A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device designed to protect individuals from electric shocks by monitoring the flow of electricity in a circuit. It detects any imbalance between the hot and neutral wires, which may indicate a potential ground fault, and quickly shuts off the power to prevent electric shocks and electrical fires. Many electrical codes mandate the use of GFCIs to enhance safety.
The main types of GFCIs include receptacle, portable, cord-connected, and other variations. A receptacle GFCI is built into electrical outlets to provide protection. GFCIs are distributed through both online and offline channels and are used in various applications such as underwater pool lighting, kitchen and bathroom receptacles, outdoor and garage receptacles, utility sinks, wet bar sinks, garden equipment, and construction sites.
The ground fault circuit interrupter market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ground fault circuit interrupter market statistics, including ground fault circuit interrupter industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ground fault circuit interrupter market share, detailed ground fault circuit interrupter market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ground fault circuit interrupter industry. This ground fault circuit interrupter market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The ground fault circuit interrupter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.39 billion in 2024 to $2.56 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for power tools and outdoor equipment, growth in residential construction activities, government initiatives promoting electrical safety awareness, growing demand in data centers, and alignment of GFCIs installations with sustainable development goals.
The ground fault circuit interrupter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the implementation of strict safety regulations and codes, increasing construction and renovation activities worldwide, increasing focus on energy-efficient buildings and appliances, increasing adoption of GFCIs in healthcare facilities, and adoption of international standards and certifications for GFCIs. Major trends in the forecast period include continuous innovation in GFCIs technology, infrastructure development in emerging economies, integration of GFCI technology directly into electrical appliances, advancements in material science, and integration with home automation systems.
The rising number of electrical accidents is expected to drive the growth of the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) market. Electrical accidents, which involve injuries or harm from electricity-related hazards, are increasing due to factors such as the growing complexity of electrical systems, aging infrastructure, and inadequate maintenance or safety practices. GFCIs play a crucial role in preventing these accidents by disconnecting power when a ground fault is detected, thus reducing the risk of electric shocks and electrocution. For example, data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicated that the number of residential electrical malfunction fires in the US increased from 24,200 in 2021 to 26,100 in 2022, marking a rise of about 7.9%. Consequently, the growing number of electrical accidents is fueling the expansion of the GFCI market.
Companies in the GFCI market are focusing on advanced product development to stay competitive, such as introducing IP69K-rated products. An IP69K-rated GFCI, specifically a 20A model, is designed to offer exceptional protection against water and dust ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial and outdoor conditions. For instance, Molex LLC, a US-based consumer electronics company, launched the Super-Safeway GFCI in January 2023. This portable device is notable for being the first GFCI to achieve an IP69K rating, which ensures superior protection against high-pressure water and dust. The device features double insulation, excellent sealing, and a durable, impact-resistant design, making it ideal for industrial environments requiring high safety standards to prevent electrical shocks and equipment damage.
In February 2022, Infinite Reality, Inc., a US-based technology firm, merged with Universal Security Instruments, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This merger will result in Infinite Reality's shareholders becoming the majority owners of Universal Security Instruments' common stock upon the transaction's completion. Universal Security Instruments, Inc. is a US-based provider of ground fault circuit interrupters.
