Transfer Switch Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Automatic Transfer Switch, Manual Transfer Switch and Other Types), Ampere Rating (Low 20A-300A, Medium 301A-1600A, High 1601A-4000A and Other Ampere Ratings), Transition Mode, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Transfer Switch Market is accounted for $1.73 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.86 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. A transfer switch is electrical equipment that allows safe connection load between two power sources such as utility power and generator power. It prevents electricity travelling in the wrong direction. It is used to quickly and safely switch between normal and backup power sources for all electrical power required by the circuit, equipment or systems connected to the switch's output. These switches are used in all the applications where the electricity is consumed. These switches offer increased reliability, safety, cost efficiency and less hazardous to operate. With a boom in technology and manufacturing, the need for these switches is bound to increase with the emergency of standby systems.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization
People are widely urbanizing and adopting quick modernization. The adoption of the innovative technologies in rural or underdeveloped areas is steadily rising. Residential buildings and commercial infrastructures are being built over a sizable area as a result of the rapid spread of urbanization. This increased the need of electronics and necessity of their installation which is fuelling its market demand.
Restraint:
Technical issues
The transfer switches faces technical issues and there is a chance of damage to its components due to transient voltage. The relays and contacts in power supply can fail the switches sooner. It needs an over current protection device to withstand the voltage interruptions. The sensitive loads, output issues can cause additional cost which hinders the market demand.
Opportunity:
Suitable for switching to generator power
An automatic switch provides the fastest means to transition from utilities feed to generator feed. It decreases the necessity of preserving a steady supply of electricity. Businesses can let the switchover happen automatically rather than looking for manual switches after the lights go out. It enables all the power consuming sectors to function normally which is propelling the growth of the market.
Threat:
Requirement for expert installation
The transfer switches can get disrupted due to an overload or short circuit. It needs a replacement of fuse. Skilled specialists are needed for effective installation as the fuses are connected in series and they are too intricate and complex. This need to be fixed only by experts to avoid damages and electric interruptions which further raises additional costs and hampers the market demand.
Covid-19 Impact
The covid pandemic impacted the transfer switch market drastically. The lack of business continuity projected to the financial disruptions in the market. It has ensured major negative effects on revenues and shareholder returns. Emerging nations control the majority of both manufacturers and customers of the market got affected. The disruption of the electronics value curtailed supply chain activities. It decreased sales and manufacturing revenue and affected the economy.
The automatic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The automatic segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the vital load connections. The automated switches offer dependable connections among primary and backup electrical sources. They permit functioning without supervision. The consumer can have access to automatic on and off process. These switches are rising heavily with advanced technology and good outlook and anticipated to a lucrative growth in the market.
The transition mode segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The transition mode segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its wide abilities to use power. They are useful for applications requiring zero interruption of power. It can break contact with one source of power before it makes contact with another source of power. It can synchronize generator power with the utility power. All these aspects are generating the huge growth in the market.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rapid industrialization. This region uses the transfer switches largely due to the presence of sectors like telecom, banking, textiles and hospitals. Governments and power companies are hugely investing in this sector to provide services without interruption and this anticipated to the profitable growth of the market.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to large scale adoption of emergency backup power. This region consists many industries and commercial buildings which need backup power system to avoid any power outage. The expansion of information and communication technology which require uninterrupted power supply is offering lucrative growth in this region.
