Power Circuit Breaker Manufacturing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Powering Up: Despite Rising Import Penetration, Stronger Downstream Demand is Expected to Boost Growth

Power Circuit Breaker Manufacturing

The Power Circuit Breaker Manufacturing industry is expected to grow over the five years to 2018. Continued economic growth and recovering demand from the downstream commercial and residential construction sector have accelerated growth over the past five years. Over the five years to 2023, downstream markets will likely continue to grow, leading to greater demand for newly manufactured circuit breakers. Imports, however, are expected to accelerate over the next five years as the US dollar appreciates, decreasing the relative price of imported goods. As foreign competition rises, companies will increasingly eliminate peripheral labor and move operations overseas to maintain profitability. Remaining operations will be increasingly automated to mitigate higher wage costs.

This industry manufactures power circuit breakers that protect electrical circuits from anomalies in power supply, including overflooding or short circuiting. Various kinds of circuit breakers provide differing dimensions, depending on the user’s need. Industry products are widely used by customers ranging from corporate enterprises to households. This industry does not include fuses, knife switches, panelboards nor distribution switchboards.
