Circuit Monitoring Global Market Report 2025

The circuit monitoring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.15 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart grids, growing need for predictive maintenance, rising electricity consumption, increasing focus on sustainability, and growing industrial automation.

The circuit monitoring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of renewable energy, growing importance of data analytics, rise in industrial infrastructure development, rise in connected devices, increasing focus on energy optimization, and rising demand for energy storage systems. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in IoT and sensor technology, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, integration with cloud computing, integration with building management systems, development of energy-efficient monitoring systems, and shift towards automated and intelligent systems.

The forecast of 8.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher tariffs on smart metering Integrated Circui(Ics) and communication modules from China and Taiwan, increasing costs for energy management systems. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing adoption of renewable energy sources is expected to drive the expansion of the circuit monitoring market. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, offer sustainable and clean power. This shift toward renewables is fueled by concerns about climate change, the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, and the increasing need for sustainability. The widespread adoption of these energy sources is supported by innovations, government policies, and cost reductions. Circuit monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring grid stability, detecting faults in real time, optimizing energy distribution, and enhancing system performance as renewable energy sources become more integrated. For example, in January 2024, the US Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. solar power generation is expected to grow by 75%, from 163 billion kWh in 2023 to 286 billion kWh by 2025, while wind power generation is projected to increase by 11%, from 430 billion kWh in 2023 to 476 billion kWh by 2025. As renewable energy adoption increases, the circuit monitoring market is poised for growth.

Companies in the circuit monitoring market are focusing on innovations such as compact switchgear to improve efficiency, optimize space usage, and enhance the reliability of circuit monitoring systems across various applications. Compact switchgear is a space-saving electrical system designed to control and protect circuits, making it ideal for installations where space is limited without compromising performance. For example, in May 2022, Schneider Electric SE, a France-based automation machinery manufacturer, introduced SureSeT MV switchgear and EvoPacT circuit breakers. This combination boosts operational efficiency with compact designs, digital monitoring, and predictive maintenance features. EvoPacT's 25% smaller size and 40-year lifespan improve space utilization and equipment durability. The built-in sensors and wireless capabilities allow for remote management, early problem detection, and performance optimization through cloud services, all contributing to improved safety and uptime.

In July 2022, Eaton Corporation plc, an Ireland-based power management company, acquired a 50% stake in the circuit breaker business of Jiangsu Huineng Electric Co. Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition strengthens Eaton’s position in the market, broadens its circuit breaker offerings, and enhances its ability to meet the increasing demand for advanced electrical infrastructure and power management solutions. Jiangsu Huineng Electric Co. Ltd. is a China-based company that manufactures low-voltage electrical equipment, including circuit breakers.

Circuit monitoring refers to the process of collecting and analyzing electrical data from circuits to support power management and enhance energy efficiency. It is used to track, analyze, and optimize electrical performance by measuring voltage, current, and power consumption while detecting faults in real time.

The main product types in circuit monitoring include circuit breakers, contactors, relays, fuses, circuit protection modules, motor protection relays, residual current devices, power meters, and smart circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are designed to automatically interrupt the flow of electricity during faults or overloads, protecting circuits from damage and ensuring safe operation. Voltage ratings for these devices are categorized as low voltage (up to 1000V), medium voltage (1000V to 33kV), and high voltage (33kV and above). These products are used in a variety of applications, such as industrial automation, power generation and distribution, building automation, consumer electronics, transportation, medical equipment, and the oil and gas sector. Key end-users include manufacturers, utilities, commercial and residential buildings, and data centers.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
