The global load break switch market is estimated to be USD 2.32 Billion in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.16%, from 2018 to 2023, to reach a market size of USD 3.12 Billion by 2023. The market is driven by factors such as refurbishment of aging electrical infrastructure and increasing investment in power distribution sector. The growing renewable-based power generation is expected to boost the demand for load break switches. The emerging markets in Asia Pacific present a great opportunity for the load break switch market due to significant government initiatives to promote renewable energy generation and refurbishment of the aging electrical infrastructure.
The report segments the load break switch, by type, into gas-insulated, vacuum, air-insulated, and oil-immersed. The gas-insulated segment is estimated to lead the load break switch in 2018. It is also projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the features such as easy installation, long life cycle, and high electrical & mechanical endurance. In Asia Pacific, the major demand for gas-insulated load break switches is from the electric utilities. This would boost the overall gas-insulated market.
Based on installation, the outdoor segment accounted for the largest market size in 2017. Outdoor switches can also be deployed with outdoor distribution transformers rating up to 36 kV. These switches come with flexible installation and mounting configurations, which include pole top, mid-pole horizontal, and mid-pole vertical. These factors are expected to drive the outdoor segment of the load break switch, by installation.
The load break switch market has been analyzed on the basis of six regions, namely, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to lead the global load break switch market by 2023. The market size in this region can be attributed to the increasing focus on the power distribution sector, of which load break switch is a part. Countries such as China, Japan, and India are the key markets for load break switches in Asia Pacific. The refurbishment of aging electrical infrastructure in the region is expected to drive the market in Asia Pacific.
The declining investments by oil & gas companies have adversely affected the demand for medium -voltage equipment used in the power distribution network as they are used in the oil & gas industry, where substations and transformers are located remotely for power distribution. Due to declining investments, no new projects are carried out in the oil & gas industry. Hence, cancellation of new oil & gas projects would result in no new oil & gas plants, wherein medium-voltage products such as load break switches are deployed. Hence, this would result in a decline in the market for oil & gas end-users.
The key players in the load break switch market include GE (US), Siemens (Germany), Schneider (France), Eaton (Ireland), and ABB (Switzerland). New product launches was the most commonly adopted strategy by the top players in the market from 2013 to 2017. It was followed by contracts & agreements, and investments & expansions, and mergers & acquisitions.
