The global market for electrical switches is expected to grow from $16 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $20.8 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

Electric switches are used to supply electricity within circuits by establishing or interrupting connections. They have different residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The types of electrical switches include push-button, toggle, rotary, rocker, slide and limit switches, each of which varies by its operating mechanism and application. Smart switches integrated with IoT and automation technologies are gaining traction due to increasing demand for energy efficiency.

The market for electrical switches is driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, and the growing adoption of smart home technologies. Factors contributing to market growth include growing industrial automation demand and stringent safety regulations. Due to rapid industrialization and urban expansion in India and China, the Asia-Pacific region dominates the global market.
