[182 Pages Report] The Surge Arrester Market size was estimated at USD 1.18 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.24 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.16% to reach USD 1.68 billion by 2030.
Surge arresters are essential components in electrical systems that play a critical role in protecting infrastructure from voltage spikes. These devices are engineered to safely divert excessive voltage surges away from sensitive equipment, thereby preventing damage and ensuring operational continuity. Surge arresters are widely utilized across various industries, including telecommunications, power generation, and distribution systems. Their functionality hinges on their ability to conduct the surge current to the earth while blocking the normal operating current, effectively preventing the buildup of excess electrical pressure without disrupting the system’s normal operations. The increasing demand for electrical energy, the expansion of power distribution networks, and the rising emphasis on electrical infrastructure safety have contributed to the growing need for surge arresters. Additionally, regulatory policies focusing on energy efficiency and safety standards and the growing adoption of renewable energy sources contribute to the market expansion. However, technical limitations, the possibility of aging and degradation, and the inability of certain surge arresters to handle high voltages can raise concerns about the efficiency and reliability of surge arresters. Additionally, the vulnerability of power systems to cyber-attacks with the increasing smart grid deployments also poses a significant challenge. However, key players are exploring advancements in smart surge protection solutions integrating predictive analytics and IoT for real-time monitoring and blockchain technology to safeguard cybersecurity. The development of high-performance materials for surge arresters that ensure a longer lifespan and improved reliability under extreme conditions can also support the growth of surge arresters. Exploring cost-effective manufacturing processes and eco-friendly materials can address the challenges of high investment costs and environmental concerns.
Type: Ongoing advancements to improve the performance of polymeric surge arresters
Polymeric surge arresters are characterized by their housing material made of silicone or other polymers. These surge arresters are predominantly preferred in highly polluted areas and places prone to vandalism as they are lightweight, resistant to vandalism, and have excellent hydrophobic properties. Polymeric arresters are also favored for their superior performance in high humidity and coastal areas. Porcelain surge arresters, made with porcelain housing, are traditional arresters known for their durability and long service life. They are typically used in substations and power grids due to their high mechanical strength and stability. However, they are heavier and more fragile compared to polymeric arresters, making them less resistant to vandalism.
End User: Expanding usage of surge arresters in industries in recent years to safeguard crucial electrical appliances and equipment
Industries such as manufacturing, mining, and chemical plants heavily rely on surge arresters to protect their electrical equipment from voltage surges. The need in the industrial sector is primarily for durable, high-capacity arresters capable of withstanding the industrial environment’s harsh conditions. Compared to transportation and utilities, the industrial sector demands surge arresters with higher durability and customization options to meet specific environmental conditions. The transportation sector, encompassing rail, air, and marine, requires surge arresters for safeguarding navigation, communication, and control systems. The preference here leans towards compact, lightweight, and highly reliable surge arresters. Transportation applications generally prioritize space-saving and weight considerations more than industrial and utility sectors due to the limited space available on vehicles and vessels. Utilities, including electric power, water, and gas services, necessitate surge arresters to protect infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted service. The need here is for high-performance arresters that can handle extreme surge events and offer longevity. The utility sector places a stronger emphasis on reliability and the ability to withstand severe weather conditions compared to the industrial and transportation sectors.
