Nexans, the world's biggest cable maker, sees no immediate upturn in demand for cables in 2010, from a market which has stabilised at a "very low" level, according to its CEO on 14 December, but a boom in wind farm and power network projects is providing some relief for the group's sales. Nexans has just announced its largest ever wind-power contract, a €100M deal for subsea power cables for the London Array off-shore project.

After initially forecasting a ¥1.1bn operating loss for the fiscal year ending March 2010, Japan's Fujikura Ltd says it now expects its cable and systems business will recover to the break-even point on an operating basis, thanks to a recovery in copper prices. The cable and systems business handles many products whose prices are linked to copper, such as power cables, communications cables and coated wires. Sales volumes this year are expected to be down 20-30% due to weaker capital spending in the private sector. But since the end of March 2009 three-month futures prices for copper on the London Metal Exchange have climbed nearly 60%, and the half year operating loss forecast has now shrunk from ¥1.9bn to ¥800m.

Fujikura Dia Cable (FDC), the joint venture of Fujikura and Mitsubishi Cable Industries, announced a 14% year-on-year decline in their building cables shipment for the period April-September 2008. FDC describe the current situation as a difficult one, especially due to weak demand. The manufacturer, facing decreased inventory value due to falling copper prices, has to sell at relatively low prices reducing profit margins. FDC cable shipments fell by 8% in 2007 and the initial target for 2008 was to grow back to the 2006 level. However, this was revised down because of sales results. Overall profitability is also affected by rising prices of insulating and sheathing materials.
