A piping system called an electrical conduit, is used to transport electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Conduits are used to protect the encased wiring from corrosion, mechanical harm, and fire. They are available in different sizes with accessories such as junctions, clamps, bends, T- shapes, C-shapes, and L-shapes.
A tube-shaped device called an electrical conduit is used to organize and protect the overall electrical wiring in a building or other structures. The use of electrical conduits is increasing as a precaution against fire, electrical supply problems, and other operational hazards. Conduits are very resistant to corrosion, waterproof, do not support combustion, and can withstand fire. Metals, polymers, textiles, or burnt clays are used in their construction.
The two types of electrical conduits are metal electrical conducts and non-metal conducts.
Metal Electrical Conduits
- Electrical Metal Conduit (EMC)
- Flexible Metal Conduits (FMC)
- Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC)
- Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)
- Liquid-tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LMC)
Non-metal Electrical Conduits: Non-metallic conduit (NMC) is used for above-the-ground applications. This conduit needs to be robust, flame-resistant, and resistant to the effects of heat, sunshine, and low temperatures.
- Non-metallic Conduit (NMC)
- Rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (Rigid PVC)
Different electrical conduit materials include metallic and non-metallic. They are used in various end-use industries such as building and construction, industrial manufacturing, IT & telecom, oil & gas, energy & utility, and others.
Electrical conduits are further segmented into two types
- Rigid Electrical Conduits: Rigid electrical conduit is typically used outdoors to provide protection from damage and offer structural support for electrical cables, panels, and other equipment.
- Flexible Electrical Conduits: Flexible electrical conduit has a spiral construction that makes it flexible, allowing it to snake through walls and other structures. It is generally used in dry indoor locations, often for short runs between a wall box and a motor or fixed appliance, such as a garbage disposer.
North America Electrical Conduits & Fitting Accessories Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
Rapid pace of Industrialization and Urbanization
Rapidly growing world population and economic development and surge in urbanization have significantly increased the demand for energy in the past years.
According to the World Bank, over 50% of the population lives in urban areas globally. The world's urban population is estimated to increase by 1.5 times to 6 billion by 2045. Expanding infrastructure and building & construction sectors are responsible for driving the demand for electrical conduit. High demand for electric cables from the infrastructure industry is driving up the usage of electrical conduits.
Rise in Demand for Electricity or Power Generation
The demand for electrical conduits is increasing, owing to their extensive use in power transmission. The growth of electricity consumption is attributed to increasing global energy production.
According to the International Energy Agency, the global electricity demand in 2021 increased by 4.5% or over 1,000 TWh. According to Canada's Upstream Oil & Natural Gas Industry, the global population is expected to grow by nearly two billion people over the next twenty years, and power generation is estimated to increase by 49% by 2040.
Increasing R&D Expenditure
Major manufacturers of electrical conduit pipes are increasing their Research & Development expenditure to produce high-resistance conduit pipes. Increasing Research & Development efforts through partnerships or collaborations helps businesses introduce cutting-edge products to the market.
Research & Development operations have to lead to competitive price offerings, improvements in end-user performance satisfaction, and the usage of cutting-edge technologies. Increasing demand for innovations in electrical conduits such as flexibility and assembly time are expected to fuel the market.
The MIG welding guns ensure consistent weld quality and reduce the likelihood of errors that can occur with manual welding processes. The increasing need for welding accuracy is expected to continue driving the growth of the robotic MIG welding guns market in the coming years, as Industries continue to demand high levels of precision and accuracy in welding operations.
Technological Advancements
Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the electric conduit market. Companies in the electric conduit market are continuously focusing on innovations for better and safer conduit systems.
The specially formulated PVC is made up of high-impact resistance materials, which makes them safe for use across diverse environmental conditions and meets the most stringent international standards. Technological advancements are necessary to reduce the problematic installations of electrical conduits which are hampering the growth of the electrical conduit.
Existing Restraint
The fluctuating prices of raw materials
Raw materials used for the production of electrical conduits are susceptible to volatile prices. Fluctuations in the prices affect the profit margin of manufacturers. Raw materials employed for electrical conduits include plastic, stainless steel, and aluminum.
The key factor causing fluctuations in the prices of raw materials includes volatility in the prices of energy and crude oil. Suppliers can raise the price of their goods or reduce their profit margins in response to rising raw material costs, which is likely to impede the market.
Problematic installation of electrical conduits
Problematic installations of electrical conduits are a major challenge for the electrical conduit market. The time required for installation is high and fault identification in the system is not easy. These difficulties are a major challenge.
Once electrical conduits are developed, the challenge is to identify defects and repair the wiring. Additionally, changing the position of switches is difficult, and managing additional connections in the future is a complicated process.
