COVID-19 Impact

"Decline In Trade And Disruptions In The Supply Chain Owing To Pandemic"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The global nonmetallic cable ladders market growth was affected severely by the pandemic which is reflected as a decline in trade on the downward curve. Whereas, the world was hit hard by a disaster when the pandemic around the globe started arbitrarily giving some manufacturing and supply chains to an unexpected halt which added up more to the delay of scheduled projects in several industries. All companies that could not financially cope with and uncertainty found it very difficult to continue infrastructure construction projects, such as those which wire ladders greater than 720 mm are among the components most used. Not only this, work restrictions and social distance imposed to stop the out-breaking of the deadly virus brought about labor shortages and distributional problems, hence, the production of nonmetallic cable ladders was reduced.

LATEST TRENDS

"Sustainability Drive Sparks Surge in Demand for Eco-Friendly Non-Metallic Cable Ladders"

The Trend of Cable Trays in the Environmental Non-metallic Sector at the Moment is The Escalation in Requirements for Environmental-friendly and Eco-customized Cable Hides. Because ecological sustainability and corporate social accountability are increasingly emphasized, it is revealed that there is a growing demand for cable which is made of recycled material or source which is renewable. While development firm is the driver for constant innovations in producing new materials and processes of manufacture that are friendly to the environment while at the same time maintaining the ability of the non-metallic cable ladders to operate well without encountering any problems.

NON-METALLIC CABLE LADDERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into FRP Cable Ladders, and PVC Cable Ladders.

• FRP Cable Ladders: The abbreviation ‘FRP’ stands for ‘Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic’. The cable ladders with FRP (Fiberglass reinforced plastic) content are custom-made using advanced composite technology in which are fiberglass strands embedded in the resin matrix. Fibreglass-reinforced polymer cable ladders show many benefits like high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to wet stability and also no conduction of electricity.

• PVC Cable Ladders: PVC PPV denotes Polyvinyl Chloride, and PVC cable ladders are made from that variegated thermoplastic polymer which is famous for its long life span and cheapness. The application of PVC cable ladders is appropriate for indoor and outdoor areas where the use of non-metallic solutions for cable management may be necessary. Corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, ultraviolet radiation (UV) stability and this quality make them applicable to any kind of surrounding.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized as IT and Telecom, Manufacturing, Energy & Utility, Oil and Gas, Mining

• IT and Telecom: In the IT and telecommunications industry, this class of non-metal cable ladders is commonly used for cable management in data centers, server rooms, and telephone communications rooms.

• Manufacturing: In the manufacturing industry, watertight or flexible and non-metallic cable ladders are employed for cable management on industrial floors, production lines, and factory walls. These cable ladders are used to carry the power cables, control cables and instrumentation of cables, in which way a secured and well-organized working atmosphere ensues.

• Energy & Utility: In the case of the electricity and water service provision industry, non-metallic cable ladders are in use for proper cable handling at power plants, substations and utility infrastructure projects. These cable strings help in supporting high-voltage power cables, and transmission lines, along with control cabling thus making it possible for efficient and reliable power distribution

• Oil and Gas: The process industry is an example of the oil and gas industry. Together with the installation of the non-metallic cable ladders for cable management, the above-plotted activities can be thought of as one of the gaps to be covered. It may be found on the offshore platforms, refineries and petrochemical facilities. Therefore, this kind of cable enables operations and monitoring functions in hazardous areas.
