The global circuit breakers market was valued at $9.8 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $14.8 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.30% from 2019 to 2026.
Circuit breakers are programmed automatic electric switches which are utilized to protect an electrical circuit from harm or damage by excess current from an overload or short circuit. The basic function of circuit breakers is to stop the flow of current after a fault is detected. In opposite to a fuse, which works once and after that must be replaced, circuit breakers can be used for continuing typical activity. The function of circuit breakers is to shut down the electric supply in case of excess current, overload or short circuit. After the fault is solved, the system starts with normal conditions for providing good quality power to the output ends. Circuit breakers play a significant role in electric power distribution and transmission in communication circuits, automobiles, telecommunication, computers, industrial machinery & equipment, consumer electronics, and other applications.
Factors such as growth in renewable power generation, rise in residential projects, increase in access to electricity in developing countries, continued growth of construction & developmental activities, rapid growth in industrialization, expansion of smart grid networks and surge in demand for power across the globe drive the global circuit breakers market growth. However, increase in competition from the unorganized sector of the circuit breakers and stringent environmental & safety regulations for SF6 circuit breakers limit the growth of the market. Increase in HVDC transmission, aging power infrastructure, and growing smart cities create opportunities for market growth.
