The global steel wire rope market was valued at USD 9345.29 Million in 2025. Surging deep-sea exploration contracts and offshore wind installations are fuelling demand for corrosion-resistant steel wire ropes, particularly those with polymer coatings and enhanced fatigue resistance for maritime operations. As a result, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.40% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 13055.64 Million by 2035.
The continuous growth in the market is sustained by booming infrastructure, mining, and deepwater offshore projects around the globe. One standout government initiative fuelling impacting the global demand is India’s National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), under which over 8,000 infrastructure projects have been announced with an investment of nearly USD 4.51 trillion by 2030. This massive push for ports, railways, and logistics directly influences steel wire rope market growth. Additionally, in the United States, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed in 2021 has earmarked over USD 110 billion for roads, bridges, and critical transport upgrades, areas where heavy-lifting wire ropes are essential. Hence, these government initiatives have compelled manufacturers to come up with advanced ropes that can combat high-tension environments.
Additionally, technological integrations, like IoT-based wear sensors embedded into ropes are gaining traction in the steel wire rope market. Companies are integrating smart solutions that notify wear-and-tear in real time, preventing accidents and downtime. These developments indicate a shift towards smarter, safer, and more efficient steel ropes.
