Transient Protection Device Market Size

Transient Protection Device Market Analysis

The Transient Protection Device market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.1% during 2022-2027. The market's growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for transient protection devices to protect the new, innovative electrical and electronic gadgets installed in homes and offices. The devices' capacity to reduce electricity bills by reducing the power utilized by gadgets is also predicted to play a significant role in the development of the market during the forecast period. The increasing operating costs stemming from power quality issues, alternative energy programs being pursued aggressively worldwide, and frequent equipment failure are some of the other factors contributing to the market growth.

• The focus of major economies like the United States, China, Japan, India, etc., on developing energy-efficient electrical systems across multiple industrial sectors is adding to the upsurge in demand for transient protection devices. For instance, the Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO), a unit of the Indian Railways has developed a center called CAMTECH (Centre for Advanced Maintenance Technology). CAMTECH aims to increase the productivity and performance of all railway assets and workforce by upgrading maintenance technologies and procedures by including lightning and transient protection device arrangements in integrated power supply for signalling installations.
• In recent years, to achieve carbon neutral environment, the demand for renewable energy has increased, and ensuring the reliability of power grids has become more important. In addition, there is a requirement to enhance the resilience of transmission and substation equipment for large-scale lightning strikes. Resultantly, the demand for transient protection devices is expected to witness an uptick.
• Additionally, the rising demand for smart power strips is also contributing to boost the market's growth. Customers are in great demand for Wi-Fi-enabled power strips due to their ability to automatically create schedules, timers, and monitor energy usage. Therefore, several businesses are working towards offering Wi-Fi-enabled power strips, to serve as a comprehensive solution to their customers. For instance, APC is offering a smart transient protection WI-FI enabled Power strip with 3 Alexa Smart Plugs, USB Charger Ports, and 2160 Joules of Smart Plug transient Protection.
• Further, the need for smart home-enabled transient protection devices is predicted to rise with the rise in smart gadget use, smart home technology, and smart city projects. For instance, in October 2021, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the allocation of USD 61 million to ten pilot projects that would use new technologies to turn thousands of homes and businesses into advanced, energy-efficient structures. These Connected Communities may communicate with the electrical grid to optimize their energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions and energy prices.
• However, the challenges in designing compact transient protection devices with enhanced protection levels will likely restrain the market's growth. For example, high functional transient protection devices include numerous components that must be placed in parallel arrays in the circuit. Individual suppression components may have to endure greater energy than the adjacent due to poor mechanical design, and this is causing fluctuations in the performance level between the theoretical model and real devices. 
• Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic also has had a negative impact on the Transient Protection Device market's growth by severely impacting the supply for the device production. Further, due to a lack of site access and deficiencies in raw materials, manufacturers of various electronic components, including transient protection devices, faced short-term operational challenges.
