Contactors Market Analysis Market Research Future (MRFR) has recently published an in-depth report on the global contactors market after a thorough analysis of the macro and micro-economic factors that are likely to affect the growth of the Contactors Market Size over the forecast period of 2018-2023. MRFR’s analysis has projected a CAGR of 7.53% over the forecast period. Contactors are the name given to special relays which are used to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts. They have multiple contacts and are typically used in the control of electrical motors. Contactors are designed to carry high loads and are equipped with additional safety features. They are used in applications such as motor starters, pumps, cranes, welding, resistance furnaces, lighting, and HVAC. Contactors are capable of breaking current over a wide range of currents, from a few amperes to thousands of amperes. Plus, these electrical components are available in varying sizes and designs. The need for power is increasing at a torrid pace. Moreover, there is an increasing need for effective and efficient load management, which has increased the usage of contactors. Increasing replacement of air break contacts with vacuum contactors is a key factor which is boosting the growth of the contactors market. In addition, growing investment in aging transmission and distribution infrastructure is generating demand for contactors. Contactors are even used as magnetic starters, which is adding to the demand within the market. Other factors substantiating the growth of the contactors market include expanding the commercial and industrial sector and up-gradation of electrical and power infrastructure across the globe. Conversely, the growth of the contactors market is likely to be deterred by high costs associated with contactors and a high level of expertise involved in the designing of contactors. Segmentation The global contactors market has been segmented based on voltage and end user. By voltage, the contactors market has been segmented into low voltage and medium voltage. By end user, the contactors market has been segmented into building & construction industry, chemicals & petrochemicals industry, foods & beverages industry, metals & mining industry, and other industries. Regional Analysis Region-wise, the contactors market has been segmented into North America, Rest-of-the-World (RoW), Europe, and Asia Pacific (APAC). The APAC is the largest market for contactors.
