Medium and High Voltage Protective Relay - Global Market Size, Segmentation and Competitive Landscape Analysis to 2020

Medium and High Voltage Protective Relay - Global Market Size, Segmentation and Competitive Landscape Analysis to 2020 Reference Code: GDPE1046MAR Publication Date: August 2012 The Growing Medium and High Voltage Protective Relay Market The global Medium Voltage and High Voltage (MVHV) protective relay market is currently valued at $XX billion, and is expected to double in size by 2020. Reasons for this growth in the market include investments in new infrastructure projects due largely to increased electricity consumption, and an increasing number of retrofit projects. Electricity consumption grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of XX% between 2006 and 2011 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of XX% between 2012 and 2020. Following this, there is expected to be increased investment in installed power generation capacity, as well as Transmission and Distribution (T&D) infrastructure such as substations, transmission lines, distribution lines and other equipment. This will result in increased market demand for MVHV protective relays. Furthermore, global growth in the industrial sector is also expected to boost the MVHV protective relay market. The changing standards of the industry and requirements of expansion and replacement of old units will lead to an increasing number of retrofit projects. Medium and High Voltage Protective Relay Market, Global, Market Revenue ($bn), 2011-2020 China Expected to Drive the Protective Relay Market Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) have high global shares of new-build T&D infrastructure, and as a result are expected to be major drivers of the protective relay market. Of these four, China accounts for the dominating share, constituting XX% of the global MVHV revenue, and it is expected that it will continue to drive the market over the forecast period. The Chinese protective relay market grew at a CAGR of over XX% between 2006 and 2011, and it is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period as well.

2 Introduction According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), a relay is an electric device that is designed to respond to input conditions in a prescribed manner and, after specified conditions are met, to cause contact operation or similar abrupt change in associated electric control circuits. In other words, protective relays are used to sense abnormally low or high voltage in a system and trigger a circuit breaker once the fault is sensed. The current global Medium Voltage and High Voltage (MVHV) protective relay market is valued at $XX billion, and this is expected to double by 2020. The most prominent reasons for this growth in the market include increased investments in infrastructure and also an increasing number of retrofit projects. Market revenues for MVHV protective relays are growing at a steady rate. The power generation, transmission, and distribution sector accounts for the largest share of market revenues, followed by the industrial sector. MVHV relays are typically not bought by residential customers, and this demographic does not account for a significant share of the protective relay market. 2.1 Scope of the Report This report covers the market for MVHV protective relays only. Low voltage relays are not covered. The voltage levels considered in the report are: Medium voltage market: from XXkV to XXkV High voltage market: above XXkV Market shares for overall MVHV protective relay markets are covered at country level. The pricing trends discussed in the report are for average individual protective relay products sold, and this could differ from the cost of protective relays when sold in contract. Markets in India, China, the UK, the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Germany have been covered in the report. Differentiated revenue figures for the MVHV relay markets have been provided for all countries covered in the report. However, this differentiation has not been provided at the global level. 2.2 GlobalData Report Guidance Chapter three covers the global protective relay market, in which the technology overview and the global MVHV protective relay market revenue forecast between 2006 and 2020 have been covered. Chapter four covers the MVHV protective relay market revenue forecast from 2006 to 2020, including pricing trends and market share for 2011 for some of the key countries. This section also contains the revenue forecast differentiation for the medium voltage and high voltage protective relay markets for each of the countries. The countries covered in this report are the US, Germany, the UK, India, China, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Chapter five covers the competitive landscape of the major players in the global MVHV protective relay market.

4.1.6 The US: Medium and High Voltage Protective Relay Market, Market Share of Major Protective Relay Manufacturers, 2011 Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) currently account for the largest share of the MVHV protective relay market in the US. The company manufactures protective relays and other protection related equipments for both power utilities and the industrial sector. In 2011, SEL accounted for about XX% of the MVHV protective relay market, followed by General Electric (GE) with a share of about XX%, and ABB with a market share of about XX%. Dazzler and Siemens also have considerable shares in the market.

4.3.4 The UK: High Voltage Protective Relay Market, Revenue Forecast ($m), 2006-2020 The high voltage protective relay market recorded a market size of $XXm in 2011. Market revenue has declined from $XXm in 2007 due to the economic recession. In the context of the overall MVHV protective relay market, the high voltage protective relay market was affected particularly negatively during 2008 and 2009 because the number of products being sold was drastically reduced as a result of low investment in power generation and transmission activities. Even in 2010, there was no significant investment in the protective relay market. However, due to the rail network electrification project there has been an increase in contract sales of high voltage protective relays. Market revenues increased from $XXm in 2010 to $XXm in 2011. There are a number of transmission network and generation projects that are expected to appear in the UK, and as a result the high voltage protective relay market is expected to grow at a steady pace between 2011 and 2020. The market is forecasted to increase at a CAGR of XX% from $XXm in 2011 to $XXm in 2020.
