Recloser Global Market Report 2025

The recloser market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2024 to $1.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to government initiatives aimed at grid modernization, incentives for smart infrastructure, the rising frequency of extreme weather events, increased demand for sustainable energy distribution, and efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The recloser market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to goals for reducing energy loss, urbanization and infrastructure development, rising energy demand, aging grid infrastructure, and the global expansion of utility service providers. Key trends during this period include the deployment of smart grids, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into power systems, advancements in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, the development of intelligent reclosers, and the automation of distribution networks.

The growing integration of renewable energy sources is expected to significantly boost the recloser market in the upcoming years. Renewable energy is produced from naturally replenished sources like sunlight, wind, rainfall, and geothermal heat. The adoption of renewables is rising as concerns about climate change intensify, prompting a worldwide shift toward cleaner, low-carbon energy options to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The expansion of renewable energy sources increases the demand for reclosers, which manage the intermittent and decentralized nature of renewable power by automatically isolating faults and restoring service, thereby ensuring grid stability and reliability. For example, in October 2024, a report by the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected that global renewable energy capacity will increase by over 5,500 gigawatts between 2024 and 2030, with China expected to contribute nearly 60% of this growth. Consequently, the rising penetration of renewable energy will drive recloser market growth.

The escalating frequency of power outages is anticipated to propel the recloser market forward. Power outages, which are interruptions in electricity supply caused by faults, equipment failure, or maintenance, result in temporary power loss for consumers. The rise in outages is attributed to the growing occurrence of extreme weather events that damage electrical infrastructure, leading to widespread and prolonged disruptions. Reclosers help minimize outage durations by automatically detecting and clearing temporary faults, enabling quick restoration of power without manual intervention. For instance, in October 2024, according to the US Census Bureau’s 2023 American Housing Survey (AHS), approximately 33.9 million households equivalent to one in four nationwide experienced at least one complete power outage in the preceding year. Additionally, about 70% of these households (around 23.6 million) reported outages lasting six hours or more. Therefore, the increasing frequency of outages will drive demand for reclosers.

Leading companies in the recloser market are concentrating on the development of advanced technologies such as single-phase reclosers to enhance safety. Single-phase reclosers are automatic electrical devices designed to detect and temporarily interrupt faults on a single-phase distribution line, then restore power by reclosing the circuit. For example, in January 2023, NOJA Power, an Australian recloser manufacturer, introduced EcoLink a fuse cut-out mounted single-phase recloser. This live-tank reclosing circuit breaker, with a minimum protection setting of just 1 Amp, can self-power with as little as 0.15 Amp of primary current. Intended to replace traditional fuses, it provides reclosing functionality, supports multiple fuse characteristic protection curves, and complies with standard IEEE and IEC time-current curves. Its main applications include protecting lateral feeders in IEEE four-wire networks, improving reliability on low-current rural lines, and assisting fire mitigation efforts. A notable safety innovation is its unique interlock manual lever, which reduces the risk of external arcing by ensuring the internal vacuum interrupter opens before the device is removed - offering a safer alternative to conventional expulsion drop-out fuses.

A recloser is an automatic high-voltage electrical switch utilized in power distribution systems. Its primary function is to automatically detect and interrupt temporary faults in power lines, then restore power after a short delay. This process helps improve electrical service reliability by avoiding prolonged outages caused by transient issues like lightning strikes or tree branch contacts.

The main categories of reclosers include single-phase reclosers, three-phase reclosers, and triple-single reclosers. A single-phase recloser is designed to operate on individual phases of a power distribution line, enabling only the faulted phase to be interrupted and subsequently restored. It employs various technologies such as hydraulic, electronic, and mechanical reclosers, and comes with different insulation types, including oil-insulated, gas-insulated, and epoxy-insulated reclosers. These devices can be classified as low voltage, medium voltage, or high voltage, and are utilized by a range of end users including utilities, industrial, and commercial sectors.
