Based on product, the ACB segment crossed USD 694.5 million in 2022. The swift uptake of renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power, necessitates dependable and efficient electrical infrastructure. Within renewable energy systems, low voltage Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) play a vital role in safeguarding and managing electrical circuits to ensure safe and effective operations. Low voltage ACBs that incorporate advanced features such as intelligent energy management systems, power monitoring, and load shedding capabilities are particularly appealing for energy-efficient applications. This transition toward renewable energy installations is a key driver for the increased demand for ACBs in this sector.
Based on end use, the residential segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 10.7% through 2032. The substantial migration of people to large-scale suburban areas, coupled with supportive regulatory initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for residents, has resulted in urbanization and commercial growth across the region. The expanding population in cities and measures to provide electricity to remote, off-grid areas have contributed to a notable increase in energy consumption. Consequently, the escalating energy demand, driven by the need for efficient power distribution networks, will have a positive impact on the distribution component industry as a whole.
