A global surge in electrification and digital expansion is set to drive the AC-DC cable assembly market to $11.39 billion by 2035, as industries race to meet rising energy and connectivity demands.
New projections show the market will grow from $6.30 billion in 2026, marking a steady 6.8% annual growth rate, fuelled by increased electricity consumption, AI adoption, and rapid infrastructure development.
The market stood at $5.90 billion in 2025, but analysts say current trends signal a much bigger shift underway.
Why This Market Is Suddenly Booming
At the heart of the growth is a simple reality: the world is using more electricity than ever.
According to the International Energy Agency, global electricity demand rose by 4.3% in 2024, highlighting the urgent need for efficient power systems.
AC-DC cable assemblies—critical components that connect power sources to devices—are becoming essential across industries, from consumer electronics to industrial automation.
AI Is Quietly Reshaping the Industry
Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a game-changer in the sector.
From smarter cable design to faster manufacturing and better supply chain forecasting, AI is helping companies cut costs, reduce errors, and deliver faster. Engineers can now optimise performance and durability before production even begins.
Data Centres, EVs, and the Digital Boom
The explosion of data centres and AI-powered computing is also driving demand. These facilities require high-density, heat-resistant cable systems to handle massive power loads efficiently.
At the same time, the global push for electric vehicles is expanding the need for reliable charging infrastructure—another key area where advanced cable assemblies are critical.
What It Means Going Forward
With electrification accelerating across transport, homes, and industries, experts say demand for efficient power connectivity will only intensify.
The result: a fast-growing market at the centre of the world’s energy and technology transition.
