Data Center Transfer Switches And Switchgears Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Transfer Switch Type (Static Transfer Switches, Automatic Transfer Switches, Bypass Isolation Transfer Switches, Service Entrance Transfer Switches), By Switchgear Type (Low Voltage Power Control System, Medium Voltage Power Control System) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Industries of all types are deploying data centres owing to the increasing need to support and optimize the high volume of data. Increasing cloud adoption and rapidly growing data are further endorsing the deployment of a data centre. Data centers are playing a crucial role in the latest business innovation and computer processing applications. The massive and complex system architecture of data centers may collapse due to sudden power breakdown. The power backup and power controlling devices such as switchgear, including fuses, circuit breakers, and electrical disconnect switches are used in preventing, protecting, and isolating electrical equipment. Thus, the increasing need to control the electricity supply in the data centers is likely to drive the data center transfer switches and switchgear market growth. The rising number of data centers is supporting the adoption of power control and backup system devices.  

Today, business customers are demanding maximum data security with 24X7 hour IT support from data centers. This rising demand increases the need for reliable, uninterrupted data services, and power backup systems. Transfer switches are used to switch the load between backup and utility systems, which is escalating their demand in data centers power backup system. Also, the growing usage of switching devices in power backup and distributed systems is expected to fuel market growth. Moreover, growing electrical costs have increased the prominence of power supply management systems among the data center operators.

Key Players Covered:

Strategic partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions are the key strategies adopted by prominent players to uplift their market position. In March 2019, Siemens AG acquired United States-based RUSSELECTRIC INC. to strengthen its position in the low voltage power market. New product launches enhance the portfolio of product for sustaining business competence. Thus, many key companies are launching featured products. Several prominent companies are engaged in the product portfolio enhancements for improving the features and efficiency of switchgear and transfer switches.

Key companies summarised includes Schneider Electric SE (ASCO Power Technologies, L.P.), ABB Ltd, Caterpillar, Cummins Inc., Cesco Group of Companies, Eaton Corporation plc, Emerson Electric Co., Vertiv Group Corp, Titan Power, Inc., Siemens AG, Legrand, General Electric Company, and among others.

Regional Analysis:

North America is likely to hold a major share in the global market owing to the presence of a large number of prominent companies across the region. The increasing numbers of data centers across the region are also supportive of market growth. Tech giant companies such as Google Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Facebook Inc,  and Amazon.com are investing their efforts in the construction of advanced hyper-scale data centres. The development of hyper-scale data centers would drive the switchgear and transfer switches adoption. Further, growing demand for the 24X7 hours IT support from data centers resulted in the significant adoption of power backup and utility systems. Moreover, the increasing need to control electricity consumption at the data centers is further likely to drive the market growth across the United States. Thus, North America is expected to showcase noteworthy development in the data center transfer switches and switchgear market. 

Europe is probable to showcase a significant growth in the data center transfer switches and switchgear market in the coming years. Increasing investments in power backup systems are likely to drive the market growth across Europe. The trend of hyper-scale colocation facilities is expected to uplift the demand for power control systems and devices at data centers. Key players are expanding their business portfolios across the region, further supporting market growth. In April 2019, Eaton Corporation plc had acquired Turkey-based medium voltage electrical equipment manufacturing company ‘Ulusoy Elektrik Imalat Taahhut ve Ticaret A.S.’ The acquisition was aimed at expanding the company business across Eastern Europe.

The Asia Pacific is anticipated to demonstrate a high growth rate during the forecast period as the region leads in the adoption of power backup devices. Increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet generates the need to store and manage massive amounts of data. An increasing number of data centers coupled with the growing adoption of power backup and utility systems to drive market growth across the Asia-Pacific.
