Description

This study examines the global power cables industry, analyzing demand drivers, growth trends, and competitive dynamics. Key drivers identified in the study include the continued growth in renewable electricity generation (particularly offshore wind), the aging nature of infrastructure in developed economies, the rise of inter-regional transmission connections, greater access to electricity, extreme weather events, and the conversion of overhead to underground cabling. These drivers are partially offset by restraints such as budgetary constraints, challenges with land acquisition and planning approvals, and slow decision-making. But overall, the growth story for the industry is very strong. Revenues are forecast to increase from $119.5 billion in 2025 to reach $216.8 billion in 2035, making it the largest single component in grid investment over the forecast period. Overhead transmission will account for the largest share of total revenues, as overall project costs will be considerably lower, while underground transmission will grow faster. Subsea will be a smaller overall segment, mainly driven by the adoption of offshore wind.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
