About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Kunkune Releases 2025 Report on Global Electronic Components Industry Trends

By: Prodigy
09/01/2025, Thame // PRODIGY: Feature Story //

Kunkune has unveiled its comprehensive research study, “State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025,” which gives an outlook on the electronic components market. The report captures how global semiconductor sales surged to $630.5 billion in 2024 and are projected to hit $700.9 billion in 2025 amid supply chain pressures, advancing technologies, and rising demand from automotive and IoT sectors.

The report provides a detailed map of the semiconductor industry’s rapid changes, clearly linking trends to their underlying causes. It examines market performance, capacity, trade flows, and innovation shaping the global electronic components market. Readers can access the full analysis in the State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025, which translates raw data into forecasts that help industry leaders mitigate risks and pursue opportunities.

A Kunkune spokesperson remarked, “This report captures the seismic shifts redefining the electronic components landscape. AI-driven chip design and the surge in electric vehicle adoption signal an era of extraordinary acceleration. Yet, the industry’s true trajectory will depend on its ability to fuse innovation with supply chain resilience, ensuring that momentum translates into lasting growth.”

The report underscores the dynamic evolution of the semiconductor industry. That transformation is evident in the numbers: Global semiconductor sales rose 19.1% in 2024 to $630.5 billion and projections for 2025 point to another 11.2% climb, reaching $700.9 billion. The growth is led by logic and memory chips, while fab expansion is set to raise the output to 33.7 million wafers per month. More insights are available in the State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025, which highlights how performance trends tie directly to innovation cycles and supply resilience.

Growth is strong, but the parts pipeline is tight. In April 2025, wait times to get components hit a new high — worse than during the pandemic — making it harder for manufacturers to source parts and keep shelves stocked.

Big demand is driving that crunch. Electric car sales reached 17 million in 2024 (over 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide). Connected devices, everything from smart speakers to factory sensors, climbed to 18.8 billion. Tiny sensors and switches (MEMS) also had a solid year, bringing in $15.4 billion.

Companies are answering with more research and smarter designs. U.S. chipmakers spent $62.7 billion on R&D in 2024, about 18 cents of every dollar earned. That money fuels advances in AI, “chiplet” Lego-style chip building, and early quantum tech.

Looking ahead, the industry faces risks from geopolitics and reliance on a few key suppliers, but opportunities are growing in 5G, electric vehicles, and faster chip production. Companies that strengthen supply chains while advancing technology are likely to lead.

Kunkune’s latest report reinforces its position as a trusted source for global semiconductor sales data and electronic components market insights. The State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025 underscores both the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry’s future.
