World Industrial Insulators Market - Opportunities and Forecast, 2014 - 2020

Industrial insulators are used to create air gap for ensuring an effective insulation between two or more conductors. Insulators form an integral part of transmission & distribution and help in resisting stresses as well such as against heat, cold, and contamination.

Modernization of outdated transmission and distribution (T&D) technology in developed nations along with the adoption of renewable power across the globe are some key drivers boosting the growth of market. Industrial insulators form an integral part of T&D infrastructure and are used in substations to provide electrical insulation and mechanical support for various electrical components. Hence, increase in T&D investments and the installed T&D line length over regions such as Asia-Pacific and North America has also fostered the demand for industrial insulators. Sale of low grade industrial insulators in grey market is a key market challenge that needs to be dealt with by key vendors and market players. The recently proposed transmission methods based on high voltage direct current (HVDC) targeted for long-distance power supply along with the adoption of smart grid technology is a key market opportunity.

The industrial insulators market is segmented on the basis of type, voltage, category, applications, end users and geography. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into ceramic, glass and composite insulators. On the basis of voltage, the market is segmented into high-voltage, medium-voltage and low-voltage.
