The Single Axial Loose Tube Cable Market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2033, driven by the country’s aggressive investments in smart city initiatives, digital infrastructure, and 5G deployment. Projects like Smart Dubai and the UAE Vision 2031 are accelerating fiber-optic rollout in residential, commercial, and public sectors. Loose tube cables are in high demand due to their excellent thermal stability and resistance to desert conditions, making them ideal for the region's climate.
While the market is advancing rapidly, challenges such as limited underground cabling space in dense urban areas can slow installations. Nonetheless, the government’s strong digital transformation agenda and public-private partnerships offer ample opportunities. A notable trend is the increasing adoption of fire-retardant, low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable materials to meet safety standards in high-rise developments. Additionally, there’s rising interest in hybrid fiber cables supporting both data and power transmission for integrated smart infrastructure.
