Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global vacuum interrupters market will grow at a CAGR of close to 6% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growth in smart grid technology as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Smart grids monitor and control power flows from the point of generation to consumption, enhancing predictability, visibility, and efficient management of the production and demand. Additionally, they also facilitate the integration of intermittent energy generation from renewable sources and also aid in peak load management. This will drive the adoption of smart grid technology, which will subsequently drive the growth of the vacuum interrupters market since they are used in switch disconnectors and reclosers and they are an essential component in the establishment of smart grids.
The integration of renewable energy sources into power grids is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the vacuum interrupters market in the coming years. The integration of renewable energy sources into the smart grids will help reduce the carbon footprint of the electric power system. The high rate of renewable energy production necessitates the need for adequate and reliable power transmission, which is provided by the smart grid. The growing importance of smart grids, energy conservation, and the creation of energy through renewable sources, will boost the growth of the market for vacuum interrupters.
The vacuum interrupters market is characterized by the presence of large and established vendors and is intensely competitive.

In recent times, we are surrounded by more and more electrical device, it calls for the transmission of more electrical energy through the grid. But more power means increased risk of fire and electrical hazard. Vacuum interrupters are switching device that use electrical contacts (switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers) in a vacuum. Vacuum interrupters are mainly used in vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), which compared to conventional oil circuit breakers are more safe and efficient. Apart from that they are also used in load switches, motor contactors, and reclosers, and is a core component of medium-voltage switches. Due to its superior performance compared to its alternative, Technavio is working on an upcoming report for the global vacuum interrupters market for the forecast period of 2017 to 2021, which includes use in various electrical applications, technological advancements, and competitive landscape.
The upcoming report on global vacuum interrupters follows a detailed approach using primary and secondary research and using appropriate analytical tools to measure the growth potential of the market.
