Global Medium Voltage Fuse Market Assessment, By Product Type [Current Limiting Fuses, Expulsion Fuses], By Voltage Capacity [1.5 kV-3.5 kV, 3.6kV-24 kV, 24 kV-36 kV, 36 kV-40 kV], By Distribution Channel [Direct, Indirect], By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017-2031F

Medium voltage fuse market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.52% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 1.55 billion in 2023 to USD 2.38 billion in 2031.

This surge in demand for medium voltage fuses is mainly attributed to the integration of advanced smart grid technologies. Modern fuses enhance overall management of the system by way of advanced monitoring and diagnostic features, allowing for expedient response to electrical faults. Currently, fuses are increasingly produced with integral sensors and communication modules that can collect real-time data and ultimately diagnose remotely the fault. This innovation allows utilities to monitor system performance continuously and ensure problems are identified before failure occurs, hence making it more efficient and reliable.

In addition, the variability and sometimes capricious characteristics of these energy inputs due to a shift in the energy landscape with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power necessitated the design of MV fuses. The manufacturers are focusing on developing the design of fuses that would meet the specific needs of renewable installations. This should now offer high-performance handling capability of high current loads and provide credible protection under conditions of high power flows and vibration conditions. Advanced MV fuses role along with full integration of renewable energy sources projects a strong and sustainable energy future. The full integration of renewable energy sources into the grid ensures the development of a long-lasting energy future.

For instance, in September 2023, Littlefuse Inc. launched the latest editions of its 656 and 658 series fuse blocks product line. New higher amperage ratings offer design engineers and designers additional options based on the specific application requirements of their end-users. Products consumers include electronics, data centers, telecom, building/home automation, and appliances.

Urbanization, Infrastructure, and Renewable Energy Integration to Fuel Market Growth

Reliability in electricity infrastructure at the pace of rapid urbanization and the development of smart cities necessitates good working medium-voltage protection systems. There is a rise in cities, and more and more medium voltage fuses will become necessary as such city growth necessitates the expansion of power distribution networks, which will be needed to protect and control the ever-growing infrastructure of such networks. New projects in infrastructure continue to come up with upgrades and expansions of power networks and distribution systems, and thus these require medium voltage fuses, providing stimulus for demand.

With the increasing demand for renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower, medium voltage fuses must be included for the protection of newly formed power systems with the goal of providing reliable power delivery. The transition towards the smart grid involves introducing advanced technologies to monitor and control the power system. That means a new protection technique is necessary. Medium voltage fuses with intelligent features like remote diagnostics and real-time monitoring are necessary to support such a trend. The medium voltage fuse market is influenced by ancillary equipment.

For instance, in April 2024, Schneider Electric SE announced the launch of its new EasySet MV air-insulated indoor switchgear. For sustainable electrical distribution needs, this cutting-edge and environmentally friendly switchgear delivers unmatched simplicity of operation, monitoring, and maintenance.

Enhanced Fuse Technologies and Varied Applications to Fuel Market Growth

Improved ceramics and composites in the cases of fuse design and material innovations provide better performance and reliability. These lead to growth as they offer better protection and efficiency. Technological progress through miniaturization and customization of MV fuses addresses the ever-increasing demands for compact and tailored solutions in versatile applications. Advanced MV fuses are preferred for energy efficiency and sustainability in electrical systems as they have a positive impact on overall system performance and contribute to energy saving. Increased environmental concerns call for eco-friendly and recyclable MV fuse solutions suited for the larger mandates of sustainability.
MV fuses protect the distribution electrical systems in commercial buildings, such as transformers and switchgear, for safe and reliable delivery of power. In high-density residential developments, MV fuses protect the distribution infrastructure that supplies power to several apartments or homes. Companies introduce fuses with advanced safety levels for specific applications.

For instance, in March 2023, the next level of safety for higher amperage utility scale solar applications was introduced by Mersen Group with the release of its new Higher Amperage 1500VDC Helio Protection 20*65mm PV fuses and fuses holders.

Current Limiting Fuses to Dominate Market Share

Based on product type, the current limiting fuses hold the major share of the global medium voltage market. They limit the energy of a fault and produce a fault in a very short time, often in cycles. This rapid response helps to minimize damage to the system and connected equipment, which should boost the market segment. Additionally, current limiting fuses limit the amount of energy that flows during a fault. By reducing energy, the end-users can protect downstream equipment and minimize the impact of the fault on the system. Governments are focusing on expanding the electricity distribution networks, promoting the adoption of MV fuses.

For instance, in June 2023, Egypt invested USD 1.5 million to Enhance Electricity Distribution Network in Beheira and Support National Projects. This move is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to improve services and meet the rising energy needs nationwide.
