The year 2025 marks the conclusion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan and the crucial beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. This year is expected to witness the accelerated development of new quality productivity forces, with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, new materials, commercial space, low-altitude economy, new energy vehicles and other emerging industries. These innovations will inject fresh vitality into the wire and cable industry.
Looking ahead to 2025, WireShow invites you to join us in shaping the future landscape of the wire and cable industry!
Time: 27-29.08.2025
Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center
Embracing the Digital Era
The rise of artificial intelligence has brought data center power consumption into the spotlight. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), data centers accounted for 2% of global power consumption in 2022 and by 2026, this consumption is estimated to reach between 620 billion and 1.05 trillion kilowatt-hours. The global demand for fiber optic cables is projected to grow by 7%.
As the digital economy expands, wire and cable manufacturers are prioritizing intelligent and digital transformations to unlock new growth opportunities and rejuvenate their operations. Increasingly, these companies are exploring the integration of digital, intelligent and traditional manufacturing processes to enhance cost-effectiveness, efficiency, quality and sustainability. In 2025, WireShow will present the latest advancements in automation and digitalization across the entire wire and cable product chain, providing an immersive experience of intelligence.
Going Green
The rapid development of renewable energy infrastructure is boosting technological innovations across energy production, transmission and related sectors. China's 14th Five-Year Plan on Renewable Energy Development aims for wind and solar power installations to exceed 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030, spurring exponential growth in wire and cable demand for photovoltaic and wind power stations.
The integration of green, low-carbon and intelligent technologies is revitalizing the wire and cable manufacturing industry. By optimizing product design, using eco-friendly materials, adopting cleaner production practices and improving product recycling, the industry is actively working towards energy conservation, emission reduction and resource recycling. WireShow 2025 will introduce efficient, energy-saving wire and cable manufacturing equipment, eco-friendly innovative materials and industry resource recycling solutions to support sustainable business development.
Boosting Innovation and Pursuing Quality
China's "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" has set a goal for new energy vehicles to account for about 20% of total new car sales by 2025. The market for new energy vehicle cables and harnesses is expected to exceed 500 billion in the coming years. This surge will drive innovation and development across the entire wire and cable industry chain, particularly in automotive cables.
In 2024, the "low-altitude economy" was highlighted in the government work report for the first time, identifying it as a key area for fostering new quality productive forces. By 2030, this sector is projected to grow into a trillion-dollar market. Aerospace wires and cables, crucial for power and signal transmission in aircraft systems, will face new opportunities and challenges as the low-altitude economy expands.
