Electrical Enclosures Market Size

Electrical Enclosures Market Analysis

The Electrical Enclosures Market size is estimated at USD 52.42 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 66.58 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.90% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Owing to the increasing power and industrial infrastructure, the need for protection of the workplace and workforce is also increasing, which has led to the adoption of safety standards for the equipment in the industries. It has made electrical enclosures a crucial element in industrial and residential applications.

• Global energy consumption continues to grow significantly, as electricity demand is increasing as the trend for an ever-connected world accelerates. According to BP, Iceland has the largest per capita electricity consumption worldwide, averaging 52.98 megawatt-hours per person in 2021. It is due to the presence of energy-intensive industries in the country. Such instances are further driving the demand for electrical enclosures.
• Power generated from solar and wind sources uses sensitive electrical components and batteries that, if exposed to the elements, cause a system failure. Therefore, the energy generation sector uses electrical enclosures significantly for safety purposes.
• The acceptance of industrial and factory automation allows the entry of more mechanical, electromechanical, and solid-state devices, components, and controls that need to be enclosed for safety and aesthetic purposes, thereby driving the market growth. As a result, many countries have implemented stringent safety regulations globally, and this parameter is significantly driving the growth of the electrical enclosures market.
• For instance, the Construction Safety Alliance of Maine, SafetyWorks, and the Workplace Safety and Health Division of the Maine Department of Labor joined forces in August 2022 to promote workplace safety and health and inform construction employers and workers in the state about safety and health risks.The alliance will safeguard workers by lowering and minimizing exposure to construction-related risks like falls, injuries from being struck by objects, electrocution, and getting entangled in or between machinery and vehicles.
• The market is witnessing various developments as fabricators, and tier suppliers continue to develop composite solutions for protective battery enclosures. For instance, in March 2022, Mexico-based automotive tier 1 Katcon developed a multi-material toolbox for cost-effective, scalable EV battery enclosure design.
• The Coronavirus pandemic complicated the situation of the adoption of electrical enclosures in various sectors. It has changed the standard operating procedure by bringing in unique challenges of social distancing and contactless operation. Organizations were forced to limit their workforce and deal with the increasing demand. With the shutdown of several industries, the market witnessed a negative impact. Although, with the ease of restrictions and the opening of industries at full capacity, the market has started to gain traction.
