Global Pin Insulator Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Material (Porcelain, Ceramic, Polymer, Others), By Application (Power Transmission Line, Utility Poles), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The global pin insulator market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.32% during the forecast period.

A pin insulator is a tool used to remove a wire from a physical support, such as a telegraph or utility pole pin, and work as an insulator under the wire to transfer electricity properly. It is a formed, single-layer shape constructed of a non-conducting substance, typically porcelain or glass. The growing implementation of effective transmission and distribution systems, system operations, and renewable integration is expected to drive the demand for pin insulators, boosting market growth. Also, additional factors, such as the growing electricity demand in construction sites, railway lines, airports, and other industries, are further expected to accelerate the market growth.

Utility pole distribution lines are supported by pin insulators, which isolate the cables from the pole. The pin insulator is essential to the reliable flow of electricity. The growing utility pole installation for supplying electricity in different regions due to growing electricity demand will boost the pin insulator market growth. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), India's electricity demand is expected to climb by roughly 35% between 2019 and 2030, while the country's urban population will rise by an additional 270 million people during the following 20 years. According to projections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2021, the nation utilized 97 quadrillion BTUs (British thermal units) of total primary energy.

The growing investment in electric infrastructure is accelerating the demand for pin insulators. 

In the electrical grid infrastructure, pin-type insulators isolate wires from physical supports like pins on utility poles or towers in the power distribution systems. The rising investments in substation and power transmission grid systems will boost the market demand for pin insulators, positively impacting the overall market growth. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the USA's investment spending on electricity grids rose from $71 billion in 2019 to $84 billion in 2021. The Ministry of Power of India in Feb 2023 revealed that from 2014 to 2022, around 175 GW of power generation capacity has been added, and the whole country is now connected and capable of transferring 112 GW of power from one area to another owing to the addition of 173459 ckt km of transmission lines to its grid. In September 2022, Tata Power announced to building of 4 to 5 substations near high-rise buildings in Mumbai, as well as on the island city of Worli and the suburbs of Borivli, Andheri, Dahisar, and Malad.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. 

The Asia Pacific region will account for a significant market share owing to the growing power demand coupled with rising urbanization and industrialization, which has accelerated the development of the power transmission grid lines. Government spending on building effective transmission and distribution networks is increasing in China, India, and Indonesia. For instance, the Chinese government invested USD 31 billion in 2020 to modernize its grid infrastructure by adding automated substations, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). In November 2021, according to the Ministry of Power, the "Integrated Power Development Scheme" (IPDS), which was announced on December 2014 to expand the power sub-transmission and distribution networks in metropolitan areas, received GoI Grants totalling Rs. 78 crores by November 2021 under IPDS which is around Rs. 30,904 crores worth of projects and have been approved, to the States and Discoms. In November 2019, the national utility of Indonesia, PT PLN (Persero), awarded a contract to CG Power Systems Indonesia, a branch of CG Power and Industrial Solutions (CG), for developing and providing 25 power transformers valued at $24 million. The decision will help PLN achieve its goal of increasing the effectiveness of its electricity transmission system. The growing power grid transmission and distribution projects in Asia will boost the pin insulator market growth.
