Low Voltage Protection and Control Market: Industry Analysis, Opportunity Assessment and Forecast upto 2026

Irregularity in voltage is a major concern faced by industry and home alike, and often times responsible for damaging electrical equipment. Low voltage protection devices are required for protection of both the system and the user from fault; hence, electrical equipment are not permitted to operate without installing any low voltage protection device. Power system fault is an adverse condition that arises in the power system and can lead to current leakage, ground short, short circuit, over current, and under and over voltage.

Low Voltage Protection and Control Market – Trends and Opportunities

Growing per capita consumption of energy and increasing demand for renewable energy products as well as for secure and safe electrical systems are responsible for driving the low voltage protection and control markettoward growth trajectories. Players in the low voltage protection and control market are investing in research and development activities to enhance product capabilities.

In February 2018, Siemens AG announced the launch of its new generation soft starters to streamline the demanding electrical system’s requirements. In October 2016, Rockwell Automation, Inc. expanded the Allen Bradley Bulletin 140G molded case circuit breakers to offer more comprehensive, fast-acting short-circuit protection and safety against overload and ground-fault conditions. These devices help engineers achieve higher short circuit ratings in the control panel due to their current-limiting ability and reduction of energy let-through by more than 50%.

Favorable government regulations concerning integration of sustainable energy resources across residential and commercial establishments are likely to boost the demand for low voltage protection and control devices during the forecast period. Further, rapid development of micro-grid networks to cater to the rising demand for off-grid energy across emerging markets is expected to augment the growth of the market in the near future. However, presence of inferior quality products, besides the high cost of monitoring devices, is expected to restrict the growth of the low voltage protection and control market.
