Submarine Data Cables Market – A Comprehensive Assessment Of Current Dynamics And Emerging Avenues

Submarine data cables are the cables used for communication in offshore projects, such as oil & gas fields and wind farms. They are also employed in data centers located in various parts of the world. Over the last decade, there has been rise in offshore oil and gas exploration and extraction, installation of offshore wind farms, and development of telecommunication infrastructure.
Due to high demand for submarine data cables, several private companies and multilateral development banks are investing in the global market for submarine data cables. Increased demand for Internet connectivity presents a significant opportunity for the global submarine data cables market.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization in developing countries has led to rise in the demand for Internet connectivity, which is a key driver of the global submarine data cables market. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, household incomes and spending capacity in developing countries have increased. This is driving the submarine data cables market in these countries.
Increased investments by private companies in the submarine data cables market is another driver of the global market. Companies such as Google Inc., Facebook, Inc., and Microsoft are heavily investing in the market. For instance, Google Inc. invested around US$ 42 Bn from 2016 to 2018 in the installation of new submarine data cables with the total length of around 112,000 kilometers.
Installation of submarine data cables requires highly advance technology and specialized equipment, which increases the project cost. High initial investments is a major restraint of the global submarine data cables market.
