    Icon

    Telecommunications Carriers

    Global and regional telecommunications carriers demand massive volumes of optical fiber to support 5G and FTTH rollouts-Prysmian estimates global fiber demand at ~600 million fkm (fiber-kilometres) in 2025, driven by 5G densification and FTTH growth of ~18% CAGR (2023-2028). These customers prioritize capacity, low attenuation, and rapid delivery, creating high-volume, recurring orders for advanced fibers and turnkey cable systems.

    Icon

    Construction and Infrastructure Firms

    Construction and infrastructure firms-contractors and developers in residential, commercial, and public projects-buy wide ranges of low- and medium-voltage cables for building wiring and local power distribution; Prysmian sold ~11.5 billion euros in 2024, with cables for construction a core revenue stream exposed to cyclical real estate swings.

    • Targets: contractors, developers, public works
    • Products: LV/MV building and distribution cables
    • Risk: sensitive to real estate cycles; 2024 EU construction output -1.8%
    Icon

    Industrial and Transport Sectors

    Prysmian supplies oil & gas, mining, aerospace and e-mobility with cables for extreme environments and EV charging; in 2024 industrial & transport orders made up ~28% of group revenues (€6.4bn of €22.8bn), helping stabilize demand across cycles.

    • Specialized: subsea, mining, aerospace, EV charging

    Industrial/transport €6.4bn (28% share, 2024)

    Cost Structure

    Icon

    Raw Material Procurement

    The largest cost item is buying copper, aluminum and polymers for cable production; copper alone averaged about 9,000 USD/t in 2025 Q1, moving margins materially when +/-10% swings occur. Prysmian uses hedging (futures/options) to smooth volatility, and purchasing recycled/sustainable inputs - costing roughly 5-15% more in 2025 - is increasingly raising raw-material spend.

    Icon

    Manufacturing and Operations

    Running Prysmian's global factory network drives major costs: energy (electricity and gas ~15-18% of COGS), direct labor, and machinery upkeep-group CapEx for 2024 was €683m, with ~€220m for maintenance and replacement. Continuous automation investment (robotics, Industry 4.0) is needed to cut unit labor by 10-20% over 3-5 years. Operational spend also covers rigorous testing labs and certifications, typically 1-2% of sales.

    Explore a Preview
    Icon

    Research and Development Investment

    Maintaining Prysmian Group's tech lead needs steady R&D spend-lab gear, materials science teams, and prototyping for new cable designs-driving €257m R&D expense in 2024 (≈1.6% of 2024 revenue), a long-term growth enabler but a sizable short-term fixed cost.

    Icon

    Logistics and Fleet Maintenance

    Operating and maintaining Prysmian's specialized cable-laying fleet drives large capex and opex: vessel acquisition and retrofits (~€200-400m per new cable ship in 2024), fuel and lubricants (~€8-12k/day per vessel), crew wages, insurance, and scheduled dry-docking every 3-5 years (~€5-15m per yard visit).

    Global transport of heavy cable reels adds freight and port handling costs, typically €50-150/ton plus surge premiums for heavy-lift ports; logistics can represent 10-18% of project cost on HV submarine projects.

    • Vessel capex: €200-400m each (2024)
    • Fuel/opex: €8-12k/day per vessel
    • Dry-dock: €5-15m every 3-5 years
    • Freight/handling: €50-150/ton
    • Logistics share: 10-18% of HV project cost
    Icon

    Sales and Administrative Expenses

    Icon

    High copper costs, rising energy & logistics drive 2024-25 capex & opex pressures

    Major costs: raw materials (copper ~9,000 USD/t in 2025 Q1; recycled inputs +5-15%), energy (electricity/gas ~15-18% of COGS), logistics (freight €50-150/ton; 10-18% of HV project), vessels (capex €200-400m; opex €8-12k/day), R&D €257m in 2024, SG&A €1.18bn in 2024.

    Item 2024/2025
    Copper ~9,000 USD/t (2025 Q1)
    R&D €257m (2024)
    SG&A €1.18bn (2024)

    Revenue Streams

    Icon

    Energy Projects and Systems

    A major portion of Prysmian Group's revenue derives from high-value, multi-year subsea and underground power-link contracts-the Energy Projects and Systems stream represented about 36% of 2024 group sales (€8.9bn total, Prysmian FY2024 report) and features milestone-based payments; projects show higher gross margins (typically 18-24% vs group avg ~12%) but carry elevated technical, execution, and commodity-price risks.

    Icon

    Telecom Product Sales

    Revenue comes from high-volume sales of optical fiber, copper cables, and connectivity parts to telecom operators, driven by global digitalization and broadband expansion; Prysmian reported Telecom & Data revenues of EUR 2.6bn in 2024, up 4% YoY. Sales are typically secured via long-term supply agreements or large network rollouts-contracts often span 3-10 years and account for a significant share of order backlog (over EUR 4.8bn at end – 2024).
