Global Circuit Breaker and Fuse Market is valued at approximately USD 15.05 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.4% over the forecast period 2023-2030. A circuit breaker and a fuse are both electrical safety devices used to protect electrical circuits from excessive current or short circuits. They serve a similar purpose but differ in their operation and resetability. A fuse is a simple device that contains a thin strip or wire made of a material that melts when exposed to excessive current. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the fuse’s rated value, the strip or wire melts, breaking the circuit and disconnecting the power supply. Fuses are typically one-time-use devices and need to be replaced after they have blown. They come in various ratings to match the current-carrying capacity of different circuits. The market for circuit breakers and fuses is anticipated to grow due to the rising demand for upgrading to efficient networks and connection for renewable energy sources. The need for advanced equipment in the electronics, automotive, and telecommunications sectors is growing throughout the predicted period due to increased safety concerns around short circuits and damage caused by power fluctuations. The main factors that is anticipated to propel expansion in the circuit breaker & fuse market include also rising construction and development activity, expanding renewable power generation projects, and expanding access to energy in emerging nations.
Additionally, the growing investments in power generation from renewable energy sources are acting as a major driver for the circuit breaker and fuse market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), globally, in 2020, an estimated USD 281 billion will be invested globally in renewable energy production. Global investments in the renewable energy sector in the power sector totaled USD 308 billion in 2018. A specialized protective system is necessary for renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. As a result, so as to link power generating stations to switchyards and the electrical grid, a circuit breaker is needed. It is among the most crucial and significant parts of an electrical system. A strong and reliable transmission and distribution network is now required due to rising energy consumption and growing worries about the reliability of renewable energy sources, both of which are driving the worldwide industry. However, A circuit breaker is made up of a number of parts, including switching mechanisms and diodes. Because some of these components use pricey metals like silver and gold, the cost of raw materials is considerable. Therefore, the high cost of raw materials stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Circuit Breaker and Fuse Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to presence of key market players, and rising use of alternative energy generation technologies like wind and solar, which demand significant expenditures in distribution and transmission. Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period as the demand for circuit breakers and fuses is expected to rise in the region due to significant expansion in end-user categories such the oil and gas industry, petrochemicals industry, steel industry, and cement industry.
