Vacuum Interrupter Market Scenario


Vacuum Interrupter Market size is projected to reachUSD 3.64 Billionby 2025, with6.53% CAGRbetween 2019 and 2025.


The major factors driving the growth of the global vacuum interrupter market include the expansion of transmission & distribution networks and the increasing rate of industrialization & urbanization. For instance, in May 2016, the Asian government developed 15-year National Distribution Grid Expansion Plan under the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) support, which covers the technical, financial, and economic aspects of distribution expansion in PNG Power Ltd. Under this plan, the government has set a target of 70% electrification by 2030. However, the demand for uninterrupted power supply from utilities would act as an opportunity for the global vacuum interrupter market.


Key Players


The Key Players operating in the Global Vacuum Interrupter Market areABB (Switzerland),Eaton (Ireland), Siemens (Germany), General Electric (US), LSIS Co. Ltd. (South Korea), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Japan), Toshiba Corporation (Japan), Shaanxi Baoguang Vacuum Electric Device Co., Ltd. (China), Meidensha Corporation (Japan), Wuhan Feite Electric Co., Ltd. (China),Chengdu Xuguang Electronics Co., Ltd. (China),Shaanxi Joyelectric International Co., Ltd. (China), Crompton Greaves Limited (India), and Kirloskar Electric Company (India).


许多主要参与者如ABB、西门子和伊顿are actively focusing on signing contracts and agreements with utilities and industries to supply vacuum interrupter switches and vacuum circuit breakers. For instance, in July 2017, ABB has signed a contract with Network Rail (UK) to supply medium voltage vacuum circuit breakers to upgrade the power infrastructure for its East Coast Main Line power upgrade project. This contract has helped the company expand its business in the UK. However, the lack of existing government policies for vacuum interrupter testing is expected to restrain the growth of the vacuum interrupter market.


The Global Vacuum Interrupter Market has been segmented based on rated voltage, contact structure, application, end-use industry, and region. Based on rated voltage, the global market is segmented into 0–15 kV, 15–30 kV, and above 30 kV. The 0–15 kV segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market and is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This is because electrical interrupter switch included in this voltage range has extensive applications in electricity distribution substations and industries, such as mining and oil & gas. Based on the contact structure, the global market is segmented into flat contact, spiral contact, and axial magnetic/field contact. The spiral contact segment is expected to hold the largest market share and grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Based on application, the global vacuum interrupter market has been segmented into a circuit breaker,load break switch,recloser, contactor, tap changer, and others. The circuit breaker segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market due to the growing demand for electric power transmission and increasing manufacturing industries, infrastructure development, and urbanization in developing countries. Based on end-use industry, the global market is segmented into utilities, oil & gas, mining sector, transportation sector, and others. The utility segment is expected to hold the largest market share and be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due to the need for new electrical gadgets and the increasing demand for electricity and utility services.
