Market CAGR for surge protection devices is being driven by rise in the demand for electronic device protection systems and a surge in the use of high-voltage machinery and equipment in manufacturing facilities. For the protection of equipment, valuable appliances, and electronics surge protection systems are widely utilized in both commercial and domestic settings. The demand for protective systems for electronic gadgets has grown rapidly during the past few years. This is linked to rising protection system demand, which in turn fuels the expansion of the surge protector devices market.


Additionally, expanding economies in developing nations and rising population levels, there is an increase in demand for electrical goods which is anticipated to boost the market growth. Increasing industrialization and availability of cash raised the standard of living. As a result, consumption and spending on electronic items have substantially expanded. The increase in equipment damage is a result of both the expanding use of microprocessors in a wider range of products and the increasing shrinkage of microelectronic parts. The expanding nations' adoption of high-tech goods including LCD, LED, laptops, washing machines, and televisions is one of the primary factors driving the growth of the global market for surge protection devices.


Moreover, the rapid growth of the automotive industry and the increasing need for smart, small portable appliances with better power densities, faster processors, and greater sensitivity are the two main factors driving the global market for surge protection devices. The expanding usage of electronic and mechanical components in the automotive industry to improve passenger safety, comfort, and telemetric as well as driver assistance and navigation is also having a favorable impact on the market. As a result, the market is expanding due to the use of these devices to provide intelligent and high-performance functionalities by preventing overheating and wiring.


For instance, in June 2021, the Indian Brand Equity Foundation reports that India produced 22.65 million cars in FY21, with 13 million of those being constructed between April and October of that same year. In the third quarter of FY22, sales of electric vehicles (EVs) reached a new high of 5,592 units. The total number of electric cars (EVs) sold in India was 329,190, an increase of 168% year over year from the 122,607 units sold in the prior year. Significant increase is anticipated for the major economies faster adoption of EVs. Thus, driving the Surge Protection Devices market revenue.


Surge Protection Devices Market Segment Insights:


Surge Protection Devices Product Insights


The Surge Protection Devices Market segmentation, based on product, includes hard-wired, plug-in, line cord, and power control devices. The hard-wired category dominates the market during the forecast period (2.4 billion). In order to safeguard devices and outlets downstream from the device, hard-wired SPDs are frequently put on power lines.
