According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Vacuum Circuit Breaker Market," The vacuum circuit breaker market was valued at $0.9 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $1.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2032.
A vacuum circuit breaker is an electrical switching device that is used to interrupt or cut off the flow of electric current in a circuit. It employs a vacuum as the arc quenching medium to extinguish the electric arc that forms when the contacts of the breaker open during switching operations or in the event of a fault. Vacuum circuit breakers are widely used in power distribution systems, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and renewable energy installations to ensure the safe and reliable operation of electrical systems by protecting against overcurrent, short circuits, and other electrical faults.
The vacuum circuit breakers market is anticipated to expand significantly during the forecast period owing to maintenance of free vacuum circuit breakers, grid modernization, increase in adoption of grid-connected renewable energy sources, and surge in demand from the power sector for better and more reliable performance. In addition, during the forecast period, the vacuum circuit breakers market is anticipated to benefit from rise in infrastructural developments. On the other hand, growth in the vacuum circuit breakers market is expected to be restrained as the price of the raw materials is high, which makes it uneconomical to manufacture for voltages exceeding 38 kV, and possibility of overvoltage during switching.
The vacuum circuit breakers market is segmented on the basis of voltage, installation location, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of voltage, the market is bifurcated into medium and high. On the basis of installation location, the market is segregated into indoor and outdoor. On the basis of end-use industry, the market is divided into residential, commercial, industrial, and utilities. Region-wise, the vacuum circuit breakers market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). Asia-Pacific remain significant participants in the vacuum circuit breakers market.
The key players profiled in the report include: ABB Ltd, ARTECHE, Eaton, Fuji Electric, Huayi Electric Co., Ltd., Legrand, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation. Market players have adopted various strategies such as product launch, product development, and acquisition to expand their foothold in the vacuum circuit breakers market.
