Circuit Breaker Market Worth $28.36 Bn by 2030 as Grid Modernization Investments and Utilities Expand | Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India , Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the global circuit breaker market is projected to grow from USD 21.61 billion in 2025 to USD 28.36 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 5.59% during the forecast period.
The growth in circuit breaker market is fueled by investments in grid upgrades, clean energy integration, and industrial electrification. Medium-voltage systems are seeing increased demand due to the rise of distributed solar and wind setups. Data centers and EV infrastructure are driving adoption of solid-state and vacuum technologies, while environmental regulations are pushing a shift from SF₆ to greener alternatives. At the same time, manufacturers face margin pressure from volatile copper and chip prices, balancing innovation with cost efficiency.
Key Market Insights
Data Centers Push for Reliable Switching
With downtime costing millions, data centers are investing in high-performance breakers equipped with smart diagnostics and secure communication. These systems are tailored to meet stringent uptime and cybersecurity demands, reinforcing the need for resilient power protection.
Renewable Growth Fuels Breaker Innovation
As solar and wind installations multiply, grid equipment must adapt to unpredictable power flows. Fast-switching breakers and solid-state designs are becoming essential to handle complex fault conditions and meet evolving compliance standards in energy markets.
Infrastructure Upgrades Spark Modernization
Power utilities are replacing aging systems with smarter, more responsive technologies. Vacuum-based breakers with real-time monitoring are gaining traction due to their reliability and low maintenance. Government-backed investments and large-scale transmission projects are accelerating this shift, especially in regions prioritizing digital infrastructure.
