Concerns regarding raw material prices may hinder the market growth
Electric component manufacturers require high-quality raw materials to design circuit breaker parts to ensure minimum maintenance and reliable functioning. However, there have been growing concerns associated with the export quotas of volatile raw materials, which has led to an increase in their prices. These concerns regarding the high prices of raw materials may create roadblocks for the global industry expansion.
High-voltage circuit breakers to witness massive popularity
The high voltage segment in the circuit breaker market will reach an annual installation of over 400,000 units by 2030, attributed to substantial rise in industrial and commercial deployments. The need for different circuit breaker types across primary and secondary distribution channels has also increased. This factor, alongside the expansion of T&D (transmission and distribution) networks, will fuel the segment growth.
2500A to 4500A circuit breakers to gain significant traction
The 2500A to 4500A segment is anticipated to depict around 7% CAGR through 2030. The burgeoning adoption of these medium- and high-current circuit breakers is owing to their ease of installation and low costs. Moreover, this product type is also associated with effective corrosion resistance, which is increasing its demand among customers.

Expansion of on-site power generation tech to boost outdoor circuit breaker installation
The outdoor installation segment is poised to hold substantial market share in the coming years. This is credited to the surging installation of on-site power generation technology. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of utility-based power transmission networks will further escalate the demand for circuit breakers for outdoor installation.
Rapid suburban migration to push the residential segment growth
The residential segment accounted for 30% circuit breaker market share in 2021. The escalating usage of electric circuit breakers across the residential sector is attributed to large-scale suburban migration. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and the introduction of favorable regulatory norms will also drive segment development.
Rapid commercial expansion to augment market share from the 70kV to 145kV segment
The 70kV to 145kV segment is expected to account for a major market share during the forecast spell, led by mounting adoption of circuit breakers up to 145kV in the residential sector. Likewise, the rapid commercial expansion in emerging economies will broaden the application scope of 70kV to 145kV circuit breakers.
Product range expansion strategies to push the circuit breaker industry expansion
Some of the key industry players include ABB, Eaton, Toshiba International Corporation, Schneider Electric, Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, GE, and Siemens Energy. These companies are focusing on new product launches and business expansions to strengthen their footprint in the market.
For example, in May 2022, ABB unveiled Formula DIN-Rail, a range of miniature and residual current circuit breakers for the electrical retail industry across India. The product portfolio was intended to offer contemporary design and optimum protection to electrical circuits. This launch also helped the company establish a firm presence in the Indian market.
