The Global Market for Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) is Forecast to Reach US$2.4 Billion by 2020
Rising Power Quality Issues Spur Demand for Surge
Protection Devices, According to a New Report by Global Industry
Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the
release of a comprehensive global report on Surge Protection Devices (SPDs). The
global market for Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) is forecast to reach US$2.4
billion by 2020, driven by the growing need to protect sensitive electronic
equipment from power fluctuations.
Surge
protection devices such as transient voltage surge suppressors and surge
arrestors are growing in importance, given the billions of dollars of losses
caused by voltage fluctuations and power line abnormalities. Widespread use of sophisticated
electrical, electronic communication and data equipment is driving the
importance of power management solutions including SPDs, in both developed and
developing economies. Proliferation of home appliances, personal computers,
heating and air conditioning equipment in residential homes, and installation
of high-end industrial electronic equipment in manufacturing plants are driving
growth in the market. Future growth in the market will continue to
benefit from the increasing use of electronics in the rapidly growing world telecommunication
industry.
The commercial
end-use sector is expected to witness strong growth in the coming years. With
nationwide alternate energy programs gaining popularity in Germany, China and
other major economies, demand for surge protectors is expected to gain strength.
Substitution of conventional coil and core street lamps with light emitting
diodes for outdoor lighting is also opening up new growth avenues for SPD
manufacturers. Miniaturization and clock speeds of microprocessors as dictated
by Moore’s Law comes at a price, namely higher sensitivity of the chips to
power transients, electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference
and electrical field transients. The increasing sensitivity of modern
electronic devices to even split-second electricity fluctuations bodes well for
sales of SPDs. The global market for SPDs is extremely competitive
characterized by a high degree of fragmentation, and pricing pressures. The
relatively commoditized SPD technology leaves very little scope for
differentiation. Pure-play SPD manufacturers face stiff competition from large
diversified electrical equipment makers.
As
stated by the new market research report on Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), the
United States represents the largest market worldwide. Developing countries are
forecast to spearhead future growth in the market led by mounting issues
related to stable power supply. Escalating demand for energy as a result of robust
pace of economic development and industrialization, inefficient energy
infrastructure and power shortages, are key reasons responsible for poor power
quality in these countries. Asia-Pacific, led by China and India, is forecast
to witness the strongest growth over the analysis period. Key factors driving
growth in the region include the growing consumer appetite for expensive
electronic devices, and migration of industries towards digitization and
automation of production and business processes.
Major players covered
in the report include Advanced Protection Technologies Inc., Belkin
international Inc., DEHN + SONS GmbH + Co. KG, Eaton Corporation PLC, Emerson
Electric Co., GE Industrial Solutions, Hubbell Incorporated, Koninklijke
Philips N.V., Legrand SA, Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc., Nexus Industries
Ltd., Novaris Pty Ltd., OBO BETTER MANN GmbH & Co. KG, Panamax LLC, Phoenix
Contact GmbH & Co. KG, REV Ritter GmbH, Schneider Electric SA, Smiths
Interconnect, Shenzhen Dowin Lightning Technologies Co. Ltd., Thomas &
Betts Power Solutions LLC, Tripp Lite, and Weidmüller GmbH & Co. KG, among
others.
