Protective Relay Market: Growing Investments in Electrical Infrastructure to Boost the Market Growth

The global Protective Relay Market is projected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2025 from an estimated market size of USD 2.0 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The factors driving the market include increasing renewable energy capacity addition. Additionally, the replacement of old electromechanical and static relays with new numeric relays are creating growth opportunities for the protective relay market.

The Utility segment is expected to hold the largest share of the protective relay market

Utilities had the largest share (45%) of the protective relay market, by end-users, in 2019. This is due to the large scale use of protective relay by utilities in various applications, such as transformers, feeders, busbars, and high voltage substations. The utility segment is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period due to the development of new distribution network and grid expansion projects, replacement of old electromechanical protective relays with new and more advanced numeric relays, substation automation for improved power quality, and implementation of smart grids for better grid management.

The transformer is expected to be the largest segment of the protective relay market

The transformer segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period due to the continuous maintenance of electricity distribution infrastructure and the expansion and upgrading of the power grid and to accommodate fluctuating renewable energy in Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe.

The digital & numerical segment of the protective relay is expected to grow at the highest rate.

The digital & numerical segment is expected to grow at the highest rate, owing to an increased focus on substation automation, smart grid implementation, and distribution and transmission infrastructure development. Digital & numeric protective relays are advanced relays that feature multiple protection functions in one unit, along with metering, communication, self-test functions, and others. These relays use software-based protection algorithms for the detection of faults and are also known as micro-processor type protective relays. These types of advanced features of digital relay make them more attractive in the market than the other electromechanical relay.
