There is increasing adoption of electrical enclosures across industries owing to their distinctive features like dust proofing, fire resistance and corrosion resistance. These enclosures provide protection for electrical components from moisture, dust, oil, and other environmental threats. Rise in investments towards building smart infrastructure and growing focus on renewable energy resources are further augmenting the demand for high quality electrical enclosures. In addition, steady growth in industrial automation and stringent safety regulations are expected to propel the electrical enclosure market in the coming years.

Rising investments in renewable energy sector

The global push towards renewable energy sources is bringing large scale investments in solar and wind power generation capacities. Countries around the world have set ambitious targets to increase the share of renewables in their energy mix to reduce carbon emissions. Significant capital is being poured into developing utility scale solar and wind farms. As these projects require electrical enclosures to house various control equipment, power converters and switchgears, it is directly translating to increased demand.

Most solar and wind power projects are located away from urban centers making infrastructure development challenging. Therefore electrical enclosures used for these projects need to be robust, weatherproof and able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They house sophisticated monitoring and communication devices that relay critical performance data to control rooms. Manufacturers are focusing on developing enclosures that meet the specialized functional and design requirements of renewable power producers. The growing commissioning of renewable capacities, especially in regions with high potential such as Asia Pacific and Europe, is a key driver promoting the electrical enclosures market growth.

Growing industrialization and infrastructure development activities

Rising urbanization and population growth across developing economies are propelling large scale industrial and infrastructure development programs. Many countries are aggressively investing in highways, metros, airports, and power transmission networks to modernize their countries. Massive investments are also occurring in manufacturing facilities, oil & gas projects, data centers and telecom infrastructure. All these development initiatives place high demand for electrical enclosures to safeguard critical electronic components.

Furthermore, there is increasing focus on the maintenance and refurbishment of aging electrical infrastructure in developed markets. New technologies are also being inducted to upgrade existing industrial facilities and make them more energy efficient. This presents upgrade and retrofitting opportunities for electrical enclosure manufacturers. The enclosures need to provide rugged design and meet certain IP protection ratings when installed in demanding industrial environments and outdoor applications subjected to dust, moisture and vibration. The ever growing construction spending on industrialization and infrastructure globally is expected to drive steady requirement for robust and specialized electrical enclosures.
