The global data center wire and cable market is valued at approximately USD 18.17 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach approximately USD 27.42 billion by 2031, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. Volume is estimated at approximately 15.6 million cable-kilometers in 2025, rising to approximately 23.6 million cable-kilometers by 2031. The 2025 base year is triangulated from multiple independent approaches, with the reconciliation documented in the report's Executive Summary.

The report covers value and volume for every segment, region and country. North America is the largest region at approximately 39.6% of 2025 value, followed by Asia Pacific (28.0%) and Europe (22.0%), with Latin America and Middle East & Africa making up the balance. Twenty named countries are covered across five regions, and twelve leading cable and connectivity manufacturers are profiled in detail. The market is fragmented but consolidating, following Amphenol's acquisition of CommScope's Connectivity and Cable Solutions business and Prysmian's announced acquisition of Atkore.
