Power Distribution Component Market - Forecasts from 2021 to 2026

Power distribution component refers to equipment which is used to regulate distribution of electric power from transmission frameworks to particular end use equipment or consumers. A real world scenario would include the components used to regulate distribution of power to various machines in a factory or to use various systems in a car. They have a critical role to play not only in the distribution of power but also to ensure safety and protection of end use equipment and personnel operating it. Designed to distribute power, these components are capable of handling high and medium voltage and distributing it according to the power demand of the end use equipment.

The rise in the demand of power distribution components is propelled due to the need of effective transmission and distribution control systems needed for refurbishing old electric systems and the addition of such components to prevent systems failures or accidents in electric systems. With industrialization, the need for such components is ever increasing, especially in the developing economies. The fiscal & regulatory restructuring across the large-scale industries combined with administrative and financial rebuilding has boosted the demand for such components. Being economical, adaptable and having wide application, these components have wide relevance not only for industries and institutions but for individual consumers as well. Some of the widely used power distribution components are switchgear, switchboard, distribution panel, motor control Panel among others. While having various applications, components such as switchgear are used to switch devices on or off and can be used in the control of low, medium, or high voltage power distribution, while also having new age applications like being used on cryptocurrency farms for mining cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

With rapid digitisation across industries the need for power distribution components is bound to grow, however, despite the components themselves being economical, the installation costs of these components remains high acting as a restraint to the market growth and more widespread adoption. Also being quite large in size, limited space may hinder the component’s operational capability and in turn effect the market growth.
