Increasing infrastructural spending is anticipated to drive the growth of the residential distribution panel market in the coming years. Infrastructural spending encompasses investments in building, maintaining, and upgrading physical and organizational structures, such as roads, bridges, utilities, and public facilities. This increase in spending is fueled by the need to update aging infrastructure, stimulate economic growth, improve public services, and meet evolving societal demands. Residential distribution panels play a critical role in residential infrastructure, ensuring safe and efficient power distribution for modern households. For example, the Office for National Statistics reported that in 2023, infrastructure investment in the UK totaled £13.8 billion ($17.88 billion) in constant prices, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. Thus, rising infrastructure spending is boosting the residential distribution panel market.

Key players in the residential distribution panel market are focusing on technological innovations such as power panel boards to enhance profitability. These distribution boards are responsible for controlling and distributing electrical power within buildings. For instance, in November 2023, ABB Ltd. introduced the Protecta power panel board, a product designed to ensure stable and reliable power distribution while enabling smart electrical distribution within various types of buildings. The Protecta power panel board serves as an electrical distribution system supporting flexible power distribution within facilities. It is engineered to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical circuits by providing a centralized point for managing and distributing power to different devices and equipment. The market for residential distribution panels has witnessed increasing demand for advanced safety features and flexibility in power management.

In January 2024, U.S.-based manufacturing company Resideo Technologies Inc. acquired Snap One for approximately $1.4 billion.
