Automatic Power Factor Controller Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Active APFCs and Passive APFCs), Component (Displays, Relays, Microcontrollers and Other Components), Installation Type (Wall-Mounted APFC Panels and Self-Standing APFC Panels), End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automatic Power Factor Controller Market is accounted for $4.78 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.01 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. An automatic power factor controller is a device that is programmed to automatically boost the output power when the power factor declines under a certain level. Demand for electric power is rising constantly. Also, need to build a system for automatic improvement in the power factor is increasing, as low power factor puts excessive pressure on power grids and transmission lines. This need can be fulfilled by using automatic power factor controllers. There is also an increasing demand for power management devices in the industries; hence ultimately a need for Automatic Power Factor Controller.
Market Dynamics
Driver:
Growing demand across end use industries
One of the primary reasons driving the growth of the automatic power factor controller market is the increased demand for automatic power factor controllers across a wide range of end-user industries. The sector has a significant demand for power management equipment, which is expected to drive the global market for automated power factor controllers. Furthermore, the automatic power factor controller is becoming more extensively adopted in industries such as business, manufacturing, commercial, military, and utilities, which may drive the global market's growth throughout the forecast period.
Restraint
Various hazards in power factor controller
The installation of the power factor controller poses certain additional risks. When connected to the system, automatic power factor controllers produce a parallel resonance circuit between their capacitors and the system's network inductance. Overvoltage tripping of drives and excessive voltage distortion are just a few of the key concerns that might occur from wave components close to the amplification of the parallel resonance. Another typical problem is insulation failure in motors, transformers, and wires. These risks may limit the demand for automatic power factor controllers.
Opportunity
Investments and product launches
The increasing investments by manufacturers in innovations and improvement are expected to provide profitable chances for the market, which would further accelerate the growth rate of the automatic power factor controller market. Furthermore, the increasing number of product releases and other developments by market participants provide several growth opportunities within the industry. Additionally, factors such as rising industrialization and urbanisation, combined with an increase in infrastructure development investments, will boost overall market expansion during the projection period.
Threat
High maintenance costs
The high maintenance cost of autonomous power factor controllers is a significant impediment to industry growth. Repairing the old one is not financially advantageous due to its high cost. The cost of creating and manufacturing APFC panels is significant because they require large-capacity capacitors and inductors for low-frequency filtering. Commercial and industrial equipment is expensive and must be purchased once. The global market for automated power factor controllers is being hampered by high maintenance costs.
Covid-19 Impact
The outbreak of COVID-19 has a significant influence on the market for automatic power factor controllers. Also, consumer demand has decreased as people have grown more concerned with cutting things that are not absolutely required from their budgets as a result of the epidemic's negative effects on the general economic situation of the majority of people. Throughout the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are expected to have an impact on the growth trajectory of the global market for automatic power factor controllers.
The Active PFCAs segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Active PFCAs segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Use of Active Automated Power Factor Controller by various industries such as commercial, manufacturing, military, and utility is one of the factors contributing to the growth of this sector. Furthermore, the Active Automatic Power Factor Controller is made up of active components like as diodes and transistors, which allow engineers to achieve a high power factor of 0.99. As a result of the high precision of power superiority, most industries choose Active Automatic Power Factor Controller.
The utility segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The utility segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Decreased power loss in distribution systems, higher reactive power, and the protection of electronic equipment against destruction are all factors that contribute to the sector's growth. Furthermore, the utility industry is dedicated on improve the power factor. Furthermore, the industrial sector has been gaining market share over time, which is expected to drive APFC demand.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The expansion of the Automatic Power Factor Controller market is primarily related to the increased development of infrastructures such as power plants, commercial buildings, and others in China and India, which, in turn, is bolstered by expanding industrialization and urbanisation. The use of automatic power factor controllers to assist minimise inefficiencies in electric systems and preserve power factor is increasing the demand for power management devices.
Region with highest CAGR
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This is the circumstance because of the presence of big players in the area. Increasing infrastructure upgrade of residential and commercial structures, as well as the construction of new power plants, is driving market growth further. Furthermore, it is expected that the expansion of industrial facilities to increase energy efficiency will accelerate the expansion over the forecast period.
