Superconducting Wire Market Trends

Drivers

Increasing Investment in Superconductivity Related Activities is Driving the Market Growth

• Increasing investment in superconductivity related activities is driving the market CAGR for superconducting wire. Conduits are generally made of niobium and titanium. When frozen below the transition zone, it has no motion resistance. Furthermore, high-temperature materials such as YBCOP tend to outperform copper and aluminum materials. Because the latter is the current quantity with no energy loss. Like magnets, high-conductivity wires are commonly used in research and medical devices. As the importance of computer chip technology increases, so the market for cables also increases.

Rising Implementation of Superconducting Wires Over Conventional Wires

• Superconductivity has been established to reduce energy losses for transmitting a huge quantity of strength over long distances with smaller infrastructure improvement than traditional twine setups. High-temperature superconducting wires in cables, fault modern limiters, transformers, and mills have made it feasible to ensure minimal losses even as transferring electricity in comparison to traditional wires. Superconductors also save capital investments required for building overhead transmission structures and electromagnetic interferences, that are essential for traditional wires, as high-temperature superconducting wires are laid on or underneath floor.

Restraints

Increased Construction Costs

• The lack of major testing facilities and high manufacturing costs associated with superconductors may restrain market growth. High cost associated with overvoltage cables is also one of the major factors that can restrain the growth of overvoltage cables market globally. Superconductors must be exposed to extreme temperatures and often a magnetic field is added to release the charge, as they can be expensive to maintain.

Lack of Technical Expertise Associated with Superconducting Technology

• Most power lines in the world are made of conventional wires. Ongoing research and development of the pipelines is still underway to achieve the necessary costs and economies of scale. They have little interest in the market. In addition, the energy sector lacks expertise in maintenance and technical skills associated with overvoltage technologies. Due to the above-mentioned factors, governments of many countries and some private players are reluctant to invest and adopt this technology, slowing down the demand in the market and even, most applications, stay that maglev, fusion reactors, wind turbine generators, rocket propulsion, high-field magnets and generators, are still in early product development phase with great efforts in discovering new superconducting materials. Lack of user experience in superconducting wires hampers their confidence.
