Electrical Conduit Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global electrical conduit market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.40% during the period 2025-2034. The market is expected to be driven by growing demand for energy, increasing urbanization and infrastructure development activity, innovative solutions, and increased focus on and growth of energy efficient buildings. North America, Europe and Asia are expected to be key markets.

Global Market Likely to be Driven by Increasing Demand for Energy and Innovative Solutions

Growth in population has increased the need for construction and infrastructure development activities, including commercial and residential buildings. Such development has increased the demand for power generation, and power transmission and distribution material and accessories. These factors are expected to drive the market.

An electrical conduit is a duct, tube or pipe made of plastic or metal in which electrical wires are encased and routed. Common types of electrical conduits used for residential and commercial lighting include:

Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) – This is a common type of unbending conduit, generally made of galvanized steel or aluminium. This tube is commonly referred to as a thin-walled conduit because it is lighter and thinner than rigid metal conduit (RMC). While EMT may also be rigid, it may be readily bent with the help of a tube bender.

Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) – This thick wall conduit is made of galvanized steel or aluminium. While RMC is expensive, it offers extra strength and durability.

Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) – This conduit is thicker than EMT but thinner than RMC. The weight of IMC also falls between that of EMT and RMC. IMCs are generally made of steel, and may be coated.

Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) – This conduit has a spiral construction, and is very flexible. This flexibility enables FMC to go through walls and other structures.

Liquid-tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC) – LFMC is a special type of flexible metal conduit employed where flexibility or protection from liquids, vapours or solids is required.

Electrical Non-Metallic Tubing- (ENT) – This is a thin-walled, flexible, corrugated conduit. It can be bent without the help a special device. However, these are usually snap-in connections and not watertight. However, liquid-tight flexible non-metallic condensate (LFNC) may be used in environments where there is moisture.

Rigid PVC Conduit – Rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduit is similar to plastic plumbing pipes and installed with plastic fittings that may be glued. The assembly can be watertight as conduit tubing and fittings are glued together. PVC enables underground applications. Further, it may be used in environments that cause rust.

Prewired Conduits Enabling Faster and Safer Installation Likely to Stimulate the Global Electrical Conduit Market

In the electrical installations segment, there is greater preference for prewired conduits for quicker, easier and safer installation, especially in markets where labour costs are high. Thus, prewired conduits are expected to witness greater demand.

High Quality, Innovative Solutions Expected to Boost Market Growth

Several customers prefer customized electrical installation solutions. Indeed, cables for even everyday appliances such as dishwashers may be pre-planned. Such solutions assume greater significance where there is shortage of skilled labour, and enable quicker installations and save significant time and money. Leading companies today offer innovative, pre-planned solutions to meet customer needs. For example, the Preflex Spider (by Pipelife) helps electricians save considerable time. Preflex Spider is an innovative system solution with the special feature that the electrical installation is prefabricated according to a digital design. The system comprises flexible, pre-wired electro conduits that need only be rolled out and connected at the site. Thus, the entire building may be wired efficiently and without any loose cables and devices spread around. Such innovative solutions are expected to contribute to the growth of the global electrical conduit market.
