Global Disconnect Switches Market Research (MRFR Insights)

The Disconnect Switches Market is projected to reach USD 19,991 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2030. In order to perform repairs and maintenance, a disconnect switch is a part of an electric circuit that is used to isolate the current from its power source. The center-break, double-break, pantograph, vertical, and horizontal disconnectors are typical disconnector types. They interrupt the flow of electricity to allow for emergency shutdowns and provide the option of switching to different power sources. Disconnect switches have an actuator, an enclosure, and wired electrical contacts to prevent contact with live circuits. These switches are frequently used in industrial and power distribution applications.

The growing distribution and transmission networks are a significant factor driving the worldwide disconnect switch industry. The demand for disconnect switches in emerging nations is also rising due to an increase in infrastructure initiatives. The expanding use of low-voltage disconnectors and non-contact safety switches in the transportation, railway, aviation, power production, and telecommunications sectors is also creating a good picture for the industry. Disconnect switches are also used in conveyor systems, industrial power systems, assembly lines, and material handling equipment to reduce workplace risks, which is further fueling market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 epidemic has badly hit the market's whole supply chain. The suspension of activities in the production and end-use sectors has impacted it. The pandemic has had an impact on the industry's overall growth. The COVID-19 pandemic's sudden emergence in 2020 and the beginning of 2021 prompted the adoption of strict lockdown laws in many countries, disrupting the import and export of safety disconnect switches.

Disconnect Switches Market Dynamics

These are of the main factors influencing the market's growth is rapid industrialization, which is occurring alongside widespread infrastructural development worldwide. The market is growing owing to the rising demand for effective systems for power transmission, generation, and distribution. Disconnect switches are utilized in heavy manufacturing, transmission lines, substations, and industrial power systems. Another factor driving growth is the increasing awareness of how critical it is to preserve worker safety in the manufacturing and electronics sectors. To reduce workplace dangers, assembly lines, material handling equipment, and conveyor systems frequently incorporate safety sensors and disconnect switches. The market is also being driven by other factors, like rising investments to upgrade the deteriorating transmission and distribution infrastructure. The US will need to invest USD 2.1 trillion by 2035 to upgrade its grid infrastructure, which would include adding 579 GW of new producing capacity and extensively renovating the transmission network. In addition, the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) reports that the country's infrastructure sector saw 91 merger and acquisition transactions totaling USD 5.4 million in 2017 and has a requirement for USD 777.73 billion in infrastructure investment by 2022, which will increase demand for an effective power system and consequently increase demand for disconnect switches and other electrical components.

Market Drivers

• Industrialists' growing concerns about safety

Considering electric power is a necessary infrastructure component for developing and developed regions, every region is attempting to extend its power system, which is the main trend driving the rise of  disconnect switches. The  disconnect/isolator switch market is expanding rapidly worldwide due to several causes, including the rapid rise of urbanization and industrialization worldwide as well as an increase in industrialists' concerns about the safety of their laborers and workers.

Market Restraints

• High Cost of Switches

Despite having several benefits, the worldwide disconnect switch market is being constrained by several reasons, including the fluctuating cost of the raw materials required to make the disconnect switches and the availability of low-quality, inexpensive goods made by other manufacturers. Another major obstacle to the adoption of SF6 circuit breaker technology is the high cost of the products. The SF6 circuit breaker products are assembled with a little silver and gold to improve the product's efficiency, which drives up the cost of the final product.

Market Opportunities

• Leading businesses' innovative solutions offer greater protection.

Leading businesses are working to create cutting-edge solutions with improved safety and protection; these solutions are anticipated to drive the disconnect switch market ly. For example, in 2021, The Powerswitch Safety Disconnect Switch with InformTM Technology was introduced by Leviton. The launch comprised 30/32 Amp non-metallic safety disconnect switches with industry-only remote monitoring capability. In order to deliver dependable and safe performance in a variety of hazardous and harsh area applications in the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and heavy industries, Eaton supplies Crouse-Hinds series CEAG GHG25 safety switches and switch disconnectors.
