Bus Duct Market Data & Statistics

Market Dynamics

Introduction 

What is bus duct?

Bus ducts are an electrical distribution system utilized for the efficient and safe transmission and distribution of high-current power. They are a metal enclosure that holds copper or aluminum busbars to transmit power, providing a space-saving and flexible option to cable systems. Their modularity, safety features, and easy installation make bus ducts perfect for contemporary power distribution systems, particularly where there are space limitations or high current loads.

The bus duct market is one of the fastest-growing segments, driven by accelerating industrialization and infrastructural development. Bus ducts have extensive applications in the construction industry for efficient power distribution. This market is segmented into voltage, material, and end-user types. The future of the bus duct market is defined by factors such as advancements in power distribution systems, inclination towards green energy sources, and the need for sustainability all around.

Market Drivers:

Incorporation of Clean Energy into Power Distribution Systems

• Incorporation of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro energies into power grids surges the global demand for bus ducts. According to several reports, countries need to create a renewable energy mix and increase clean energy capacity by 2030.
• These steps are drawing global attention towards emphasizing sustainable energy to limit carbon emissions and mitigate climate change.  This newly developed energy primarily supplements smart grid systems, creating a significant demand for bus ducts for efficient power distribution.

Market Challenges:

Widespread Accessibility of Conventional Cables

• Conventional cables have been actively present in the market for so many decades, and their easy accessibility and installation remain the biggest challenge for bus duct competitors. The market history of traditional cables gives it an edge, as most of the infrastructure planners opt for them.
• While bus ducts come with detailed planning, special fittings, and aligned installation, conventional cables are ideal for applications with odd or compact layouts. Manufacturers face this obstruction in the widespread use of bus ducts in the global market.

Market Opportunities:

Implementation of Smart Grid Technologies in Energy-Efficient Systems

• The global inclination towards green energy is opening up immense growth opportunities for the bus duct market. Bus ducts help integrate such renewable energy sources into power distribution systems. For instance, in solar farms, bus ducts ensure the efficient transmission of electricity from inverters to substations with reduced energy loss. 
• Increasing the setup of smart grids requires more efficient ways of power distribution, which will propel the robust demand for bus duct market worldwide.

Market Segments' Analysis

By Material Type

“Aluminium is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.”

• The bus duct market is segmented by material type into copper, aluminium.
• Aluminium is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period because it offers a balance between service and cost effectiveness. Aluminium is the preferred material because of its lightweight and provides good electrical conductivity.
• This ease makes it possible for project developers and managers to plan budget-friendly provisions without compromising on quality and product performance. The segment’s market is also driven by the wider adaptability of solar panels and windmill installations, where the cost and weight benefits are both aligned.   

By End-use Type 

“Commercial segment is anticipated to have the largest market share during the forecast period.”

• The bus duct market is segmented by end-use type into utilities, industrial, and commercial.
• Commercial segment is anticipated to have the largest market share during the forecast period due to increased demand for efficient and reliable power distribution systems for commercial infrastructure, including buildings, malls, offices, educational institutions, and data centres.
• With the rapid urbanisation and infrastructural development, the demand for the commercial segment is also increasing as they are best suited for power distribution in high-rise buildings due to their ease of installation and reduced maintenance.

Regional Analysis

“Asia Pacific is expected to be the dominant and fastest-growing region over the forecasted period.”

• Based on region, the bus duct market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world.
• Asia Pacific is expected to be the dominant and fastest-growing region over the forecasted period, due to rapid urbanization, infrastructural development, and industrial growth. Asia Pacific’s countries are also heavily investing in renewable energy projects and smart grid modernization, fostering the demand for bus ducts.
• Furthermore, the shifting trends towards digitalization play a significant role in ensuring power distribution in data centers and technology hubs. Thus, the APAC region is fuelling the demand for bus ducts in the global market.
