Protective Relay Market Major End-User Applications into Industries, Utilities, Renewables, and Marine.

The protective relay market is projected to reach USD 4.54 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. The increasing investments in transmission & distribution infrastructure—including substations—and transmission & distribution lines, coupled with the increasing urbanization in developing nations, have propelled the growth of the protective relay market. Substations in developed nations are being modernized to ensure uninterrupted power supply with minimum loss. This is achieved by replacing the traditional electromagnetic and static relays with advanced numeric and digital relays. These relays also retain the data, which allows utilities or other users to track power outages caused by faults. Furthermore, investments in smart grid technologies are increasing, especially in developed countries. Protective relays are an integral part of the power system and are therefore being continuously improved to increase protection levels.

Protective relays play a crucial role in several segments, including power generation, transmission & distribution, and equipment protection. Relays are installed in the circuit to minimize electrical failures caused by the transients and fault currents that flow through the circuit, and to mitigate their effects. These high-intensity fault currents can damage equipment or devices in the circuit. The protective relay market is segmented on the basis of voltage, protection mechanism, end-user, and region.

Feeder Protection Relays To Lead the Market during the Forecast Period

Feeder protection relays occupied the largest share of the protective relay market in 2015. Feeders are the current loading points of the transmission of distribution lines. They are present in the transmission network, distribution network, switchyards, and substations. The protection of feeders is essential to ensure uninterrupted power supply and to protect the lines along with the feeders.

Asia-Pacific: The Fastest-Growing Market for Protective Relays

Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold the largest market share, followed by North America and Europe. In terms of individual countries, the market is dominated by China. This can be attributed to the extensive electrical infrastructure upgradation and new transmission & distribution lines being installed in the country. China held the largest share of the global protective relay market in 2015. Rapid economic growth in BRICS nations are expected to drive the protective relay market in these nations. Protective relays will likely be used extensively in the new electrical transmission & distribution networks of BRICS countries.
