Segment Analysis

The circuit breaker & fuses market is primarily segmented on the basis of voltage, application, and geographic region. Market by voltage includes low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage and by applications includes power generation, power transmission & distribution, construction, industrial, transportation and others. The market for circuit breaker & fuses is finding huge opportunities across smart city projects with growing transmission and distribution power lines.

Medium voltage circuit breaker comprises of the major market share of the circuit breaker & fuses with high investment in power transmission and distribution sector. Access to electricity is particularly crucial to county development, as certain signification applications such as industrialization, residential and commercial applications. Electrification can help achieve economic and social objectives. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that 1.5 billion people lacked access to electricity in 2008,more than one-fifth of the world’s population. Roughly, 85% of those without electricity live in rural areas, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Considerable progress has been made with government initiatives in these developing countries. Achieving sustainable universal electricity access by 2030 is one of the important global target and this will influence the busway market in positively. It is evident that an even stronger focus on electricity access will be seen in coming years to meet the needs of the low electrification and overcome this constraint on development.
