Power for buildings and electric mobility
Electrical solutions connecting power to buildings, mobility and daily life.
It’s where electrification meets everyday life — in homes, cities, and industries.
At Nexans, we raise the bar with smarter systems, safer cables, and sustainable solutions that connect possibilities.
Empowering everyday electrification
Nexans designs, manufactures, and distributes low-voltage cables (<1 kV) and related accessories for electrical systems connecting the end of the energy distribution network to the user’s outlet.
We power electrification across residential, infrastructure, industrial, commercial, data center, and e-mobility markets — bringing safe and sustainable energy wherever it’s needed. In a world becoming increasingly electric, global electricity demand is expected to double by 2050 and electricity consumption is forecast to grow at around 4 % annually through 2027.
The low-voltage cable market, valued at €74 billion in 2023, is expected to grow 5% annually to reach €94 billion by 2028.
Growth drivers:
- Emerging markets: urbanization, housing improvements, rural electrification.
- Developed economies: transformation toward energy-positive and smart buildings, enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and electrified mobility.
