial network handlers.

Furthermore, stable demand for thin cable wires of tube diameter 3-12 mm in the electrical industry and other commercial zones is expected to expand cable blowing market share in the long term.

By Motor Type Analysis

Rise in the Demand for Pneumatic Motor Blowing Owing to Easy Installation to Bolster Its Segment Growth

Based on motor type, the market is studied for following categories, such as pneumatic motor, electric motor, and other motor (hydraulic motors, etc.).

Pneumatic motor type cable blowing is expected to dominate the share of the global cable blowing equipment market size, owing to its easy and safe operation. The pneumatic motor cable blowers use an aero piston, which is attached to the cable and ensures safety while moving in the forward direction. This makes the cable pass through the conduit and bend easily and in a faster way. Also, the pneumatic system allows minimal usage of electricity and a lesser chance of leakage compared to hydraulic motors.

Additionally, electric motor cable blowing is expected to grow at a progressive pace due to its easy portability and better fit for the conduits, such as ducts and small areas.

Followed by them, hydraulic motor cable blowing is set to lose its hold on the market due to competitive advantages of other blowing machines, such as portability, faster installation, and safety.
