Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Automatic Transfer Switch Market size is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 10.2% CAGR during the forecast period.

The International Trade Administration (ITA) says that Canada is one of the best places in the world to use clean, renewable energy. In 2019, about 65% of all the power made came from hydro, wind, solar, and other sources like biomass, geothermal, and marine/tidal wave energy. Therefore, the North America region would acquire 1/5th revenue in 2030. Many businesses and factories also have backup power systems if the main power goes out. The market may also proliferate because of the growth of ICT (information and communication technology), which needs a steady power source. Many more automated factories and smart buildings with built-in automation systems are being used in this region. These systems include AT switches and other related goods like PLCs, sensors, actuators, controllers, etc. Some of the factors impacting the market are continuous growth of uninterrupted power applications, growing usage of microgrid networks, and impact of regulatory standards on ATS designs.

Many countries have power outages because power grids are stressed due to rising population, rising energy demand, and old power equipment. Power outages hurt end users, making it harder for utilities to make money and widening the gap between supply and demand. Unexpected power blackouts and brownouts have made people want backup power sources like generators and UPS systems that work well and are reliable. Additionally, one of the main things driving the rise of the market is the rising popularity of microgrids. There are also more commercial and residential units in rural places, which puts more stress on the utility. A lot of different loads can get stable and long-lasting power from microgrids. In turn, this will help the demand for es grow. Therefore, the increasing popularity of microgrids is positively affecting the growth of automatic transfer switches.

However, Various international and regional electrical commissions regulate the market, and all ATS products that enter the market are subjected to stringent regulations. As the technical and manufacturing standards vary from country to country, it spells additional costs for the manufacturers in designing different architecture based on the country's requirements. Every automatic transfer switch must have a short circuit withstand and close-on rating (WCR). Certification delays can slow product development and time-to-market, making it difficult for manufacturers to respond quickly to changing customer needs and market demands. Therefore, such factors will impede the market's growth during the forecast period.

End-Use Outlook

Based on the end-use, the market is categorized into residential, commercial, and industrial. In 2022, the residential segment gained the maximum revenue share in the market. The segment is growing due to improvements in domestic transfer switches, which include many smart, intelligent, and easy-to-use features. A transfer switch can be used for just a few circuits or the whole house for homes with backup generators. The delay function, as well as generator signal input, also set the stage for smart handling of the generator when it is used as a backup power source. Another thing that the fire safety signal input of ATS does is meet the requirements for fireproof home buildings.

Transition Mode Outlook

On the basis of transition mode, the market is segmented into open, soft load, closed, and delayed. In 2022, the closed segment gained the highest revenue share in the market. In this mode, the switch will stay in touch with both power sources (grid and generator) until a stable link is made. The connection is usually kept for about a tenth of a second, so there is no real risk of backfeeding or dangerous overlap. Businesses that can't risk a short power outage often use these instead of open-transfer switches because they don't stop the power. Large companies, hospitals, data centers, and similar places fall into this category.

Switching Mechanism Outlook

Based on the switching mechanism, the market is divided into contractor and circuit. The circuit segment acquired a noteworthy revenue share in the market in 2022. Circuit switching mechanisms are known for their reliability in providing a stable and uninterrupted power supply. By automating the transfer process, ATS helps prevent power disruptions that could affect sensitive equipment and critical processes in various industries. Many ATS systems with circuit switching mechanisms are designed to integrate with advanced monitoring and control systems. This integration allows for real-time monitoring of power conditions and facilitates proactive measures to address potential issues before they lead to power failures.
