Power Strip Market Size

Power Strip Market Analysis

The Global Power Strip Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period (2022 to 2027).

• Power strips are useful when electrical sockets are unavailable in the required area. There are instances when multiple appliances must operate simultaneously, yet there aren't enough sockets to accommodate them. In that case, power strips are essential for connecting all devices for use. These power strips are portable and conveniently handy, which makes them flexible for usage at any location.
• The use of power strips aids in energy saving by detecting idle devices connected to power strip sockets. When a device becomes motionless, the power strip detects it within a predetermined time frame and disconnects power from the socket. This is supposed to help save even more energy and reduce the extension's power consumption. Power strips are predicted to save more energy by reducing standby power loss and active energy waste.
• Growing demand for steady power supply and energy saving are major drivers for the power strip industry. Many consumer electronics continue to use power even when switched off, known as a "Vampire Load." According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. Department of Energy, vampire load adds up to around USD 200 in yearly average costs for an average home in the United States. This wasted energy could have powered about 11 million homes.
• Overall, Global Power Strip Market is fragmented, as several global electrical companies and many small and medium enterprises provide a range of power strip products to cater to the varying needs of the vast end-user sectors. Citing the variety in installation type and usage, there is demand for various specifications in power strip products. Integration of technologies such as WiFi, USB, etc., is adding a large pool of product differentiation in the market, which is expected to benefit small and medium enterprises to get a significant market share.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major driver for the power strip market. Work from home resulted in a surge in demand for laptops and desktops as office workers and students were forced to quickly create home offices to telecommute or complete their online studies. The consumer electronics market experienced exponential growth, and this demand is expected to continue as telecommunications and remote work become the norm. This trend positively impacted the power strip market by increasing demand for power strips due to the increased density of electronic equipment in residential applications.
• The power strip market is predicted to be hampered by stringent rules and regulations. Power strip manufacturers must meet several standards and compliances when producing their products. These rules may differ from one country to another country. Every electronic device or equipment should meet the requirements established by the regulatory authorities in the region in which it is made. As a result, manufacturers face a significant issue because a power strip that meets the compliances of one region may not meet the compliances of another.
