Market Trends of Asia Pacific Safety Relays and Timers Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Safety Relays & Timers Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Power Consumption to Drive the Market Growth
- With the energy usage in the Asia Pacific region rising steadily, power distribution networks continue to grow in size and complexity. Electricity demand has soared, particularly in the industrial sector. With the rising influence of industrialization across many countries in the region, improving the existing electrical setup has gained considerable traction.
- In response, in May 2021, ABB is launched REX610, a new addition to its Relion product family designed to support safe, smart, and sustainable electrification. REX610 makes protecting grids, industrial processes, and people more effortless as it draws on ABB's heritage of configurable multifunctional relays and protection algorithms to create a solution that provides optimal protection for all basic power distribution applications. It is also futureproofed for an evolving grid. As the market shifts and requirements change, the modules can be easily added, removed, or replaced without changing the entire relay.
- Further, the shift of manufacturing industries to Asia, the growing dispensable income among the middle class, and the developments in South East Asia, including the 'Make in India' campaign by the Indian government, are bound to increase the power consumption of the region considerably. Further, the Indian government's aim of achieving 'Power for All' has sped up capacity addition in the country.
- According to the data released by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme (MoSPI), India's index of industrial production (IIP) grew by 3.2% in October 2021, as compared to the previous year. The manufacturing sector output jumped 2% y-o-y, and electricity generation grew 3.1% y-o-y in October 2021.
- The increasing manufacturing, construction, and mining activities, coupled with rising power generation and consumption in the region, are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the safety relays and timers market.

The Rising Demand in Various End-user Industries to Drive the Market
- Automotive relays are used in harnesses and box modules throughout a vehicle, including rear and front, passenger and engine areas, body control, powertrain, roof, seat, door, and fan modules. The automotive relay types include plug-in, PCB, high-current, and high-voltage, including automotive contactors. With the increase in automotive production in the Asia Pacific region, the demand for safety relays is expected to rise.
- According to The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), China produced 19.99 million passenger cars in 2020, followed by Japan with 6.96 million. Further, the number of passenger cars sold in the Asia Pacific region totaled 35.36 million in 2019 and 32 million in 2020. Also, the rising demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, and technological advancements in-vehicle electronics, are driving the demand for safety relays in automobiles.
- Further, safety relays and timers are used in controlling, starting, and protecting circuits in the oil and gas sector. The industrial timers are suitable for material handling, machine tools, and process control in various process machines.
- Due to the significant expansion in offshore oil and gas exploration activities, the deployment of process equipment has significantly increased in the region. According to Baker Hughes, the Asia Pacific region had 190 oil and gas rigs as of October 2021, of which 70 were offshore rigs.
- Safety relays are increasingly being used during pumping and storage in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Increasing chemical and petrochemical plants boosts the safety relays and timers market.
