The CRU Wire & Cable Conference attracts an influential audience of senior executives from 30+countries from the
world’s cable makers, as well as the insulated wire and cable supply chain.
This year the conference will bring together leading industry executives, technical experts and key stakeholders to discuss the evolution of power generation, grid expansion, energy security and digitalisation required for the large increase in power demand for the electrification of industrial processes, hyperscale data centers and sustainable transportation.

CRU's Aisling Hubert, Wire & Cable comments:
"Global electrification continues at pace, with aggregated demand for wire and cable reaching record levels. Structural drivers remain firmly in place: the expansion of clean power, the need for ever-greater connectivity, and the rapid growth of new applications such as data centres. The industry has become increasingly synonymous with the infrastructure of modern living.
The past year has not been without challenges. Trade uncertainty, policy shifts and commodity price volatility have reshaped risk profiles across major markets, while cyclical slowdowns in construction and industry have introduced pockets of softness. At the same time, supply chains continue adjusting to higher financing costs and tighter operating margins.
Yet the underlying fundamentals remain compelling. Demand for energy and connectivity applications continues to rise, and technological progress is pushing boundaries, delivering higher-voltage systems, lower-loss networks, more sustainable and circular material pathways, and increasingly sophisticated advanced materials. These developments are enabling faster deployment, improved performance and reduced environmental footprints across the global grid.
As economies accelerate towards electrification and digitalisation, wire and cable is not simply keeping pace, it is defining the next era of infrastructure, with a growth outlook that remains decisively optimistic."
