Data center transfer switches and switchgear are the components that ensure the reliability and efficiency of data centers. They are crucial for protecting devices including critical servers and equipment from outages. It is the critical infrastructure component within a data center that facilitates the efficient and reliable distribution of electrical power to various equipment and systems. To govern and regulate the flow of electricity, it usually comprises transformers, electrical switchboards, circuit breakers, and other safety equipment. According to a Climate Central report, the number of power outages brought on by extreme weather events has increased dramatically, rising by 67%. These incidents demonstrate the necessity of dependable backup power systems to ensure that mission-critical buildings like data centers, workplaces, and residences continue to function even in the face of disruptions. The surging demand for controlling the electricity supply in data centers is driving the market. The industry is expanding as a result of an increase in the building of new data centers brought on by businesses all over the world's growing need for data storage. On the contrary, the stringent regulatory factors and the upfront cost of advanced switchgear technologies are challenging the market growth.

The static transfer switches segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2023.

Based on the transfer switch, the data center transfer switches and switchgear market is classified into static transfer switches, automatic transfer switches, bypass isolation transfer switches, and service entrance transfer switches. Among these, the static transfer switches segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2023. This transfer switch is capable of providing 20 times faster load transfer than traditional automatic transfer switches and manual transfer switches. The rising concerns about blackouts, increasing uptake of data centers, and changing the power distribution network are driving the market.

The low voltage power control system segment dominated the market with the largest share of the data center transfer switches and switchgear market in 2023.

Based on the switchgear, the data center transfer switches and switchgear market is classified into low voltage power control systems and medium voltage power control systems. Among these, the low voltage power control system segment dominated the market with the largest share of the data center transfer switches and switchgear market in 2023. Low voltage switchgear is defined as switchgear rated up to 1kV. To safeguard low voltage switchgear, it contains switches, circuit breakers, pff load electrical isolators, HRC fuses, earth leakage circuit breakers, tiny circuit breakers (MCB), and molded case circuit breakers (MCCB).

North America is projected to hold the largest share of the global data center transfer switches and switchgear market over the forecast period.

North America is projected to hold the largest share of the global data center transfer switches and switchgear market over the forecast period. To reduce their power usage, data center operators in the region are investing more in energy-efficient techniques and renewable energy sources. Data centers would require greater storage and processing power as the use of smart devices for business, commerce, and personal use continues to increase.

Asia Pacific is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR in the data center transfer switches and switchgears market over the forecast period.
