Market Overview:
The global GCB market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for electricity and the need for reliable and efficient power transmission and distribution systems. In addition, the growing investment in renewable energy sources is also contributing to the growth of this market. The GCB market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), SF6 circuit breaker (SF6CB), and others (including air-blast circuit breakers [ABCBs] and oil-immersed switchgear [OIS]). The VCB segment accounts for a major share of this market owing to its high reliability and efficiency. On the basis of application, it is classified into nuclear plants, thermal power plants, hydraulic power plants, and others (including mining applications).

Product Definition:
A generator circuit breaker (GCB) is a device that opens the circuit to a generator when the current exceeds the rated value. The purpose of a GCB is to protect the equipment and personnel from damage due to excessive current.
Vacuum Circuit Breaker:
Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) are used to interrupt the electric current flow in case of abnormal situation in a generator set. They are installed between the switchgear and the generators, across high-voltage lines, and between transformers and switchgear. VCBs can be easily identified by their black & white coloring; they have two metal plates with transparent windows cut into them.
SF6 Circuit Breaker:
SF6 circuit breaker is a device used to interrupt the current flow in case of an abnormal situation, which may lead to high voltage. It is mainly installed across the generator set and protects it from damage due to overvoltage or short-circuit situations. SF6 circuit breakers are available in different sizes and shapes according to the power requirements of customers. They can be mounted on a panel or stand-alone type depending upon customer requirements.
Application Insights:
The thermal power plants application segment accounted for the largest share in 2016 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The increasing need for energy storage systems owing to growing concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions has led to an increased focus on renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind. This has resulted in a decline in the demand for coal-based electricity generation, which is anticipated to positively impact generator circuit breakers market growth over the forecast period.
Generator circuit breakers are used across multiple applications including nuclear plants, thermal power plants, hydraulic power plants etc., across various regions of the world. In nuclear reactors these devices are used as protection against accidental starting or tripping due to electrical outages or voltage fluctuations at different levels within a plant¢â‚¬â„¢s control room (Reactor Control Room).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has witnessed several accidents at nuclear power plants, especially in China and Japan, which have resulted in increased emphasis on using safety equipment such as GCBs. Furthermore, countries such as India are increasing their dependence on thermal power generation for economic growth owing to cheaper fuel prices offered by these plants compared to other renewable energy sources. This trend is expected to increase demand for GCBs over the forecast period.
The North America market was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a significant rate during the forecast years due to an increase in demand from oil & gas refineries along with other industrial applications across Canada and Mexico that use SF6 circuit breakers due tomilitary bases located near hydroelectric dams that generate high amounts of electrical current through water flow (i.e., hydropower).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for electricity due to population growth and industrialization
- Rapid urbanization and electrification in developing countries
- Stringent government regulations for safety of electrical equipment and personnel
- Technological advancements in GCB design and manufacturing processes
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using GCBs over traditional circuit breakers
