Market Definition
A submarine cable system refers to the cable frameworks connected to a land-based station that helps to transmit the signals over the ocean and marine water bodies. The connectivity combination over long distances combines communication and electricity transmission through the cable systems laid under water.
The demand and the deployment of the submarine cable system are completely dependent on the North America increase in telecom and internet subscriptions. They are expected to expand the submarine systems in unexplored areas. Moreover, sea freight and GPS play a major role in developing submarine cables across all countries and regions in the modern world. This needs the application of proper and unique government regulations to develop a standard procedure and connectivity. Hence it includes several set of rules and regulations which helps to boost the market.
Submarine Cable System Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers/Opportunities
- Rise in the trend of offshore wind power generation
Submarine cables have been around since the mid-1800s. But, for a large portion of their set of experiences, such cables were utilized fundamentally to send power from conventional sources, for example, coal plants, either between nations or out to islands or oil stages. The submarine cable industry faced a decline during the 19th century. That changed during the 2000s, as rising energy costs and worries about environmental change animated interest in growing offshore wind and more effective transnational power grids.
Wind power generation is a clean energy source that does not require fuel and power generation offshore has strong winds, attracting offshore wind power generation development projects across the globe.
- Rise in the adoption of cloud-based services
The development over the air using various new satellite groups of stars being sent off and the rising fondness for getting to content through portable organizations over remote wireless transmissions. These remote transmissions are connected through data center infrastructures. They are interconnected through cables laid in a submarine to develop connections among different data centers in different countries and regions. This implies a need for submarine cables that helps to connect data centers and directly improve cloud-based connectivity for all types of organizations. Thus, the adoption of cloud-based services and solutions is expected to be a major driver of the growth of the submarine cable system market.
- Deployment of various technologies in submarine cable systems
Power feeding to submarine cable systems is a long-established practice, from coaxial submarine systems to present-day optical amplifier systems. The main principles of electrical powering to the submarine cable systems, as discussed in this chapter, are power feeding equipment (PFE) installed in the terminal stations, return path through earth and sea, and the PFE feeding a constant current to stabilize the repeater characteristics and transmission performance.
Restraint/Challenges
- High initial investments act as an entry barrier for SMEs
The connection through subsea cable is lengthy and thus the cost is directly dependent on the length of the cable systems used which directly Thus, it has been observed that usually, the major players in the market involves in the submarine cable service business as it involves huge investments which the SMEs cannot offer. This will restrict more players from entering the market and promote dominance, which is expected to restrict market growth.
- Complex repairing procedures
Cable ships are loaded with enough cable for repairs, maybe 5-10 km, which can be loaded in a few hours. Cable has to be added to make the repair, since there is not enough slack to bring the cable up and cut a piece out. After the cable is retrieved and on board, in a repair room that looks like a laboratory, engineers repair the cable.
Post COVID-19 Impact on Submarine Cable System Market
COVID-19 significantly impacted the submarine cable system market as almost every country has opted for the shutdown for every production facility except those producing essential goods. The government has taken strict actions, such as shutting down production and sale of non-essential goods, blocking international trade, and many more, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only business dealing in this pandemic situation is the essential services allowed to open and run the processes.
The growth of the submarine cable system market is rising due to the digitalization in the production process and supply chains across electrical utilities, mining, oil and gas, and transportation. Moreover, cable faults occur frequently worldwide, and a fleet of dedicated vessels repair them as quickly as possible. Repairing a cable requires receiving government permits to access ports and for ships to perform repairs in territorial waters. Delays in permits were already an issue facing the industry in some countries before COVID-19. With the importance of connectivity at its pinnacle, it's more vital than ever for governments to expedite permits to ensure swift repairs.
Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology in the submarine cable system market. The companies will bring advanced and accurate solutions to the market.
