Residual Current Circuit Breaker Market

By Product Type, Type AC and Type A are Expected to Dominate the Market

Aging electricity transmission infrastructure in developed regions will DEMAND new installations to enable better failure detection. Technological advancements and replacement of aging power infrastructure in developed regions is one of the key factors driving the residual current circuit breakers demand in the global market.

In terms of volume, Type AC segment is set to dominate the residual current circuit breakers market by the end of 2028. Type B and Type B+ segments are expected to lose 30 BPS and 90 BPS, respectively, over the forecast period. In terms of growth, Type A will remain one of the most attractive segments in the residual current circuit breakers market. This is due to the fact that Type A RCCBs provide additional protection to Type AC as they are sensitive to alternative comments.

Rising Residential Projects to Support the Growth of the Global Market

Housing recovery and new construction are cited to drive the commercial and residential construction sector. This in turn, is expected to drive the demand for residual current circuit breakers over the projected period.

The predominant use of residual current circuit breakers in residential sector is to guard a low voltage circuit from faults. Residential segment - one of the key end use areas of residual current circuit breakers -- represents nearly 45.3% of the total sales volume of residual current circuit breakers. The segment is expected to witness a market value growth rate of 7.5% over the study period. End uses, such as commercial and industrial, are set to experience robust CAGRs of 6.5% and 5.8%, respectively, during the forecast period.

In addition, residential and industrial segments are collectively expected to account for more than 83.4% share in the total incremental $ opportunity created in the global Residual Current Circuit Breakers market during the forecast period. Moderate product substitutability of residual current circuit breakers is one of the key features increasing the utilization of residual current circuit breakers across the globe.

Western Europe and North America to Propel Future Demand

Relatively stable economic conditions, increasing industrial production and consistent growth in construction industry are the key factors expected to drive the growth in the demand for residual current circuit breakers in North America and Europe. North America is expected to dominate the global residual current circuit breakers market, in terms of value and volume, during the forecast period.

China and India are expected to gain traction over the forecast period as a consequence of the anticipated surge in the performance of manufacturing and commercial sectors, whereas all the other regions are expected to exhibit moderate growth during the same period.

Japan and Eastern Europe are expected to lose market value share, owing to the increase in the production of residual current circuit breakers in SEAP and India. Japan and Eastern Europe are projected to register 5.1% and 5.7% CAGRs, respectively, by value, which is lower than the collective growth of all the other regions. Additionally, the China market is anticipated to outpace the Western Europe market by the end of 2028.
