Restraint:
Availability of Substitute
The availability of solid-state relays (SSRs) as a substitute, due to advancements in semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing technology may hamper the growth of the market. The more possible substitutes there are for it, the greater the elasticity. When several close substitutes are available, consumers can easily switch from one good to another even if there is only a small change in price. This is one of the factor restricting the market growth.
Opportunity:
Rising Application of Electromechanical Relays in Numerous Verticals
Growing applications of it in electronics projects to assist the alteration of the voltage & current is enhancing the market. Relays are effective in detecting and isolating faults during power transmission and distribution systems in the application areas of electrical supply. Lighting control systems, industrial process controllers, traffic control, telecommunication, motor drives control, and protection systems of an electrical power system are some of the most lucrative application areas for ERM. Moreover, the industrial growth in the country has also increased the demand for these electromechanical relays.
Threat:
Design and Technical Concerns Related To EMR
The market is analysed to grow at a significant rate, the design concerns are set to threaten the growth of the market. The challenge lies in blending the right mix of miniaturization and technical specifications to meet the designer's specific needs. The applications and technical specifications of these relays vary widely from one industry vertical to other. For instance, emerging broadband communications applications need relays to operate at higher frequencies, while industrial applications need lower power consumption and the automotive industry is demanding higher reliability. Hence these design concerns are set to hamper the market.
Automotive segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Due to rising acceptance of these relays in cars to turn on/off equipped electronic devices within the vehicle. Additionally, modern car manufacturers are incorporating relay panels into fuse boxes, as it supports easy maintenance of the vehicle. Auto manufacturers are playing a crucial role in selecting the most suitable relays, especially in the case of modern device manufacturing. In automobile vehicles, relays use a low current signal to control a high current circuit, particularly in the applications such as starter solenoids. These cars also deal with heavy electrical loads. Electronic devices such as fans, horns, wipers, ignition, air-conditioning, and headlamps that are equipped in the vehicle consume a large amount of current to process their operations. Thus, efficient relays installation is in demand to lower the power consumption in different automotive vehicles including lightweight commercial vehicles, cars, and trucks.
The Heavy Duty and High Voltage Relays segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The heavy duty and high voltage relays segment is driven by machine control, control starters and other components which are made of durable and long-lasting materials. Since heavy-duty relays are most normally utilized in auto machines and other modern applications, they are made of maintainable, dependable materials. They are generally used to control starters and different parts. Relays intended for high voltage and high-recurrence applications are intensely protected and utilize solid materials to expand contact life and endure heavy use. Also, they can withstand kilovolt surges.
