KSA and MEA Busway-Bus Duct Market Expected to Reach $1,284.4 million by 2033

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “The KSA And MEA Busway-Bus Duct Market by Type, Voltage, And End User: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033”. The KSA And MEA Busway-Bus Duct Market size was valued at $741.4 million in 2023 and is estimated to reach $1,284.4 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2033.

A busway or bus duct is an electrical distribution system used to efficiently transfer high currents across industrial, commercial, and residential buildings. It consists of insulated copper or aluminum conductors enclosed within a protective metallic casing. The system provides a compact and flexible alternative to traditional cable wiring, allowing easy routing of power between switchboards, transformers, and loads.

Bus ducts can be utilized in various settings, including industrial plants, commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and many where electricity needs to be distributed with low voltage drop. Bus duct is not only suited for high-amperage applications, but is efficient for both low- and high-amperage scenarios. Bus duct systems are available in ratings from 100A to 6500A, with low-amperage applications found in high-tech industries like computer manufacturing, while high-amperage systems are essential for heavy assembly sectors, such as automotive industry.

In addition, busway systems are highly versatile. Innovations such as elbows and offsets provide significant layout flexibility, allowing for easy adaptation to directional changes. Tap-off units or additional sections can be integrated to accommodate load variations. However, there are instances where cable and conduit are more suitable, such as in environments exposed to corrosive vapors, where bus duct installation is not advisable.

The KSA and MEA busway-bus duct market is experiencing notable growth driven by rapid urbanization, increase in industrialization, and rise in government initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure. For instance, Saudi Vision 2030 emphasizes infrastructure development, and energy systems. As urbanization continues, there will be increased demand for efficient power distribution solutions in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. The construction of commercial complexes, manufacturing plants, and data centers fuel the need for busway-bus duct systems.

Moreover, the trend of sustainability is encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient bus duct systems. For instance, projects such as the NEOM City development in KSA focus on creating smart cities with advanced energy management systems, incorporating busway technology to optimize power distribution.

However, the market faces certain restraints, including the high initial installation costs and competition from traditional cable and conduit systems. In addition, limited awareness of the benefits of bus duct technology among smaller enterprises can hinder market penetration.

Commonly available types of busducts are isolated phase bus duct, segregated phase bus duct, and non-segregated phase bus duct. Out of these three types, non-segregated phase bus duct held a major market share in terms of revenue generated in the KSA and MEA busway-bus duct market in 2023. This is due to the fact that non-segregated phase bus ducts are cheaper and can easily be used for low voltages as well as for the lower range of the medium voltage segment.

Busducts are suitable for low, medium, and high voltage applications in residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. The medium voltage segment which ranges from 600V to 33,000V dominated the market in 2023 in terms of revenue. In addition, the industrial segment held the highest market share in 2023 in terms of revenue, however, the commercial segment is anticipated to grow with a higher CAGR during the forecast period.

Moreover, growing emphasis on renewable energy projects and smart grid developments in the regions is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the busway-bus duct market growth. Middle Eastern country such as UAE and Qatar are investing heavily in solar and wind energy, creating a demand for robust electrical infrastructure.

For instance, The United Arab Emirates aims to achieve 25% of installed capacity using renewables by 2025 and 45% in energy consumption by 2050. Dubai has also set a goal to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, and 70% by 2050. Similarly, Qatar aims to meet 20% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2030. Further, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority's plans to enhance its grid infrastructure indicate a positive outlook for bus duct systems in the region, reinforcing their role in modernizing power distribution networks.
