Market Trends of Circuit Breaker & Fuses Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Circuit Breaker & Fuses Market according to our research experts:
Medium Voltage Circuit Breakers are Thought to Drive the Market's Growth
- Medium voltage circuit breaker comprises the significant market share of the circuit breaker & fuses market with extraordinary investment in the power transmission and distribution sector. Medium voltage circuit breakers are the ones that work on voltage levels around 400 volts to 15kV approximately. The reason they are named so is that very low voltage conditions are not proper for them to operate correctly, neither a very high voltage assists them to perform their operation perfectly. So a medium voltage level around this figure is common for them to work on.
- The Medium voltage circuit breaker segment of the market is driven by the growing demand for medium voltage fuses in transformers, T&D networks, circuit and motor protection, along with industrial applications and renewable energy generation and distribution. These types of circuit breakers are made of an alloy of copper, silver, or tin, and coordinates better with transformers and distribution networks.
- One thing that is distinctive about the medium voltage circuit breakers is that unlike most of the models of these breakers, they can be managed manually as well. The idea behind this manual operation is that since they can also work on voltage levels below 600 volts, and this thing provides them the incentive to be manually managed. It should be kept here in thought that only the circuit breakers which can be operated on voltages lower than 600 volts can be manually operated.
APAC to Dominate the Circuit Breaker & Fuses Market
- The growth in construction activities coupled with a growing adoption rate of renewable power generation sources such as solar and wind led the demand of the market in the APAC region. Furthermore, governments in countries like China, India, Australia, etc. have taken initiative regarding the development of electricity networks, which in turn, escalating the demand for the market in the APAC region.
- Apart from that, due to factor such as growth in end-user industries along with growing demand for electricity due to rapid urbanization is expected to contribute to the market growth in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period. Extensive growth in end-user segments such as the petrochemicals sector, oil & gas sector, steel and cement sector is anticipated to boost demand for circuit breakers and fuses in the region.
