As the starting year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, 2026 witnesses accelerated green transformation in China’s wire and cable industry. Latest industry data shows that the market penetration rate of green low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant cables and environmentally friendly power cables has exceeded 40%. With the implementation of new national cable standards, green and eco-friendly cables have become a mandatory requirement in bidding for municipal projects, power grid upgrades, real estate infrastructure and rail transit construction. Traditional halogen-containing, high-toxicity cables are being phased out. Low-smoke halogen-free, recyclable and low-carbon power cables will dominate the market, forcing manufacturers to upgrade materials and production lines.
