Adani, Birla foray into cables sector
The entry of the Aditya Birla and Adani groups into the wires and cables sector is expected to lead to consolidation in the space, as these conglomerates are likely to consider acquisitions to quickly expand the business, industry players said.This may also open up opportunities for some of the small players to cash out, they said, as the profitability of existing companies is expected to take a hit of around 200 basis points (2 percentage points) due to increasing competition.“Companies have announced such huge investments, so it cannot be only greenfield, because that will take a lot of time,” said Sunil Chordia, managing director of Rajratan Global Wire, a manufacturer of bead and high-carbon steel wires. “Consolidation is the answer for the long term, so some smaller companies will have an opportunity to cash out.”India’s wires and cable market is currently estimated at more than $9 billion, having grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 10-12% in the past decade. With demand coming in from several sectors including power, infrastructure and housing, growth is expected to be in the 10-13% range over the next few years, effectively doubling the market size in the next six-seven years, according to industry experts.
