The ground fault circuit interrupter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.51 billion in 2025 to $2.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to implementation of electrical safety regulations, increasing residential electrification, growth of construction activities, rising awareness of electrical shock hazards, adoption of gfci protection in wet locations.
The ground fault circuit interrupter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.42 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter electrical safety codes, expansion of smart homes and buildings, growth of electric vehicle charging installations, increasing outdoor electrical infrastructure, rising focus on fire and shock prevention. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of smart and self testing gfci devices, rising demand for weather resistant and tamper resistant gfcis, increasing integration of gfcis in smart building electrical systems, expansion of gfci usage in outdoor and harsh environments, growing focus on compact and easy to install gfci designs.
The rising incidence of electrical accidents is expected to drive the growth of the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) market. Electrical accidents involve situations where individuals suffer injury or harm due to electricity-related hazards. This increase is often linked to growing complexity in electrical systems, aging infrastructure, and inadequate maintenance or safety practices. GFCIs play a critical role in preventing such accidents by quickly cutting off power when a ground fault is detected, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock and electrocution. For example, in June 2025, the OSHA Online Center, a US-based e-learning provider, reported that over 1.2 million electrical injuries are recorded globally each year, alongside a notable rise in OSHA citations. Therefore, the increasing number of electrical accidents is fueling the growth of the ground fault circuit interrupter market.
Companies in the GFCI market are focusing on advanced product development to stay competitive, such as introducing IP69K-rated products. An IP69K-rated GFCI, specifically a 20A model, is designed to offer exceptional protection against water and dust ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial and outdoor conditions. For instance, Molex LLC, a US-based consumer electronics company, launched the Super-Safeway GFCI in January 2023. This portable device is notable for being the first GFCI to achieve an IP69K rating, which ensures superior protection against high-pressure water and dust. The device features double insulation, excellent sealing, and a durable, impact-resistant design, making it ideal for industrial environments requiring high safety standards to prevent electrical shocks and equipment damage.
In February 2023, Littelfuse Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Western Automation Research and Development Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Littelfuse aimed to accelerate its growth in the rapidly expanding e-mobility off-board charging infrastructure market and broaden its capabilities across various industrial markets and applications. Western Automation Research and Development Ltd., based in Ireland, specializes in the design and production of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) technologies and products.
Major companies operating in the ground fault circuit interrupter market are Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Eaton, Emerson Electric, Legrand, Hubbell Incorporated, Sensata Technologies, Littelfuse, Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc., Lex Products Corporation, I-Gard Corporation, Tower Manufacturing Corporation, Tecmark Corporation, ELEGRP, Yueqing Nandao Electromachinery Co. Ltd., Zhejiang YatAI Intelligent Electric Co. Ltd., General Electric (GE Industrial Solutions), Intermatic Incorporated, Hager Group, CHINT Group, Fuji Electric Co. Ltd., Wenzhou Trimone Electric Co. Ltd.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on electrical components, circuit protection devices, copper parts, and manufacturing equipment have increased production costs and supply chain challenges in the gfci market. Receptacle and circuit breaker gfcis used in residential, commercial, and construction applications are most affected, particularly in North America and Asia Pacific where component sourcing is global. These tariffs have resulted in higher product prices and installation costs. However, they are also encouraging domestic manufacturing, localized component sourcing, and innovation in cost optimized and code compliant gfci designs to support long term electrical safety demand.
