construction industry. For instance, according to Statistics Canada, in the
second quarter of 2021, total building construction investment surged by 7.3%
to US$ 57.2 billion. The residential building reached $40 billion for the first
time ($43.4 billion), representing a 9.3% rise over the first quarter. The
residential sector's strength this quarter was driven by single-unit
investment, particularly in the larger provinces.
Significant market traction from the increasing demand for LSZH cables across various industrial sectors
The most apparent applications for LSZH cables
are in confined spaces with numerous cables close to humans or sensitive
electronic equipment. Submarines and ships are prime examples, due to which
the military was among the first to implement LSZH standards. Furthermore, LSZH
cables are commonly used in mass transit and central office facilities, and
many telecommunication standards require them. Additionally, as data
communication has increased, the amount of cable installed in buildings has
increased. Because of the large relative fuel load represented by wire and
cable, central office telecommunication facilities were the first place where
LSZH cables became common. The use of LSZH cables is anticipated to grow as
more industries introduce environmental and safety initiatives. LSZH cable
generally has high resistance to chemicals, due to which in the oil refinery
industry, LSZH cable products are used to perform at a high level in harsh
environments. The marine and oil and gas refinery industry consist of very
specialized products that are highly regulated. The demanding environments
in which the marine and oil and gas refinery wires and cables operate mean the
jacketing and insulation choices must be carefully considered. Due to the low
smoke, environmental, and toxicity benefits, there are numerous advantages of
using LSZH cable in the industrial sectors.
Canada LSZH Cable Market Challenges
Drawbacks associated with LSZH cables will Hamper the Market Growth
LSZH cables are typically more expensive than
equivalent PVC cables, and certain types are less flexible. Low smoke zero
halogen cables offer numerous significant safety benefits, but there may be an
electrical and mechanical trade-off. The cable jacket must contain a high
percentage of filler material to be low-smoke zero-halogen. This increase in
filler material could render the jacket less chemical and water-resistant
and provide poorer mechanical and electrical properties than a non-LSZH
counterpart. LSZH jackets are also more prone to jacket cracking during
installation, so special lubricants may be required to prevent damage,
particularly in cold environments. Furthermore, the LSZH cable is not suitable
for robotic or continuous flex applications because of its limited flexibility.
As a result, LSZH cable is frequently used in applications where fire safety is
more important than specific electrical and mechanical properties. Thus, due to
the drawbacks mentioned above associated with LSZH cable, the market is
anticipated to face challenges in the upcoming years.
