The surge protection devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. During the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by increasing urbanization and infrastructure development. Other factors include a stronger emphasis on workplace safety, the expansion of smart grid installations, growing demand for data center protection, and rising residential construction activities. Key trends in this period include advancements in surge protection technology, enhanced integration with smart home systems, development of compact and efficient devices, innovation in multi-functional protection solutions, and improvements in monitoring and diagnostic features.

The increasing adoption of electronic systems is expected to drive growth in the surge protection devices market. Electronic systems consist of devices that work together to control and manage electrical signals for various tasks. Demand for these systems is rising due to the growing use of smart and connected devices, which enable better communication and automation in daily life. Surge protection devices help safeguard electronic systems by preventing damage from sudden voltage spikes, ensuring reliable and safe operation. For example, in May 2023, the Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade organization, reported that Japan’s consumer electronic equipment production reached $217.83 million (32,099 million yen), a 127% increase compared to May 2022.

Companies in the surge protection devices market are developing innovations such as external light-emitting diode (LED) indicators to enhance system protection and monitoring. External LED indicators provide visual signals showing device status and alert users when maintenance is required. In June 2023, Littelfuse, a US-based electronics company, launched its NEMA-style SPDN series, designed to protect equipment from microsecond transient overvoltage events. These devices include line-to-neutral, line-to-ground, and neutral-to-ground protection in a compact design, stacked metal oxide varistors (MOVs) for transient voltage protection, UL 1283 filtering to reduce interference, and thermally protected MOVs with external LED indicators for easier maintenance and reliable industrial performance.

In February 2023, Legrand S.A., a France-based provider of electrical and digital building infrastructure, acquired Clamper for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Legrand’s presence in the Brazilian market and expands its surge protection device portfolio. Clamper Indústria e Comércio S.A., based in Brazil, manufactures surge protection devices.

The countries covered in the surge protection devices market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

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 rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.

Surge protection devices are specialized electrical components designed to protect equipment and systems from sudden voltage spikes and transient surges caused by lightning, power outages, or switching operations. They work by detecting excess voltage and safely diverting it away from sensitive components, preventing damage and reducing downtime. These devices help maintain stable operation and play a vital role in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of electrical and electronic systems across various applications.

The main types of surge protection devices include hard-wired, plug-in, line cord, and power control devices. Hard-wired devices are physically connected or permanently configured, rather than being programmable or adjustable via software. They are available in multiple power ratings, such as 0-50 kA, 50.1-100 kA, 100.1-200 kA, and 200.1 kA and above. These devices are used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications by end users including commercial complexes, data centers, manufacturing units, medical facilities, residential buildings, telecommunications, and transportation sectors.
