Load Break Switch Market Scope

The global load break switch market was worth USD 1.98 billion in 2017 and could project a
steady growth rate during the forecast period (2017-2023), predicts Market Research Future
(MRFR).
Growth Boosters and Key Barriers
With the fast-track growth in the worldwide population, the power industry is noting a surge in the
number of power generation and transmission projects. The increasing need for access to power
that benefits the economy works in favor of the load break switch market. In the past decade, Asia
Pacific has grown exponentially backed by rising number of power plant installation projects.
These projects have been gaining momentum in countries like India and China where the
burgeoning population calls for higher power distribution. These factors are bound to accelerate
market growth in subsequent years.
The load break switch market could note further growth during the review period as a result of the
mounting demand for compact load break switches for applications in low and medium voltage.
Surging industrialization coupled with increasing investments in the electrification and
infrastructure developments all over the world has boosted the demand for load switches. These
switches are progressively being used to cut-off power in electrical equipment during maintenance,
emergency shutdowns as well as repairs. Consequently, the load break switch market is anticipated
to note an impressive growth in the ensuing years.
Some other factors favoring the market are growing investment in power distribution sector and
refurbishment of aging electrical infrastructure. The expanding renewable-based power generation
is touted to bolster the demand for load break switches in the years ahead. To elaborate, significant
government initiatives across various regions are striving to boost renewable energy generation.
These eco-friendly initiatives are bound to motivate market growth during the conjectured
timeframe.
Market Segmentation
MRFR has analyzed the global load break switch market with respect to type, voltage type,
installation type and end-user.
Type-wise, the load break switch market can be considered for vacuum-insulated, gas-insulated,
oil-immersed and air-insulated. Between these, the gas-insulated segment could seize the largest
share on account of surging application in renewable energy power system projects. However, the
gas-insulated type is gaining immense traction owing to long-life cycles as well as its ease of
maintenance.
Depending on installation type, the market can be broken down to outdoor and indoor. It is
estimated that the outdoor segment could acquire the larger share, given its rising implementation
in projects. The residential sector is set to demonstrate steady growth thanks to increasing adoption
of smart grid systems.
In terms of voltage type, the load break switch market includes below 11kv, 11-33kv, 33-60kv.
The end-users in the load break switch market are industrial, utilities, and commercial.

Regional Insight
The key markets for load break switch studied in the MRFR report include Asia Pacific, North
America and Europe.
The highest share of the load break switch market has been acquired by North America, with
Europe coming in a close second. These regions stress heavily on safety and also on offering grid
connectivity to remote locations. On top of this, growing power generation capacity, focus on
renewable power generation, and plans to boost electrification rate are expected to intensify market
growth in these regions.
Asia Pacific could grow at the highest CAGR in the following years, as a result of the presence of
a large number of power generation projects as well as grid upgradation projects. Countries like
India, China and Indonesia are at the vanguard of the regional market, presenting tremendous
opportunities in the form of rising digitization in the utility sector. Apart from this, renowned
vendors in the region are concentrating on research and development of load break switches to
make them compact and ideal for low voltage devices. In addition, these local companies are
striving to offer customized solutions to end-users for gaining a competitive edge and elevate their
position in the market.
