Metallic Wire Ropes were first invented between 1831 and 1834 by Wilhelm Albert, a German mining engineer. Due to its toughness and superiority to other ropes made of metal chains or hemp, the metallic ropes were quickly embraced.
The Metallic Rope Cords consists of individual steel wires, which are woven into a strand. The number and size of wires must provide the best possible balance between large wires for optimum corrosion safety and abrasion resistance, and smaller wires for the required flexibility and handling.
The basic material is wire rod, which is cold-drawn into wires of various diameters and strength grades. The wire can be untreated, galvanized or stainless steel type. Galvanized wire provides the rope greater protection against corrosion. In extreme environments a stainless steel rope is used.
The offshore mooring industry is said primarily to drive the wire rope & cords market. Another major driver is the moving towards steel sheaves from plastic sheaves because increasing the life of Metallic Rope Cords drives their adoption.
The key restraint in the Metallic Rope Cords market is the increasing use of advanced material ropes and fiber ropes as an alternative for Metallic Rope Cords is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the Metallic Rope Cords market. Corrosion is a key restraint associated with Metallic Rope Cords as it affects industrial operation by means of delay.
The most important trend in the Metallic Rope Cords market is the increasing demand for lightweight and high durability ropes. Post crude oil crisis the manufacturers of Metallic Rope Cords have witnessed rapid growth in terms of sales.
This is due to growing number of projects related to coal mining, oil exploration, and drilling for other ores and minerals. Imports of steel from China to the U.S. have had a significant breakthrough thanks to the recent tariffs added by the U.S. government. This will be a driving force for domestic producers as supply from Chinese suppliers is hampered.
"The demand glut in Metallic Rope Cords has led industry players to resort to production cuts to cope with the ongoing crisis, especially in this industry. The recovery of industrial and construction activities is hindered by the supply disruptions, timely availability of labor and material and low fixed assets investment.
European Union and U.S. are struggling with slowdown in manufacturing sector and low investor confidence. Metallic rope and cord companies are looking to reduce capital expenditure by delaying or scrapping expansion and new projects until the demand increases and raw material prices comes down.
Asia Pacific region is said to account for a prominent share in metallic ropes and cords market. This is due to high demand for metal ropes and cords from marine, fishing, manufacturing, mining and other industries. APAC is one of the main markets for metal ropes and cords with significant potential for growth in the manufacturing, fishing and mining sectors.
The offshore mooring industry in Malaysia, Australia, and China is expected to drive metal rope and cord market in near future. China is the largest Metallic Rope Cords market in APAC and the second-largest economy in the world.
The country is growing rapidly due to its large manufacturing industry and growing population. The country has taken many steps to improve its manufacturing sectors which includes communications, transport and industrial goods. Growing manufacturing activities have resulted in rising demand for metal ropes and cords in the country.
