Air Circuit Breaker Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Air Circuit Breaker Market
The air circuit breaker market size was valued at USD 3.24 billion in 2019, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 7.17 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.31% during the forecast period of 2020-2027.
The COVID-19 outbreak affects the expansion of the air circuit breaker market because of degrading industrial costs, a slowdown in grid upgrade programs and an economic decline. Reduced power consumption from the industrial and commercial sectors has led to the closure of power plants in different areas. This trend is anticipated to slow down the air circuit breaker market growth in the future years.
The growing interest in renewable power generation encourages the air circuit breaker market share by boosting awareness and favourable governmental policies. The EIA has used data to estimate that renewables comprised 28% of the global power in 2018 and will be valued at 49% in 2050. International governments are establishing green energy policies to reduce emissions and achieve the Paris Agreement to reduce temperature increase, increasing the use of renewable energy.
Besides, increasing spending on industrial applications has led to the need for ACBs in the production and processing industries. According to the World Investment Report in 2018, Asia Pacific was the largest FDI recipient with USD 476 billion in 2017 from China and Singapore. This boost in industrial investment has led to the expansion of ACB deployment across different manufacturing and end-use sectors.
