Insulation Testers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Low Voltage Insulation testers, High Voltage Insulation testers) By Application (Process, Discrete) , By Operation (Fixed, Portable, Handheld) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The insulation resistance of electrical equipment is measured using an insulation tester. It's used to figure out how much insulation a transformer, motor, or cable has. It is utilized in the installation of new electrical apparatus and commercial and industrial operations. Insulation testers are used to keep circuitry separate from the earth and other circuits.

Due to its multipurpose applications, the market is being driven by increased demand for industrial insulation tests. The increased use of modern electrical equipment and machinery in industrial processes has increased the global use of insulation tests. The growing concern about industrial safety equipment for mandatory periodic safety tests in companies is fueling the growth of the insulation testers market. Furthermore, improved technologies in various industrial manufacturing sectors fuel the worldwide insulation tester market's rise. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Has imposed many regulations and standards related to electrical insulations.

• The IEC 60071-1 standard states the definition, principles, and rules of insulation coordination.


• The IEC 60076-3 standard states insulation levels for power transformers.


• The IEC 60664 standard states insulation coordination of all parts for equipment in low-voltage systems.


• IEC 61557-8 standard states insulation monitoring devices for IT systems.


• IEC 61557-9 standard states equipment for insulation fault location in IT systems.

Factors such as the ease of availability of alternatives to insulation testers are projected to stifle market expansion. Furthermore, small and medium-sized businesses are less concerned about the use of modern insulation testers. This is expected to stifle growth over the projection period. Moreover, a shortage of experienced labor and high maintenance costs are possible limitations to the worldwide insulation tester market's overall development.

North America and Europe are expected to hold significant market shares globally, owing to a spike in the use of modern industrial insulation tests, as well as an increase in the installations of heavy electrical machinery or equipment in the areas' various industrial sectors. Due to the increased electronic manufacturing and industrial building and Europe's well-established automotive industry, North America and Europe are advantageous for expanding the insulation tester market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE INSULATION TESTERS MARKET

The insulation testers market is expected to take a small amount of time before recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the ever-growing electrical and electronics industry.

• According to a study conducted by IPC, or the Association Connecting Electronics Industries, the European electronics industry withstood the COVID-19 pandemic and is anticipated to drive future economic growth in the European market. The industry has an impact of €3.8 Trillion on the European GDP.

Although the electrical & electronics industry is slowly gaining momentum due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and industry operations. According to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, the major problems faced by the industry were supply delays, counterfeit trickling, and shipping halts.

SEGMENTATION

KEY INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

• HIOKI announced the release of new insulation testers models IR4056-20 and IR4057-20 on January 7, 2021. In addition to better reaction performance, the new testers offer enhanced comparator capabilities and judgment result notification through light and sound, allowing operators to examine results at a glance. The instruments result in significant increases in work efficiency.


• In 2020, KEW introduced three diagnostic 1000V insulation resistance testers with response times of 0.5 seconds, six test voltages, and six insulation resistance ranges, as well as Dielectric Absorption Ration (DAR) and Polarity Index (PI), which allow testing and verification of the quality or degradation of the electrical insulation being tested.
