The large usage of armored fiber patch cables as the alternative to the conventional copper cables used for the network connectivity in the buildings is expected to positively drive the market growth owing to the growing infrastructural developments. For instance, as per the Australian Infrastructure and Transport statistical report, in the fiscal year 2020-21, the Australian infrastructure industries accounted for around 8.6 percent of the country’s GDP. Thus, the rising usage of armored fiber patch cable especially in infrastructural networking applications is anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Additionally, the growing demand for lightweight vehicles among the population is anticipated to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period owing to the usage of patch cables in internal vehicle electronics. For instance, as per the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, in May 2019, the global sales of lightweight vehicles were around 17.385 million units. Thus, the increasing adoption of armored fiber patch cable in vehicles for applications such as communications, lighting, and sensing requirements is estimated to fuel the industry’s growth. In the context of the region, Asia Pacific is expected to contribute to the armored fiber patch cable market share. The factors like increased expenditures on the development of innovative products, emphasis on networking within the expanding commercial institutions, and growing data server farms in the Asia Pacific region.
Market Dynamics:
The armored fiber patch cable is the latest version of fiber patch cable. The outer sleeve of the patch cable is prepared of plastics, such as polyethylene, which aids in the protection against abrasions and also prevents it from being stretched during the cable installation. The fiber patch cable is provided directly under the armored inner sleeve (the protective and flame retardant material the bundle support) to help in shedding the layer for merging the cable to terminators or connectors.
Driver:
The growing infrastructural usage of the cables along long floors especially in laboratories and commercial spaces for the increased demand for high-speed network connectivity systems is the major driver that fuels the growth of the armored fiber patch cable market statistics. Additionally, the increased adoption of patch cables especially in the automotive and electrical industry due to properties such as high tensile strength and protection against rodents, abrasions, and other environmental factors also boosts the market growth.
Restraint:
The surging adoption of smart technological innovations restricts the growth of the industry owing to the growing adoption of wireless and smart connectivity among devices. Additionally, the emergence of the internet of things has also hampered the market growth during the projected period due to the risks of physical failure of the wired network cables and feasibility concerns in terms of connecting multiple devices through the wired network cables.
Opportunity:
The growing rate of data and network transmission among large data servers combined with the rising emergence of the 5G revolution within infrastructural systems are anticipated to create profitable opportunities for industry growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the large adoption of surveillance networks or IP cameras within the infrastructural development is also estimated to create lucrative opportunities for market growth due to the high demand for multimode and double-stranded patch cables.
COVID-19 Impact:
The armored fiber patch cable market has been substantially impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in different parts of the world. The factors such as limited production of cables due to a shortage of raw materials, logistics restrictions, manufacturing facilities closures, and the economic slowdown are the major effects of COVID-19 which hindered market growth. Additionally, product shipments were majorly impacted during the initial lockdown due to the stringent government lockdown rules and fear of the disease spread. However, the conditions have stabilized and as a result, it is ascertained that COVID-19’s overall impact on the industry is moderate. Post COVID-19, there was a positive impact on the market growth owing to the increased infrastructural development and establishment of large server farms.

Market Segmentation:
By Type
The type segment is divided into single-mode fiber patch cable and multi-mode fiber patch cable. The single-mode fiber patch cable segment is expected to contribute the largest revenue share during the forecast period. The factors such as the large data transmission capacity of around 40GB over hundreds of kilometers/miles with reduced integrity loss, the unrestricted bandwidth capacity, and decreased need for routers or switches for faster transmissions along large distances are expected to support the growth of single-mode fiber patch cable segment. Furthermore, the multi-mode fiber patch cable segment is also anticipated to register the fastest CAGR growth in terms of volume owing to the easy maintenance and operability, reduced data losses over multiple bends and radius of the cable length, and low-cost alternative as compared to other types of patch cables.
By Application
The application segment is bifurcated into networking, and non-networking. The networking segment is expected to contribute the largest share of over 35.2% during the forecast period. The factors such as an ideal alternative to copper cabling in terms of high networking speed and large capacity coupled with the connection of multiple devices within a network due to reduced risks of data transmission failures during a power outage are anticipated to support the growth of the networking segment. Further, the non-networking segment is also estimated to contribute a significant share to the growth of armored fiber patch cable market statistics owing to the high usage for short-distance wiring closets in the infrastructures such as commercial, residential, IT and networks, and healthcare combined with the transmission of audio, video, and telephone signals in non-networked applications such as microphones and headphones.
By End Use
The end-user segment is categorized into industrial, IT & network security, enterprise, and others. The IT & network security segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR growth of over 16.1% during the forecast period. The factors such as reduced costs of maintenance, increased need for faster and reliable transmission of signals among multiple devices on a single network and reduced risks of physical compromise are expected to support the growth of the IT & network security segment. Moreover, the industrial segment is also estimated to witness substantial growth during the forecast period owing to the high resistance to extreme temperatures, sunlight, and oil, the low-cost installation of mechanical connectors, and the great tolerance against chemical solvents and lubricants majorly used in the industrial processes.
