Global Distribution Boards Market: Synopsis

A distribution board is also referred to as an electric panel breaker panel or panel board. It is a component of an electric distribution network that divides an electric power flow into different channels while supplying each circuit with a circuit breaker in a sole frame. Precisely, a distribution board is an aspect of a power supply composition that divides an electrical power feed into supplementary circuits, while offering a protecting fuse for each circuit. Reportedly, in new boards, a main switch and additional residual current breakers with over-current protection remain integrated.  Apart from this, distribution boards are finding massive applications in provisional electrical installations.

Surging acceptance of smart grid technology & renovation of energy infrastructure to open new horizons of growth for the global distribution boards market. Furthermore, the launching of new technology for smart distribution boards enabling the removal of inefficiency and overloads along with helping in improving operational efficiency will create new growth opportunities for the global market.

Distribution Boards Market: Challenges

Easy availability of counterfeit products at cost-effective rates can pose a humungous challenge to the industry surge

Availability of counterfeit products at reasonable costs and access to alternatives can pose a big challenge to the expansion of the global distribution boards industry.

Distribution Boards Market: Segmentation

The global distribution boards market is sectored into voltage type, end-user, and region.

In terms of voltage type, the global distribution board market is divided into low-voltage and medium-voltage segments. Apparently, the medium voltage segment is predicted to record the highest CAGR during the forecast timeline. The segmental surge over the forecast period can be credited to a rise in investments in transmission & distribution infrastructure, construction & infrastructural activities, and renewable power units.  Huge demand for medium voltage distribution boards in industrial and commercial sectors will steer the segmental surge over the years to come.

Based on the end-user, the global distribution boards industry is bifurcated into transmission & distribution utilities, manufacturing & processing industry, and commercial & residential sector segments. Furthermore, the transmission & distribution utilities segment is projected to account for the largest share of the global industry in the upcoming years.

The growth of the segment over the assessment timeframe can be due to the refurbishment of transmission & distribution infrastructure in the developed countries of Europe and North America. In addition to this, the increase in deployment of solar panels with the focus of various governments on encouraging and optimizing the use of renewable energy with an objective of maintaining a clean & environment has led to the extensive application of distribution boards in the electrical grid for ensuring its safety. This, in turn, will steer the growth of the segment in the foreseeable future.
