Circuit Breaker And Fuse Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast To 2022

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on March 30th, 2021

The global circuit breaker and fuse market is expected to reach USD 18.92 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Replacement of electromechanical and mechanical devices with electronic equipment is expected to drive demand in manufacturing and industrial sector.

The exponential spread of COVID-19 worldwide has had an adverse impact on the semiconductor industry with manufacturing facilities temporarily shut, leading to a significant slowdown in the production. The outbreak could result in disruption across the ecosystem with several supply chain participants shifting their production facilities outside China, thereby reducing their over-reliance on China. Lockdowns imposed by the governments in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak has not only affected manufacturing but also hauled consumer demand for semiconductor devices. Our analysts predict a decline in semiconductor revenue by over 1% in 2020 as compared to that in 2012. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Increasing construction and infrastructure activities using different components in residential and commercial projects such as MCBs, protective relays, air and gas circuit breakers is expected to boost demand. Technological advancements such as emergence of generator circuit breakers in natural gas power plants are further expected to boost the demand. Moreover, significant investment transmission grid has surpassed the need of replacing worn out energy infrastructure which is expected to provide significant opportunities for the circuit breaker and fuse industry.

Growing focus on increasing the functionality of power system apparatus to facilitate better system asset management and improve electrical power quality is expected to drive the market over the next seven years. However, high cost of raw materials such as gold and silver used for component wiring are expected to hamper growth.

Circuit Breaker And Fuse Market Report Highlights

• Low voltage circuit breaker market accounted for over 35% of the overall share in 2014. These are generally used in industrial, commercial and domestic applications. They are rated less than 1000 VAC or 1500 V DC and are primarily used for DC applications.
• The vacuum technology segment accounted for over 25% of the overall industry in 2014 and is expected to increase over the next seven years. This growth can be attributed to features such as less power requirement for control mechanism and growing demand for small and cost competitive vacuum components.
• SF6 segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2015 to 2022. Low electromagnetic emissions and low noise levels make them suitable for residential areas. SF6 products are suitable for harsh environments such as offshore oil platforms, high altitude locations which may also boost sales for these products.
• Low voltage fuse market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 4.5% from 2014 to 2022. Growing demand in automotive applications for auto-recloser breakers is gaining prominence.
• Power generation application segment accounted for over 20% of the revenue in 2014. It is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period primarily due to a rapid increase in installation of smart grids.
• Asia Pacific circuit breaker and fuse market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. It accounted for over 30% of the industry share in 2014 and is estimated to exhibit high growth prospects over the next seven years.
• Notable companies dominating the industry include ABB Ltd, GE, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and Eaton Corporation. Several legal and regulatory frameworks are anticipated to positively impact the competition.

These devices reduce and manage the electric load on equipment such as home appliances, industrial machinery, IT products and electric tools, thus protecting them from unforeseen power fluctuations arising from situations such as short circuits, overvoltage, and overload. Moreover, increasing usage of circuit breakers and fuses in the automotive industry and rising energy consumption are considered to further raise the demand for these devices over the forecast period.

Furthermore, Asian and African countries have made huge investments to improve electricity infrastructure and provide better power to rural areas thus the market is expected to witness high growth in these regions. Additionally, increasing urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others, is anticipated to further boost the market growth.

Moreover, rising demand for replacing the conventional mechanical and electromechanical devices across manufacturing and industrial sector is anticipated to drive the demand for circuit breaker and fuses over the forecast period. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations delegating the need for advanced transmission and distribution equipment is projected to accentuate circuit breaker and fuse market growth over the next seven years.
