Automatic Transfer Switch Market Trends
-
A high rate of industrialization and urbanization fuels market growth
Rapid industrialization and urbanization are driving the market CAGR for transfer switches. People are urbanizing at a tremendous pace in this era of rapid technological development. The adoption of cutting-edge and creative technologies is growing in rural and disadvantaged places.
As a result of the rapid growth of urbanization around the world, a great number of structures, including residential buildings and commercial infrastructures, are being built across a wide area. Furthermore, many people are moving from rural to urban regions, necessitating the building of new homes and transfer switches. This is owing to the fact that turning on these lights, lamps, and other electronic devices requires the use of controllers.
Aside from the need for a steady source of energy, an automatic switch is the easiest way to convert from utilities to generator feed. Businesses can allow the switchover to occur automatically rather than looking for manual switches after the lights go out, which is the only condition that completely protects a facility from the visual impacts of a power outage while yet allowing the business to operate normally. If users run a small business and the generator is located in a convenient utility room, employing a manual switch may be acceptable.
However, during major power outages, automatic transfer switches are used to convert electricity from the utility feed to the onsite backup generator. As a result, unexpected power outages and brownouts have increased demand for stable and efficient backup power sources like generators and UPS systems, which will boost the automated transfer switches market during the forecast period.
For instance, Generac introduced an Automatic Transfer Switch with integrated home energy monitoring. The introduction of the PWRview ATS highlights the switch's Home Energy Monitoring System (HEMS). It allows a home with a backup generator to acquire significant and rapid cost-saving insights on its energy consumption. Thus, driving the Automatic Transfer Switch Market revenue.
Automatic Transfer Switch Market Segment Insights
Automatic Transfer Switch Switching Mechanism Insights
The Automatic Transfer Switch Market segmentation, based on the Switching Mechanism, includes the Contactor and Circuit. In 2023, the contactor category dominated the automatic transfer switch market, accounting for the vast majority of worldwide revenue. This segment accounted for a large proportion due to increased demand, primarily from the increasing expansion of industrial sectors, particularly manufacturing plants, which required the reliable functioning of high-voltage operations via ATS systems.
Automatic Transfer Switch Transition Mode Insights
The Automatic Transfer Switch Market is segmented by Transition Mode, including Soft Load, Closed, Delayed, and Open. During the projection period, closed segments will account for the largest market share. A closed transition automatic transfer switch employs a "make before break" function based on recent electrical technology improvements. These systems reduce or eliminate the momentary power stutter that open systems cause by allowing the utility and generator/backup to overlap briefly. Such advantages help to drive market expansion.
Automatic Transfer Switch End-Use Insights
The Automatic Transfer Switch Market segmentation, based on End-Use, includes Residential, Commercial, and Industrial. In 2023, the residential segment dominated the transfer switch market in terms of revenue. Residential transfer switches have evolved to offer a variety of clever, intelligent, and user-friendly features. A transfer switch can be utilized for the entire house or just a few circuits in homes equipped with standby generators.
