Hazardous Location Connectors Market Analysis
The hazardous location connectors market was valued at USD 10.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 14.54 billion by 2026, and grow at a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period (2021-2026). Fiber optic connector is in trend, where the use of fiber optic communications is becoming more prevalent to set to improve both safety and productivity. It offers an alternative to hard-wiring methods, allowing users to safely make and break fiber optic cables by providing wide operating temperature ranges, including subzero operation in the field with minimal downtime during the hazardous time.
- Rising industrial safety measures are driving the market, as the tools and equipment used in manufacturing can produce heat and flame, thereby, increasing the risk for fires, especially in Class I location, by which connectors play an important role to prevent these types of explosions.
- Increasing applications in the industrial sector are driving the market as every application requires different connector designs, due to its industry need to overstand shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. In the oil sector, high-quality flexible connectors are used by properly connecting all metallic non-current carrying equipment to prevent shock, whereas waterproof electrical connectors, which are rubber molded are used in the wastewater treatment facilities.
- However, higher product installation and maintenance costs challenge the market growth, as wire-terminated or PCB-mounted connectors have additional costs associated with them, which is the main reason behind the cost high.
