HD Pro segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period
The need for more effective circuit breaker devices that are extremely precise and trustworthy is eventually rising due to rising residential and commercial development activities worldwide and increased desire for better electrical connectivity. For instance, in September 2022, Siemens have successfully received a UL listing for their single pole solid-state circuit breaker. By lowering the risk of arc flashes, this circuit breaker makes electricity safer. It also makes power more controllable by enabling remote control and operation of specific electrical circuits.
HD Pro segment is estimated to grow at a high CAGR during the projected period owing to the rising residential and commercial activities worldwide. These type of circuit protectors are a necessary component of both commercial and residential construction settings due to their capacity to safeguard equipment against high voltage shocks. For instance, in April 2022, Leviton unveiled their new SmartlockPro Self-Test GFCI Combination USB Type A/Type C In-Wall Charger. This gadget combines Leviton GFCI technology with two very powerful USB ports to give maximum power for quicker charging and up to two times more power.
Power generation segment accounted for the highest market share in 2022
Power generation segment held the dominant position. Circuit breakers, fuses, and overvoltage protection devices are in demand as a result of rising energy demand from the commercial and industrial sectors and a trend toward the use of green energy, which is expected to accelerate market growth. Additionally, it is anticipated that increasing consumer demand for reliable, consistent, and flexible electricity would support market expansion.
For instance, in March 2022, the first 420 kV, 63 kA g3 gas-insulated substation (GIS) circuit-breaker prototype in the world was exhibited by GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions. The revolutionary gas-insulating and switching technology known as GE's g3 is the foundation of this new circuit-breaker. In 2023, GE expects to begin selling its 420 kV fully g3 gas-insulated substation (GIS), which comes with the g3 circuit-breaker.
The HVAC segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Climate change is responsible for the expansion of HVAC systems. Consumer interest is being piqued by the introduction of new energy-efficient HVAC system solutions by manufacturers. The sector growth is anticipated to be supported by the rising installation of new HVAC systems. Additionally, the growing urbanization in the developing regions is anticipated to fuel sector expansion.
Original equipment manufacturers segment dominated the market during 2022
The OEM segment held the largest market share in the global market, in 2022, since many goods require circuit protection for dependable and safe operation. Government restrictions that are strict on quality standards force OEMs to concentrate on producing goods that function dependably and securely in accordance with industry standards. For instance, in August 2022, the first 420 kV eco-efficient circuit breaker was introduced by Hitachi Energy. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a greenhouse gas, is eliminated using a revolutionary technique in the company’s EconiQ high-voltage portfolio. The EconiQ 420 kV circuit-breaker represents a significant turning point in the ability to carry enormous amounts of power over long distances while removing considerable quantities of SF6.
The wholesale segment is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. Wholesalers create a strong and well-known network of distributors that serve the needs of customers all over the world. Commercial activities were halted as a result of COVID-19, which resulted in significant losses. As a result, firms are now concentrating on restructuring their distribution operations to make up for the losses, which are anticipated to boost the target segment's growth. By offering a large selection of goods at low rates and delivering technical knowledge and assistance, wholesalers provide businesses an easy and affordable option to buy the equipment they need.
