The Air Circuit Breaker market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6 % to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2026 from 4 billion in 2019. Increasing growth in renewable energy and demand for safe reliable and secure power has significantly contributed to the growth of this market. Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) is used in electric circuits to provide protection under faulty conditions such as short-circuits. The primary function of an Air Circuit breaker is to interrupt the current flow after a fault is detected. The growth of the air circuit breaker market has also been due to aging infrastructure, the advent of smart cities, and grid modernization.
The research report analyses the ecosystem of Air Circuit Breaker and categorizes the Air Circuit Breaker Market to forecast the revenues and analyze the trends in each of the following below-mentioned market segments.
In terms of the type of circuit breaker, the air blast circuit breaker segment is estimated to be the largest segment during the forecast period
The different types of Air circuit breakers include the Air Blast Circuit Breaker and Plain Air Circuit Breaker. The Air Blast Circuit Breaker market is projected to be the largest, segment on account of growing demand from the Asia Pacific Region. These are also preferred over oil circuit breakers as there is no risk of fire hazards and they also facilitate high-speed re-closure. Airblast circuit breakers require less maintenance and are also suitable for frequent operation.
