Description
The global Superconducting Coaxial Cable market size is predicted to grow from US$ 175 million in 2025 to US$ 264 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Superconducting coaxial cable is a coaxial cable that uses superconducting materials as the central conductor or outer conductor. Its core advantage lies in utilizing the zero resistance effect of superconducting materials to achieve low loss and high efficiency in signal transmission, and has strong resistance to electromagnetic interference.
The main drivers of superconducting coaxial cable market include:
1. Requirements for technical upgrades: an inevitable choice for high-frequency, high-speed, and low-loss transmission
5G/6G and data center drivers
The demand for high bandwidth and low latency transmission of 5G networks has prompted fiber and multi-antenna technologies (such as Massive MIMO) to become the mainstream, but in high-frequency bands (such as millimeter waves), optical fiber losses are high, while superconducting coaxial cables can achieve low-loss and high-fidelity signal transmission with their zero resistance characteristics.
The demand for high-speed and low-latency transmission in the internal interconnection of data centers has increased, and superconducting cables have shown advantages in short-distance and large-capacity data transmission. For example, in quantum computing, extremely low-temperature superconducting coaxial cables have become the core component connecting quantum chips and measurement and control systems.
Breakthrough in quantum computing technology
Quantum computing requires extremely low temperature environments (near absolute zero degrees), traditional cables have severe performance degradation at low temperatures, while superconducting coaxial cables (such as NbTi alloy cables below 4K) can meet the needs of high-fidelity signal transmission. The global coaxial cable market size for quantum computing is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan in 2025, directly driving the demand for superconducting cables.
2. Policy support: Global strategic layout promotes industrialization
National level capital investment
US: The Department of Energy allocates about US$380 million per year for superconducting materials research and development, focusing on supporting practicality; the National Science Foundation has established the "Quantum Leap Challenge Institute" to focus on superconducting qubit technology.
China: The 14th Five-Year Plan lists superconducting technology as a strategic emerging industry, and the National Key R&D Plan special investment of "Key Scientific Issues for Transformational Technologies" exceeds 1.2 billion yuan to support the research and development of high-temperature superconducting materials.
Japan: The government-enterprise research and collaboration model, the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Technology has compiled a budget of 20 billion yen per year, supporting projects such as superconducting magnetic levitation trains and superconducting cables; the University of Tokyo and Sumitomo Electrical Cooperation Project received ten-year funding.
EU: invest 2 billion euros through the "Horizon Europe" plan to promote the development of superconducting materials and devices; the EcoSwing superconducting fan project led by Vision Energy has received a 100 million yuan funding, with the goal of reducing the cost of wind power kilowatt-hours by more than 30%.
Local supporting policies
Anhui Province in China provides five-year rent-free and equipment purchase subsidies to overseas superconducting research teams settled in Hefei Science Island; the South Korean government implements the "Superconductive Technology 2030 Roadmap", and plans to invest 1.2 trillion won within ten years to break through the second generation of high-temperature superconducting strip mass production technology.
3. Energy efficiency requirements: Zero resistance characteristics drive the energy-saving revolution
Reduced power transmission loss
Superconducting cables achieve zero resistance transmission in the liquid nitrogen temperature zone (77K) or liquid helium temperature zone (4.2K), and the power loss is approaching zero. For example, after the power grid of a city in China uses superconducting cables, the transmission loss is reduced by 70%, significantly improving energy utilization efficiency.
In long-distance transmission scenarios, the current carrying capacity of superconducting cables is 50-500 times that of copper wires of the same size, which can greatly reduce the number of transmission lines, save land resources and reduce electromagnetic pollution.
Carbon neutrality target drive
Under the global trend of energy conservation and emission reduction, superconducting cables have become a key technology for the grid connection of smart grids and renewable energy. For example, superconducting energy storage systems can smooth out wind power and photovoltaic output fluctuations and improve grid stability; the EcoSwing superconducting fan project funded by the EU aims to reduce the weight of the fan by 40% and reduce the cost of kilowatt-hours of electricity by 30%.
4. Replace traditional cable requirements: economic turning point for long-distance and large-capacity transmission
Cost-effectiveness highlights
Traditional cables (such as copper cables) suffer significant losses during long-distance transmission, such as telephone cables with a diameter of 0.4mm are 1.64dB (800Hz) per kilometer, while superconducting cable losses are negligible. Although superconducting cables have high initial investment (such as the price of a single cable below 4K is US$3,000), their full life cycle costs (including operation and maintenance, energy consumption) are already competitive.
In national projects such as "West-to-East Power Transmission", superconducting cables can replace traditional high-voltage DC transmission, reduce line losses and increase transmission capacity.
High-frequency band transmission supplementary scheme
Fiber losses in high frequency bands (such as terahertz) increase dramatically, while superconducting coaxial cables can be combined with terahertz technology to support the ultra-high bandwidth requirements of 6G communications. For example, the research team is developing a superconducting terahertz mixer with frequency coverage above 1 THz.
5. Scientific research and industrial application expansion: the leap from laboratory to industrialization
Quantum computing and controlled nuclear fusion
Superconducting cables are the core components of quantum computers (such as IBM, Google’s 1000+ qubit systems) and nuclear fusion devices (such as the ITER project), and demand grows rapidly with technological breakthroughs.
The adiabatic quantum flux parametric transformer developed by Japan realizes the multiplexing of single cable 1,000 signal. Although it introduces 20ns delay, it is suitable for non-real-time control scenarios, promoting the development of superconducting cables towards high-density integration.
Medical and military penetration
Medical equipment: Superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment is upgraded to 7T and above field strength to improve diagnostic accuracy; superconducting cables are used in medical accelerators to reduce energy loss.
Military radar: The anti-electromagnetic interference capability and high current carrying capacity of superconducting cables meet the needs of high-power radar systems.
The market drivers of superconducting coaxial cables show a triple overlapping effect of "technology-policy-demand". With the rapid development of quantum computing, 5G/6G, smart grid and other fields, as well as the advancement of global carbon neutrality goals, superconducting cables are moving from laboratories to large-scale applications and becoming the core competitive track for the next generation of transmission media.
