Growth in Indian Wire and Cable Industry- The Way Forward
The Indian wire and cable industry is witnessing robust growth driven by infrastructure development, renewable energy projects, 5G expansion, and government-led electrification initiatives. This demand is driven by electrification, infrastructure upgrades, smart cities, metro projects, and renewable energy expansion.
EV adoption and charging infrastructure are boosting traction and high-voltage cable demand, while 4G/5G fiberization, FTTH, and data centers drive fiber-optic growth. Construction, real estate, and industrial capex further add to demand for building wires. Strong growth is expected over the next 3–7 years, supported by renewable targets, EV momentum, and digital infrastructure.

Major Trends in Terms of Technology, Product Mix, and Supply Chain
In terms of major shifts and trends, we are observing a move towards higher-value products such as XLPE-insulated MV/HV cables, fire-resistant and halogen-free cables, solar DC cables, EV charging and traction cables, and fiber optics. Manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing traceability and anti-counterfeiting, which makes advanced coding solutions critical in delivering durable, high-speed, and legible markings that can withstand extrusion, transport, and usage conditions.
Control Print offers various printing technologies, including Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), and laser printer and provides track and trace solutions for house wiring to print QR codes on mono cartons. Significant innovation in materials, such as advanced polymers and halogen-free flame-retardant compounds, is driving the industry forward, and Control Print supports this progress by offering specialized inks that are fully compatible with these materials, ensuring diverse application requirements are met.
Impact of New Entrants in the Industry
The entry of new players has intensified competition, creating price pressure but also raising the bar on quality and certification, which benefits technically capable suppliers. In terms of innovation and market structure, new entrants often bring fresh capital, promote the adoption of automation, and launch value-added products. These entrants often bring capital, automation, and value-added products, reshaping market dynamics. We also see growing partnerships and joint ventures in the wire and cable sector, signalling further opportunities for the coding and marking industry.
At Control Print, we address this environment with clear strategic positioning in high-growth, high-margin segments such as EV/charging, solar DC and rooftop, MV/HV XLPE, fiber/FTTH, and data-center solutions. Our wide ink portfolio is designed for demanding materials like PTFE, XLPE, FRLS, silicon, ETFE, and solar (e-beam curing) applications. To ensure reliability, we are building multi-sourcing options for critical additives, reducing single-source risk.
In manufacturing and digitalization, we aim to develop bundled solutions for wires, especially house wire, including software development, QR code printing, data maintenance, and track and trace solutions for product authenticity, while on-going upskilling of our teams ensures quick, application-specific customer support.
Future Readiness to Compete in the Evolving Market
At Control Print, we are investing in technologies specifically designed for the wire and cable industry, including Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) solutions for printing on cables and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printing for mono-cartons. These ensure strong adhesion, clarity, and durability of codes on challenging surfaces and packaging. With localized manufacturing, dedicated R&D, and nationwide service support, we are positioned to help manufacturers achieve compliance, reduce downtime, and stay competitive in a fast-evolving market.
