The global flat flexible cables market size is expected to reach USD 3.06 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The market is expected to advance at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2023 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for miniaturized electronic devices that offer superior performance. Furthermore, the electronics industry is one of the key drivers of the market for flat flexible cables.
Strong demand for next-generation commercial aircraft owing to the increasing passenger traffic, especially in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa, is expected to drive the production of commercial aircraft. The increased aircraft production is anticipated to fuel the demand for flat flexible cables. These cables are used in aerospace production for internal connections in various electronic equipment such as electronic communication equipment, displays, semiconductor automation, and aircraft fuel & systems, among others.
Flat flexible cables offer superior bending capability and, at the same time, have low weight and are resistant to chemicals. These attributes make them extremely suitable for manufacturing lightweight vehicles in the automotive industry. With regulations emphasizing the need for lighter-weight vehicle manufacturing, the demand for flat flexible cables is expected to rise in the coming years. The product is manufactured using several raw materials such as aluminum, rubber, thermoplastic, polyurethane, polyester, and polyimide. The prices of several raw materials are susceptible to fluctuations on account of factors such as disruptions in the supply chain and the demand-supply gap. For instance, aluminum prices are increasing owing to its low inventory.
Manufacturers are involved in the production of various types of flat flexible cables as per their application in different end-use areas such as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, marine, etc. Additionally, companies also offer the option of customization to build a product based on customers' requirements. This helps the company cater to a wider audience, thereby gaining significant market share as compared to other manufacturers.
