Manufacture of other electronic and electric wires and cables

NACE code 27.32 covers the manufacture of a wide range of electronic and electric wires and cables. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electrical and electronics sector, providing the essential components that power modern devices, infrastructure, and communication networks. As technology continues to advance, the demand for high-quality, specialized cables and wires has grown, making this industry a vital part of the global economy.

The production of electronic and electric wires and cables typically involves several key steps. First, raw materials such as copper, aluminum, or optical fibers are sourced and prepared. These materials are then drawn, extruded, or coated to create the desired wire or cable structure. Insulation and sheathing materials may be added to provide protection and functionality. Finally, the cables are tested, spooled, and packaged for distribution.

The main inputs required for the manufacture of electronic and electric wires and cables include various metals (such as 24.10 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and 24.42 Aluminium production), plastics and polymers (from 20.16 Manufacture of plastics in primary forms), and specialized machinery and equipment (from 28.92 Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction and 26.51 Manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation).

The primary outputs of this industry are the diverse range of electronic and electric wires and cables used in a variety of applications. These products are consumed by numerous other industries, including 27.11 Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers, 27.12 Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus, 26.11 Manufacture of electronic components, and 42.22 Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications.
