Africa Structured Cabling Market Analysis

The Africa Structured Cabling Market size is estimated at USD 0.81 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.21 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.32% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The African structured cabling market is transitioning toward growth, propelled by increased investments in communication infrastructure and a trend toward data center convergence. Moreover, a surging demand for high-speed connectivity devices and systems bolsters market expansion.
  • Major subsea cable projects, 2Africa and Equiano, are nearing completion. Their launch is anticipated to double Africa's internet capacity, paving the way for a swift adoption of 5G technology. Governments and telecom giants are channeling significant investments into 5G infrastructure, providing benefits like high speeds, reduced latency, and enhanced coverage, spanning both urban and rural landscapes. Submarine cable systems, like 2Africa, are planned to revolutionize African connectivity and initiatives like diversifying communications between APAC and Europe.
  • As network coverage becomes a critical focus, cross-border collaborations are increasingly vital. Governments are teaming up with telecom operators, tech firms, and development agencies. This collaboration not only drives infrastructure projects but also facilitates knowledge exchange, ultimately leading to a more interconnected continent. As per the data by International Finance Corporation and Google, Africa's internet economy will grow the continent's GDP by USD 180 billion by 2025. This provides a critical opportunity for a strong digital infrastructure to support the growth of the market.
  • Many regions of Africa lack network infrastructure, including reliable power supply and internet connectivity, to facilitate the deployment of data centers and high-speed data networks. The shortage of skilled professionals in data structure cabling technology also hampers the market’s growth.
