Current Clamps Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (DC Current Clamps, AC Current Clamps, AC/DC Current Clamps, Others), By Application (Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Telecom & Networking, Healthcare, Industrial, Energy, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A current clamp is an electrical device with jaws that can open to clamp electrical conductors. Current clamps allow users to measure current without interrupting the circuit. This allows the current in the conductor to be measured without having to make physical contact with it or disconnect it to insert the probe.

Due to the expansion of portable electronic devices, automobiles, and uninterruptible power supply markets, usage of battery-powered systems is increasing. Increased focus on renewable energy, investment in resources, and the rapid spread of electric vehicles drive the market's growth. Battery-powered systems can be applied to solar and wind energy systems. Therefore, it is expected that during the forecast period, the increase in the number of global renewable energy projects will promote the growth of the current clamps market.

• According to the National Health Authority of India, India boasts 1.18 billion mobile users, out of which 700 million users access the internet, and almost 600 million users use smartphones. In 2021, it was observed that there was a rise of around 25 million smartphone users in every quarter.

Modern current clamps are increasingly used in autonomous vehicles, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and healthcare equipment that have increased their shipments. Still, sales growth has been significantly hindered by price erosion. This is partly due to fierce competition between more and more clamp manufacturers. Although the decrease in average selling price (ASP) is beneficial to consumers, it has caused the profit margins of suppliers to shrink. As a result, the enormous pressure on prices has led to a drop in the ASP, making it difficult for revenue growth in today's highly competitive market.

North America is one of the major marketplaces. The consumer conscience and government efforts to reduce the carbon footprint have enhanced renewable energy investments, further propelling the development of the market.

• In January 2022, the White House of the U.S. announced that an offshore wind lease sale for New York Bight was being held by the Department of the Interior, which is anticipated to generate up to 7 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy.


• In 2020, the United States recorded 4.6 billion metric tons (bmt) of CO2 emitted in 2020, an 11% reduction from 2019.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CURRENT CLAMPS MARKET

The current clamps market is expected to take a significant amount of time before recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic due to lower investments in the energy transmission and distribution sector globally. However, the growth of renewable energy projects in the period, leading to electric grid infrastructure development, is anticipated to enhance demand.

• In 2020, the BP Statistical Survey of World Energy announced the massive decline of primary energy consumption by 4.5%.

As the industrial landscape is slowly growing due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, and enhancing power distribution and transmission investments, current clamps demand is anticipated to rise fairly.
