With the ASEAN Power Grid initiative accelerating cross-border interconnections, demand for large-scale submarine power networks continues to rise. By 2030, the global submarine cable market is projected to reach KRW 34 trillion (approx. USD 23 billion). The Asia-Pacific region alone is expected to account for KRW 20 trillion (approx. USD 13 billion). This achievement strengthens the company’s global position and it continues to expand in the high-growth Asia-Pacific market.
