Global Safety Switches Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global safety switches market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global safety switches market will grow steadily at a CAGR of around 6% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the increasing demand for electricity and power distribution systems as one of the primary factors that will contribute towards the growth of this market. Recent regulations and government policies demand countries to revamp their decade-old power grid distribution and transmission lines. Moreover, the estimated increase in power generation will also demand for better infrastructure, which will again drive the growth of the safety switches market. Additionally, the increase in residential constructions and the recent rise in replacements of conventional meters with smart meters will also have a positive impact on the growth of the electrical safety switches market during the forecast period.

Benefits like low maintenance costs, resistance to chemicals, versatility in operation, and machine design flexibility have increased the demand for stainless steel switches. Stainless steel switches offer extreme operational susceptibility to harsh operating conditions and are suitable for use in industrial operations, especially waste and chemical processing. This growing preference for stainless steel safety switches will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the next four years. 

Segmentation by end-user and analysis of the safety switches market

• Residential
• Commercial
