Ground fault generally occurs when a current carrying conductor comes in contact with a ground causing leakage. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protects a person from getting severe shock, which unintentionally becomes a part of the electric path between source and the ground surface. GFCIs help to prevent deadly shock by quickly shutting off the power to the circuit if electricity flowing into the circuit differs by even slight amount from that returning, signifying a leakage. Increase in adoption of GFCIs in place of conventional receptacle in order to provide protection to anyone against short circuit or electrocutions who plugs an electrical device into an electrical system is the primary factor predicted to accelerate the demand for GFCIs across various residential and commercial applications. The main objective of this organization is to reduce electrical injuries and fire; saving lives and property through public education and outreach. This in turn, is projected to augment the demand for GFCIs receptacles.
However, lack of awareness about the installation is the major factor that limits the growth of global GFCI receptacles market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The unfavorable global effects of COVID-19 are already evident and had a big impact on the GFCI receptacles market in 2020.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a public health emergency after the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019. The disease has spread to over 100 nations and resulted in massive deaths globally. Exports & imports, global manufacturing, tourism, and financial sectors have all been heavily damaged.
- The downward pressure on the global economy, which had previously shown signs of improvement, has escalated once more. The outbreak of the virus has added danger factors to the international economy's already sluggish development. Many international groups have stated that the global economy is experiencing its most difficult moment since the financial crisis.
- Since the pandemic, the restriction of imports and exports has affected the GFCI receptacles market to a great extent as consumers’ consumption and demand patterns are changing amidst the pandemic.
Top Impacting Factors
The rise in adoption of GFCIs over conventional receptacle to protect electrocutions or short circuit is the primary factor the pushes the demand for ground fault circuit interrupters in the market. The growth of GFCIs is being witnessed across several commercial and residential applications. In addition, in order to protect the consumers from electric shocks, the government is taking several initiatives. These initiatives are encouraging consumers to install GFCIs as it helps in protecting against severe electrocution hazards particularly in residential sectors, including hot tubs, bathroom, garages, and pump room.
Market Trends
- Growing Awareness Regarding Electrical Safety Promotes Market Growth
- The rise in safety awareness among consumers towards protection of electrical appliances from electrical fire hazard and to prevent against electrocution is one of the most important factor anticipated to boost the adoption rate of ground fault circuit interrupter at an extensive rate during the forecast period. ESFI (Electrical Safety Foundation International) is entirely dedicated towards encouraging electrical safety at commercial and residential areas. In the last few years, EFCI has been dedicatedly organizing a National Electrical Safety Month across different places including school, communities and workplace environments for generating consciousness among the people towards various electrical safety measures.
- Increase in Demands in North-America and Asia-Pacific is Key Driver
- The global ground fault circuit interrupter market is anticipated to be majorly driven by North America in terms of market share holding and is expected to maintain its dominating position in the coming years. On the other hand, demand for GFCI in Asia-Pacific is predicted to experience a rapid growth rate in the coming years and is expected to increase its market penetration during the forecast period. Increase in demand for effective and efficient electrical load management system from the rapidly growing industrial sector is the primary factor responsible for the growing demand for GFCIs in this region.
- Government Aid and Support Helps Market to Grow
- Initiatives taken by governments to encourage installation of GFCIs in order to provide protection against severe electrocution hazards across various residential secto GFCIs also help prevent electrical fires and reduce the harshness of other fires by interrupting the current flow in a circuit. In many cases, GFCIs and AFCIs can be installed collectively to provide the most advanced protection technology to a circuit.
