Market overview
The Molded Case Circuit Breakers Market is expected to register USD 7.56 billion and a CAGR of 5.93% during the forecast period. Circuit breaks are a prominent component of the electrical circuit system. They provide safety to the electronic devices, overloads and others and provide necessary prevention for the consumers. These are the small circuit breakers mostly used to protect the electrical circuit from accidents. Factors like constant modification in technology, electricity infrastructure and rising production and electricity consumption are propelling the market.
The MCCB is majorly used in power generation, transmission, and distribution applications requiring heavy protection capacity. Many countries are improving the infrastructure to provide efficient, safe, reliable and technological advanced public service. The continuous growth of the equipment industry, projects, aerospace equipment and automation vehicles provides suitable growth places for the market. Electricity demand is rising due to the continuous growth of the population in several countries. It is installed with various safety devices to prevent damage due to overload or any electrical faults. The demand for the consumer for safety in residential and commercial sectors are boosting the market and will continue in the forecast period.
The circuit is used in need of precise operation because it is more expensive than the fuse. The major hindrance for the market is slow tripping features and vulnerability to heat. Due to the COVID spread, most of the sectors were closed and suffered a huge decline, making it difficult for them to get to the same benchmark. As people stayed at home for more than one year, the market grew in the residential sector but got into loss in the commercial and industrial sectors.
Market segmentation
The Molded Case Circuit Breakers Market/ MCCB Market is segmented by end-user and current. Based on the current, the market is divided into up to 20A, 21A–75A, 76A–250A, 251A–800A, and above 800A. 76A-250A was in the lead in 2018 as the MCCBs are used in the infrastructure. The segment is expected to grow at the same rate, and the emerging economy is a growth factor for the market. The end-user segment is classified into transmission & distribution, manufacturing & process industry, residential & commercial, power generation, etc., transmission and distribution register the highest CAGR due to the infrastructure improvement.
