, Market Scenario, , A disconnect switch is primarily used to de-energize the electric circuit during servicing and maintenance. The switch interrupts the flow of electrical current by stopping the flow of power, allowing for emergency shutdowns. The switch has applications in large industries and power distribution; wherein high-powered machines have their power source connected. The two types of disconnect switch are– fusible and non-fusible. Fusible switches use the fuses to protect against overcurrent whereas non-fusible disconnect switches do not protect against short circuit and only switch the electrical flow on or off., The global disconnect switch market size is projected to reach USD 15.93 billion by 2025 from an estimated USD 12.08 billion in 2019 with ~ 4.71% CAGR from 2019 to 2025. The major factors driving the growth of the global disconnect switch market include growing transmission and distribution network and increasing investment in industrialization, especially in developing economies. According to OECD, the cumulative power sector investment from 2017 to 2040 would approximately reach USD 5.9 trillion for transmission and USD 2.1 trillion for the distribution network. Thus, the demand for the disconnect switch is expected to increase during the forecast period., Additionally, the global disconnect switch market is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period due to the increasing safety in industries and rapid urbanization & industrialization. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the US would need to invest USD 2.1 trillion by 2035 to modernize its grid infrastructure, including 579 GW of new generating capacity, and extensive refurbishment of the transmission network. Moreover, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), infrastructure sector in India witnessed 91 mergers and acquisitions deals worth USD 5.4 million in 2017 and has a requirement of investment worth USD 777.73 billion in infrastructure by 2022, which would in turn increase the demand for efficient power system, driving the demand for disconnect switches and other electrical components., Key players in the glob

Key players in the global disconnect switch market such as ABB, Siemens, General Electric, Schneider Electric, WEG SA, and others are actively focusing on signing contracts, agreements, and expansions to supply disconnect switch. For instance, in April 2019, ABB (Switzerland) announced that it would be investing USD 36 million to expand its advanced technology manufacturing operations for electrical switches in Mississippi, the US. This would propel the growth of the disconnect switch market in North America.

The global disconnect switch market has been segmented based on type, mount, voltage, application, and region.

Based on type, the global market has been divided into fused and non-fused. The non-fused segment is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. This is because a non-fused disconnect switch is used without additional fuse protection, making it more preferable, which is also one of the factors for its deeper market penetration.

Based on voltage, the global disconnect switch market has been segmented into the low, medium, and high voltage. The low voltage segment dominates the global market because a majority of applications lie in this voltage range such as commercial, manufacturing, power distribution, and photovoltaic applications, among others.

On the basis of application, the global market has been bifurcated into industrial and commercial. The industrial segment is estimated to register a higher growth rate during the forecast period. The global disconnect switch market is expected to grow at ~4.71% CAGR during the forecast period.



Market Segmentation



On the basis of region, the global disconnect switch market has been segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest and the fastest-growing market, by region, during the forecast period. This is due to the rising industrialization and urbanization in China, Japan, India, and other Southeast Asian countries. China dominated Asia-Pacific in terms of market share and growth rate.
