China Expected to Dominate the Market
China has been experiencing rapid economic growth due to its significant manufacturing sector, which is resulting in increased electricity demand and consumption.
In 2020, the electricity consumption in China stood at 7,510 TWh compared to 4,702.6 TWh in 2011. This consumption was higher than in any other country in the region. This increase in the consumption of electricity has led to an increase in demand for equipment necessary for the management of electricity during the generation, transmission, and distribution stages, such as vacuum circuit breakers.
China is also one of the largest markets globally for electric vehicles. In 2020, the battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales volume stood at 931.29 thousand units compared to a meager 1.09 thousand units in 2010. This increase in the number of EVs is accompanied by an increase in the number of electric charging stations that employ various equipment to manage electricity, including vacuum circuit breakers.
Furthermore, China is also witnessing rapid adoption of grid-connected renewable energy, which requires vacuum circuit breakers for the effective management of electricity. In 2020, the installed renewable energy capacity stood at 894.88 GW compared to 233.26 GW in 2010.
Considering the abovementioned points, China is likely to dominate the market studied during the forecast period.
