The global mineral insulated heating cable market was valued US$ 254.55 million in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ 350.10 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% during 2020–2027.
Mineral insulated heating cables are preferred choice in high temperature environments due to their low flammability. The cable comprises copper wires inside a copper and stainless steel sheath. It is insulated by magnesium oxide (MgO) that confers resistance against oxidation and ionizing radiation, and physical and chemical stability at high temperatures, which makes it a tremendous electrical insulation material. Various sheath types that cover mineral insulated cable help safeguard the thermocouple wires from oxidation when used in wet environments. As the cable is resistant to corrosion, it is ideal for use in applications wherein failure and replacement could be dangerous.The mineral contents in the cables offer non-reactive insulation, which prevents the contact of thermocouple wires with corrosive substances such as oils and water. Mineral insulated heating cables retain their precision even during exposure to high temperatures; thus, they are ideal in industries such as oil & gas, energy & power, and medical devices, which impose safety standards strictly. The cables are verified using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.
The global energy & power generation industry is witnessing tremendous growth; also, various construction and electrical projects, especially in the Southeast Asian countries, are in line. Thus, the mineral insulated heating cables offer future growth opportunities for market players operating in the global market as the need for higher electricity generation and better-conducting channels are increasing in several industries.
