Key Industry Insights & Findings from the report:
Glass is a fantastic electrical insulator because of its high dielectric strength. Glass can serve as an electrical insulator in either its toughened or annealed forms. Transmission towers and distribution poles are common locations for these devices. Because of its insulating properties, glass insulators are increasingly being used in electrical components, surge protection devices, cables, and switchgear. This demand is fueled by the expansion of technology in the electrical, distribution & railway, smart grid, and other sectors. As a result, demand for glass insulators is expected to rise. Due to its high dielectric and tensile strength, glass insulators are commonly employed as surge protectors in off-grid equipment, transformers, and substations. Costly raw materials used to produce glass insulators and stricter regulations on carbon dioxide emissions have hampered the market's growth.
In addition, key players increased focus on new product development and strategic collaborations led to the growth of the global glass insulators market. Companies in the glass insulators market can anticipate substantial development prospects and increased spending on cutting-edge technology. It drives expansion globally and is expected to boost market expansion in the coming years. Furthermore, increasing R&D activities and investments by prominent players are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in revenue for players operating in the global glass insulators market over the forecast period.
The glass insulators market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, suspension glass insulators and pin glass insulators. By application segment comprises distribution & railway applications, HVDC applications, and HVAC applications services.
The suspension glass insulators glass insulators category is expected to record a major global market share in 2022. Due to its insulating property and high electrical resistance property, suspension glass insulator is used widely as electrical parts for surge protection device in cables, switchgear, and smart grid. This is because of the rise in industrialization, urbanization, disposable income, and the electrical, distribution, HVAC, and smart grid industries.
The HVAC applications services segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global glass insulators market because AC power is needed for today's appliances. Converting DC power to AC requires more expensive converter stations installed at terminals. Therefore, the need for adaptable AC transmission tools is anticipated to rise, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American glass insulators market is expected to register the maximum market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to the insulator sector developments. Glass insulators are needed for new transmission lines and substations to accommodate renewable energy installations. Possible increased demand for glass insulators in the region due to the advent of cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
In addition, the presence of key market competitors and improvements in glass insulator technology fuel expansion in the region's industries. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global glass insulators market, boosting electrical power output. Higher voltage transmission lines are needed, which in turn require high voltage glass insulators and growing financial support from the business.
