Over the past 12‑18 months the PVC Trunking market has accelerated its transformation, driven by a blend of strategic collaborations, technology roll‑outs, and evolving regulatory frameworks. ABB Power andches partnered with German cable‑maker Nexans to co‑develop fire‑resistant PVC trunking solutions for data‑center upgrades, leveraging ABB’s digital monitoring platform. Meanwhile, the acquisition of UK‑based Easylink Systems by Australian conglomerate Boral Infrastructure has broadened geographic reach into Oceania, adding a $45 million revenue stream. In early 2025, FlexiGuard launched a lightweight, UV‑stabilised PVC trunking line featuring integrated cable‑identification tags, targeting renewable‑energy installations. The European Union’s revised Low‑Voltage Directive, effective July 2024, now mandates 30 % higher flame‑retardancy standards, prompting manufacturers to redesign product formulations. Concurrently, enterprise customers are shifting toward modular, pre‑tested trunking kits to shorten installation cycles, a trend amplified by the surge in edge‑computing deployments. Additionally, German startup CableFlex secured €12 million in Series B funding to scale its automated PVC trunking extrusion line, targeting the fast‑growing smart‑building segment across Europe. These dynamics collectively shape current PVC Trunking industry trends.
