Global Busbar Protection Market - Analysis by Voltage, Impedance, End-user, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2018 - 2023)

The busbar protection market is likely to grow in the near future, owing to increasing demand for power and rising need to augment the power infrastructure across the world. The power transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure is undergoing massive change on account of aging infrastructure in the regions which have remained underdeveloped. Apart from that, modernization of power infrastructure is envisaged, globally, on account of development of technological advancements pertaining to power systems.

The expansion in grid connectivity is being stressed upon in many countries in order to integrate the off-grid communities with grid electricity. Apart from that, off-grid power generation, especially in wind power segment, is growing at a robust pace, which is expected to provide a huge impetus to busbar protection market during the forecast period. The development of new power generation facilities requires availability of power evacuation systems. The growth in development of power plants is expected to foster demand for busbar protection across the world.

Technological Advancements is driving the Busbar market

Globally, the technological advancements pertaining to power systems is providing a huge impetus to the busbar protection market. The digital protective relay, which includes software-based protection algorithms for the detection of electrical faults is used as busbar protection system. Moreover, the development of digital protection relay has emerged as one of the major trends in the busbar protection market. Apart from that the technological advancements have led to integration of IT system with conventional power engineering which has resulted in replacement of old infrastructure with new ones, thus, fuelling the busbar demand.

Utilities Sector - Major End-user

The utilities sector is the major end user segment for busbar protection system owing to increasing development of power infrastructure. Utilities are major owner of power assets across the world, which makes it the major end user segment for busbar protection system. The utility companies have focused on upgrading the power infrastructure, which is expected to drive the busbar market. Moreover, the growth in development of power infrastructure i.e. generation, transmission and distribution assets by utility companies is expected to drive the market for busbar protection system in the coming years.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market Growth

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market owing to increasing demand for electricity in the region. India has planned to build the longest 800kV ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission line, which will have a length of 1,830 kilometers. The development of infrastructure and industrial growth coupled with rising disposable income in the region has led to surge in demand of electricity. The growth in population has led to increased urbanization in the region, which has led to growth in demand for electricity, which, in turn, has led to increase in requirement of power infrastructure. China and India are the major developing countries in the region which offers massive market opportunities for bus bar protection deployment.
