The Global Surge Arrester Market Size is to Grow from USD 1.73 Billion in 2023 to USD 2.76 Billion by 2033, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.78% during the projected period.
A surge arrester protects other electrical devices by "arresting" or carrying out surge currents generated by internal or external forces. It is also referred to as a surge protection device or, less commonly, a voltage surge inhibitor. Surge arresters protect against overvoltage caused by lightning or changing surges. They provide some protection against electrical wiring transients caused by lightning strikes near the conductor. In this regard, surge arresters can redirect fluctuations similar to those caused by lightning or faulty switching in a high-voltage system. The rise in the number of positive government efforts around the world to increase the quality of their electrical power supply, as well as offer assets and funding for the upgrading of their current infrastructure, has resulted in a greater demand for surge arresters to be used in these initiatives, propelling market growth forward at a rapid pace. However, the increasing competition from unorganized enterprises hinders market expansion.
The polymeric segment is projected to have the highest share of the market over the forecast period
Based on type, the global surge arrester market is divided into porcelain and polymeric. Among these, the polymeric segment is projected to have the highest share of the market over the forecast period. The polymeric product is likely to be the most popular due to its ease of use and setup, dependable performance in challenging conditions, inexpensive production and operating costs, and improved breaking resistance under overload. Furthermore, rising demand from businesses to successfully combat system malfunctions, as well as considerable investments in improving current electrical infrastructure, might greatly enhance the global market. These arrestors offer excellent performance and fidelity in surge-altering and medium-voltage networks.
The medium voltage level is expected to dominate the market during the projected timeframe
Based on voltage level, the global surge arrester market is divided into high voltage levels, medium voltage levels, and low voltage levels. Among these, the medium voltage level is expected to dominate the market during the projected timeframe. Medium voltage surge arresters are often utilized in large station complexes and intermediate buildings. Because of the tremendous demand for electricity, these industries frequently encounter power spikes. They have applications in communication circuits, critical loads, medical equipment, and surveillance systems. The necessity to protect electrical equipment and devices encourages spending on surge arresters, resulting in market growth.
The industrial segment has the highest share of the market during the forecast period
Based on application, the global surge arrester market is classified into utility and industrial. Among these, the industrial segment has the highest share of the market during the forecast period. The global expansion of various industries, including as factories, petroleum products, automobiles, and many others, has resulted in greater energy consumption and an increased risk of voltage surges. Aside from that, the increasing usage of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power in the industrial sector demands surge protection for sensitive devices in power generating and distribution applications. These devices can safeguard machinery and systems in factories and other industrial environments, including telecommunications, automation systems, and security interlock circuits.
Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the surge arrester market over the forecast period
Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the surge arrester market over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific region dominated the global market with a substantial share and is likely to maintain this dominance during the forecast period. The regional market growth is primarily caused by a rise in EHV and UHV transmission investments in significant developing nations such as India and China, as well as an important rise in electricity generation to meet the region's growing population and diverse production and commercial industries. According to CEIC, China's power production rose to 768,520 GWh in June 2024, up from 717,850 GWh the previous month.
North America is predicted to grow at the fastest pace in the surge arrester market during the projected timeframe. North America is predicted to expand fast as a
result of the increased proliferation of electronic devices in industrial, residential, and commercial settings, as well as the growing need to replace old power grid infrastructure across the continent. Aside from that, the region is vulnerable to severe weather occurrences such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, which can result in power outages and major damage to equipment and infrastructure.
