Relays Global Market Report 2024

Relays serve as electric switches utilizing electromagnetism to convert small electrical stimuli into larger currents. These devices enable the making and breaking of circuit contacts through a signal, allowing for automatic switching ON or OFF without human intervention.

The primary types of relays include latching relays, solid-state relays, automotive relays, overload protection relays, electromechanical relays, and others. A latching relay is one that maintains its contact position even after the control power is removed. This type of relay allows users to control a circuit with a single pulse to the relay control circuit. Relays operate across various voltage ranges, including low, medium, and high. They find applications in diverse sectors such as military, industrial automation, electronics, and are utilized by utilities, industrial entities, railways, and other end-users.

The relays market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $6.86 billion in 2023 to $7.05 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be ascribed to the rise in renewable capacity additions, the embracing of the IEC61850 standard for substation automation, the substitution of electromechanical and static relays with numeric relays, encouraging government initiatives, and the economic growth observed in emerging markets.

The relays market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be attributed to the increased power consumption, the implementation of smart power grids, the rising adoption of electric vehicles, and the growing acceptance of vehicular safety technology. Key trends expected in the forecast period include investments in eco-efficient solutions to minimize environmental impact and achieve sustainability, a focus on electromagnetic relays to ensure optimal resource utilization, the development and promotion of specialized relays for specific industries, the creation of multipurpose relays, and an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions to expand market share and access a broader consumer base.

The relays market is anticipated to experience growth in the forecast period, driven by increased investments in global solar energy projects. In solar energy projects, relays play a crucial role in disconnecting high DC voltages. For example, in September 2021, the U.S Department of Agriculture announced a substantial investment of $464 million to enhance renewable energy infrastructure, catering to businesses, agricultural producers, and rural communities. This initiative aims to reduce energy expenses and aligns with the rising demand for solar energy projects. Relay manufacturers are adapting to this demand by offering relays specifically designed for solar applications, such as those provided by Fujitsu.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EV) is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the relays market. Electric vehicles, powered by one or more electric motors and relying on electricity stored in batteries, employ relays for tasks such as controlling battery charging and discharging, managing power distribution, and regulating other electrical systems. Due to their high efficiency and fast switching capabilities, relays play a vital role in supporting the functionality of electric vehicles. According to the International Energy Agency, global electric vehicle sales are projected to reach 14 million in 2023, indicating a substantial increase from the 10 million sales recorded in 2022. This surge in electric vehicle adoption is a key driver for the growth of the relays market.

The automotive sector is increasingly adopting plug-in relays due to their lightweight nature compared to electromechanical relays. These relays exhibit the capability to handle high-rated current and operating voltage similar to electromechanical relays. Within the automotive industry, plug-in relays find applications in various components such as electrically heated catalytic converters, heater controls, windscreen wipers, motors and pumps, and body electronics such as door locks, seat controls, and window lifters. Omron, for instance, offers a range of plug-in automotive relays (20A to 70A) utilized in applications such as arter motors, heater controls, windscreen wipers, and any scenario requiring high continuous current switching.

Major companies in the relays market are prioritizing innovation in their product offerings, including the development of high-capacity storage systems, to deliver reliable services to customers. A high-capacity electrical storage system refers to technology capable of storing a significant amount of electrical energy for later use. For example, in May 2022, Omron Corporation introduced the G9KB, a high-capacity printed circuit board (PCB) power relay designed to handle up to 50 amperes (A) and 600 volts of direct current (VDC). This relay is employed in energy storage systems, power conditioning, and electric vehicle charging, demonstrating low initial contact resistance and low coil power consumption.

In May 2021, Standex Electronics, a US-based electronics component manufacturer, completed the acquisition of American Relays, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is aimed at reinforcing Standex Electronics' position in the North American relay market. American Relays, Inc., a US-based company specializing in the manufacturing of reed switch-based relays, enhances Standex Electronics' capabilities and market presence in the relay industry.
