Vacuum Contactor Market Scenario:

Due to investments in HVAC systems, government requirements on energy efficiency, and the usage of environmentally friendly refrigerants, the global vacuum contactor market is likely to rise significantly during the forecast period. Furthermore, the important vacuum contactor trend in the market will be the increased demand for efficiency in an electric equipment in sectors. With the help of a vacuum interrupter, relay, and fuse, a vacuum contactor is an electrically controlled switch that is used to make or break an electrical circuit. This switch is commonly found in medium voltage quick switching devices such as motor starters, switchgear, and control gear. Because refrigeration, cooling, and ventilation equipment require an AC motor system, vacuum contactors are commonly utilized in HVAC systems. As a result, the market will be driven by strong global growth in HVAC systems.

The market would be driven by continued investment and up-gradation in process industries, manufacturing sectors, commercial, and large residential complexes that use HVAC systems. Hot climatic conditions, along with an increase in urbanization, have fueled the demand for HVAC products in Asian countries. Furthermore, the rising need for fast-switching devices is expected to have an equal upshifting effect on vacuum contactor demand.

The Vacuum Contactor Market is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period, due to various factors such as growth in process industries which would increase the demand for vacuum contactors in HVAC system. Similarly, growth in the related markets such as motors, capacitors, switchgear, and transformers would also contribute to the growth of vacuum contactors.

Vacuum Contactor Market Segmentation:

Global market of vacuum contactor has been segmented based on Voltage Rating, application, end-user, and region. Based on applications, the market is classified into six categories, namely, motors, transformers, capacitors, reactors, resistive loads, and other applications such as generators, pumps, variable frequency drive, power transmitter, and switchgears. Motors and transformers hold larger share in the vacuum contactors market due to system reliability for harsh environments. Also, heavy duty cycling of motors require vacuum contactors for reliable starting and control of the motors.

Vacuum contactor is an electrically controlled switch that is used to make or break an electrical circuit with the help of vacuum interrupter, relay and fuse. This switch is typically used in motor starters, switchgear and control gear of medium voltage fast switching devices motor starters, switchgear and control gear of medium voltage fast switching devices. Vacuum contactors are also widely used in HVAC systems since refrigeration, cooling, and ventilation equipment need an AC motor system. Therefore, robust growth in HVAC systems globally would drive the market.

Continuous increase in investment and upgradation in process industries, manufacturing industry, commercial, and large residential complexes that use HVAC systems would drive the market. Counties in Asia present hot climatic conditions along with rise in urbanization which has driven the demand for HVAC products. Additionally, the increasing demand for fast-switching devices is considered to have an equally upshifting effect on the demand for vacuum contactors.

Need for reduction of use of power in machineries would drive the demand for vacuum contactors as it helps to regulate power use to prevent a sudden increase in load in the motor. Therefore, power utilities and other industries are installing vacuum contactors help to reduce the power consumption in their systems and help to protect the equipment that is connected to an electrical network, leading to safety of overall system.

Global vacuum contactor market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period owing to investment in HVAC system, government regulations on energy efficiency, and the use of environmentally friendly refrigerants.
