The global "Transfer Switch Market" is estimated to reach $1,470.9 Million by 2020 at a projected CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increasing demand in the industrial and commercial applications.
Transfer switch is an electromechanical device which facilitates switching between two or more power sources mainly backup generators. It assures convenient and hassle free switching and continuous power supply in industrial, commercial and residential operations. The market drivers of the transfer switch market are entirely influenced by power distribution & transmission industry. Growth in the related as well as complementary markets, of generators and alternate energy sources, also contribute towards the growth of transfer switch market.
Sudden brownouts and voltage fluctuation, outages, blackouts, and uncertain weather conditions have led to the increase in demand for transfer switch in the market. The growing dependence on power and critical application in industries, commercial institutions, healthcare, transportation, and households is the driving factor for transfer switch market.
Asia-Pacific: The largest region for transfer switch
Asia-Pacific accounts the largest market share of transfer switch due to the growing trend in the industrial and commercial sector especially in countries such as China and India. However, most of the countries in this region are still developing and lacks proper power distribution infrastructure. This leads to outages, blackouts, brownouts, and power surges. This is driving the transfer switch market in this region and is expected to be the leading market by 2020. China is investing a lot for the expansion of its power sector and is also one of the leading markets for the sales of generators and electrical equipment.
North America and Europe stood at the second and third position in the global transfer switch, respectively, in 2014. U.S., Germany, U.K. are the major countries in two regions and held a significant share in the global market. France, Mexico, and Canada are expected to be the fastest growing countries with high growth rate in next five years period.
