APAC Transfer Switches Market Analysis
The Asia Pacific transfer switches market (hereafter referred to as the market studied) was valued at USD 461.35 million in 2020. It is expected to reach USD 724.82 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 6.67% during 2021-2026 (hereafter referred to as the forecast period). The pandemic led to a growth in the initiatives toward renewable energy, which pushes the demand for transfer switches. During the COVID-19 pandemic, allied utilities turned their attention from coal-based generation to renewables.
- Transfer switches are devices that allow users to transfer between different power sources, most commonly backup generators. It provides numerous industries with assurance, simplicity, and hassle-free continuous and switching power supply. As a result, their growth is influenced and reliant on the power and transmission industries.
- The increasing urbanization and industrialization are developing the need for transfer switches. According to the World Bank, the urbanization rate in Vietnam increased from 36.63% in 2019 to 37.34% in 2020. In addition, in Indonesia, the urbanization rate increased from 55.99% in 2019 to 56.64% in 2020. The increase in urbanization creates a need for modern electrical infrastructure, driving the growth of the market.
- The propelling investments by the vendors operating in the market are also triggering the market's growth. In May 2021, Cummins Inc. introduced its power transfer equipment for mission-critical and life-saving applications, the PowerCommand X-Series transfer switches.
- Available in automatic and non-automatic configurations, the new switches are designed for versatility and offer current ratings from 40 to 3000 amps. They are suitable for a broad range of applications, including commercial retail facilities, healthcare centers, and large data centers. Additionally, the PowerCommand X-Series transfer switches incorporate a newly designed high endurance mechanism (HEM) engineered to accommodate very large current loads for extended periods with no failure or loss of control.
- Further, despite several innovations, these switches are still susceptible to various hazards if not appropriately operated with safety precautions. Electrical shock and burns, fire and explosions, heat build-up, and mechanical hazards are some of the hazards that these switches can cause. Hence, these factors act as certain restraining factors in the studied market.
