The circuit breaker and fuse market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.04%, reaching a market size of US$22.034 billion in 2030 from US$16.431 billion in 2025.
Circuit breakers and fuses are two types of electrical protection devices that are used in electrical systems to prevent damage from overcurrent flow. A circuit breaker and fuse are automatic equipment that can be operated manually or automatically to interrupt current flow in a circuit. It is intended to detect overloads and short circuits and quickly disconnect the circuit to prevent electrical fires or equipment damage. Such electrical devices are used in numerous sectors such as construction, consumer electronics, industrial, power generation & distribution, and transport. Increasing automotive production and the establishment of new solar power plants contribute to the circuit breaker and fuse market growth.
Circuit breakers and fuses help to keep vehicles safe by protecting the electrical systems. Modern vehicles are outfitted with a variety of electronic components, such as infotainment systems, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and electric vehicle components. Therefore, these systems necessitate a consistent and dependable power supply, and circuit breakers and fuses ensure that electrical circuits are properly controlled, protecting both the components and the vehicle itself. The rise in automotive production is a major driving force behind the circuit breaker and fuse market growth. For instance, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, in 2022, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide, a 5.7% increase over 2021.
Circuit breakers and fuse play an essential role in solar power plants to protect various components such as solar panels, inverters, and batteries. They aid in the prevention of damage caused by excessive current or short circuits, and they improve system safety and reliability by quickly disconnecting the faulty component from the rest of the circuit. This makes them an ideal option for solar power plants. Favorable investments and initiatives to bolster the establishment of new solar power plants have contributed to the circuit breaker and fuse market growth. For instance, in March 2023, the World Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved $12 million in financing support for the Scaling Solar 2 Project in Uzbekistan.
Circuit breakers and fuses are necessary components of industrial parks as they ensure the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems, protect equipment and prevent potential electrical accidents and fires. Rapid industrialization coupled with investments in the establishment of the new industrial park is a major driving force behind the circuit breaker and fuse market growth. For instance, in December 2023, Panattoni, the world's largest industrial real estate developer, announced the launch of the initial phase of Panattoni Park NH71 in Delhi NCR, its first project in India.
Asia Pacific is projected to account for a major portion of the circuit breaker and fuse market due to the increasing automotive production and the establishment of new solar power plants in the region.
For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2022, 54,56,857 units were produced in India, an increase of 24%, and 27,020,615 units in China, an increase of 3% compared to the year 2021. Additionally, in September 2023, Tata Power Energy Solutions announced that they will construct a 41 MW captive solar plant in Tamil Nadu for TP Solar's upcoming 4.3 GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility.
Circuit breakers and fuses are more complicated in terms of design and operation, making them more difficult to install and maintain, and the difficulties and complexities associated with the installation and integration affect electrical components into various applications. This may limit the adoption of circuit breakers and fuse which may hinder the market growth.
