US Cable sector has shown patchy recovery in 2011, still in modest growth
The American wire and cable industry serves the world’s biggest economy, including the world’s largest manufacturing sector until it was reportedly overtaken by the end of 2010 by China. Up to the financial crisis of 2008, the US had a vibrant housing market and unprecedented consumer boom that fed into demand for building wire, automotive wire and cable, etc. Many wire and cable producers reported record profits during this period.
