Electricity supply has become a lifeline for the modern day living as well as industrial sector. Almost every operation in industrial manufacturing and processing, construction, power generation, and many other fields cannot be executed without a safe and uninterrupted supply of electricity. Different methods are used in nascent times to generate electricity which includes thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, a non-conventional method for generating power and nuclear power plants. However, one of the major concerns for the electricity network is to maintain the electric cables in hostile conditions such as high temperature, electromagnetic interference, ionizing radiation, moisture, oxidization, and others. Normal electric conductor cable is incapable of sustaining the aforesaid conditions. Consequently, mineral insulated cables are being increasingly preferred over conventional cables so as to overcome the aforementioned issues.
Mineral insulated cable is a copper conductor cable enclosed in either copper or stainless steel sheath. The intervening space between the conductor and sheath is filled with magnesium oxide, which acts as an insulator for the conductor. Magnesium oxide restricts any kind of foreign intervention with the copper conductors. Thus, any kind of oxidization, electric or thermal conduction and radiation interference are avoided, thereby ensuring optimum efficiency of these cables.
The rise in power generation capacity is the most significant factor fuelling the adoption of mineral insulated cables. These cables are capable of withstanding heavy electricity load with robust protective insulated sheet. This ensures seamless conduction of electricity with minimal possibilities of short-circuit and fire. Consequently, mineral insulated cables are extensively used in electricity supply network in nuclear power plants as well as industrial manufacturing & processing sectors. Apart from these, mineral insulated cables are also used in other applications such as fire protection equipment, oil & gas rigs, construction and several others.

The global mineral insulated cable market is segmented, based on the cladding material of the cable, into the following categories:
Copper and stainless steel are the two prime materials which are predominantly used for the cladding of the mineral insulating cables. In addition, other materials such as nickel, tantalum, platinum and inconel are also be used for cladding depending upon the end-use application. As of 2016, mineral insulated cable with copper cladding leads the overall mineral insulated cable market. Owing to a large number of merits such as easy availability, reliability, thermal conductivity, moisture resistance and cost effectiveness, copper remains the preferred the material for insulated cables. Additionally, copper cladding aids in preventing the electromagnetic interference and ionizing radiation from nuclear power plants. Finding its utility in a variety of applications such as power plants, fire equipment as well as in constructions application, the demand for copper cladding mineral insulated cable is expected to escalate even further in the coming years.
Mineral insulated cable with stainless steel cladding succeeds copper cladding, as of 2016 and is expected to retain its position in the coming years. Stainless steel cladding is used in applications having moist or damp environment. Due to good resistance to corrosion as well as better durability, stainless steel cladding mineral insulated cable is preferred in such location.
The global mineral insulated cable market is segmented, based on end-use application, into the following categories:
Mineral insulated cables have found a wide range of application across different sectors. Based on the end-use segment, manufacturing & processing, exhibits a strong growth in terms of revenue, as of 2016. Mineral insulated cables are used in kilns, furnaces, heat treatment equipment and processing industries where the cable is required to operate in high temperature and harsh environment. Food processing industries and chemical industries extensively use mineral insulated cable for electricity supply. With the steady growth in manufacturing and processing industry, the segment would continue dominating the market throughout the forecast period.
As of 2016, construction segment in residential and commercial application succeeds manufacturing & processing segment, in terms of revenue, of the mineral insulated market. Mineral insulated cables are used for devices such as smoke detectors, fire sprinkler system, generator cables and cables for elevators and escalators in both residential and commercial infrastructures. Capable of handling both single and three phase supply, mineral insulated cable are applied broadly in many areas of construction and commissioning of infrastructure.
Power plant segment for overall mineral insulated cables is expected to be the fastest growing throughout the forecast. Mineral insulated cables are immune to any kind of electromagnetic interference as well as ionizing radiations to the supply. Consequently, these cables are extensively applied in nuclear power plants and nuclear physics instruments. With the persistent growth in power generation and utilization of mineral insulated cables for power conduction, the demand for cables is expected to rise dynamically.
The global mineral insulated cable market has been segmented, on the basis of geographical regions, as per following regions and countries:
As of 2016, Asia Pacific contributes a major share in global mineral insulated cable market. Asia Pacific has a major concentration of manufacturing and processing, specifically in countries such as Japan, China, South Korea and India. Growing industries and increasing demand for power have resulted in more consumption of mineral insulated cables. Consequently, mineral insulated cable market exhibits consistent high in Asia Pacific. Another factor boosting the sales of mineral insulated cables is the presence of larger number of thermal and nuclear power plants in Asia Pacific. Due to its reliability and ability to withstand the hostile working environment, mineral insulated cable find their application in thermal and nuclear power plants. This has led to a holistic utilization of minerals insulated cables and thus uplifting the overall market considerably in Asia Pacific.
The Europe mineral insulated cable market succeeds Asia-Pacific in terms of revenue. The demand for mineral insulated cables is majorly governed by countries such as U.K., Germany, France and other Western Europe countries having a huge industrial sector. Strong industrial presence has created a demand for a reliable and rugged, medium for conducting electricity. The overall growth of mineral insulated cable market is expected to be consistent due to the increase in demand of cables for power plants and industries.
