Europe Recloser Market by Phases (Single Phase, Three Phase, Triple Single Phase), By Control (Hydraulic and electric), By Countries - Regional Trend & Forecast to 2019

The Europe recloser market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2014 to 2019. The recloser segment in Russia holds the largest share of the Europe recloser market, as of 2014; however, the segment in Poland is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period of 2014 to 2019. The growth of the Europe reclosers market is driven by factors such as reliability, power restoration without manual interventions, customer outage cost reduction, automation/data collection, and growing power distribution networks. However, factors such as high procurement cost, availability of cheaper substitutes to recloser, and lack of investments by government in increasing grid stability are projected to restrain the growth of this market. 

In this report, the Europe recloser market has been broadly classified on the basis of control, phase, and country. The main countries considered in the analysis of the European market are Russia, Poland, Turkey, and the U.K. The major phases of reclosers include single phase and three phase. The control segment has been classified into electric control and hydraulic control. 

Europe (comprising the Russia, Poland, Turkey, and the U.K) commanded a share of 14.3% of the global recloser market in 2014. The Europe recloser market in Russia is primarily driven by factors including recloser efficiency, automated operation, and data collection. However, the power distribution network in Russia is matured enough and shows a very slow expansion rate. This is expected to result in slow and steady growth of recloser in Russia.

The Europe market is a competitive market with a number of market players with niche technologies. Currently, the Europe recloser market is estimated to be dominated by top players such as Tavrida Electric, Cooper Industries, and Nu-lec. New product launches, partnerships, agreements, collaborations, and joint ventures are the major strategies adopted by most market players to achieve growth in the Europe recloser market.

The Reclosers are used for temporary interruptions in case of circuit breakdown. This type of switch works manually as well as automatically and also reduces loss of power. For electrical protection the reclosers are used in distribution networks along with the feeder lines. A recloser has the ability to detect phase and phase-to-ground overcurrent conditions, to interrupt the circuit if the overcurrent continues after a predetermined time, and then to automatically reclose the line. The reclosers remain automatically or manually open even if the fault exists for long time operations. In most of the cases of an overhead distribution system, 70 to 90 per cent of the faults are of temporary nature and they last, at the most, for a few cycles or seconds. Thus the recloser with its opening/closing characteristics prevents a distribution circuit from being left out of service for temporary faults.

Typically, reclosers are designed to have up to three open-close operations and a final open operation to lock out the sequence. Following the actions of the recloser one closing operation by manual means is usually allowed. The counting mechanisms register operations of the phase or ground-fault units, which can also be initiated by externally controlled devices. Single-phase reclosers are used when the load is predominantly single-phase. In such cases, when a single-phase fault occurs, the recloser should permanently disconnect the faulted phase so that supplies are maintained on the other phases. Three-phase reclosers are used when it is necessary to disconnect all three phases in order to prevent unbalanced loading on the system.

The reclosers markets are segmented into phases (single phase reclosers, and three phase reclosers), controls (Electric, and Hydraulic), and geographically. The three phase reclosers market accounted for the largest share of the Europe market in 2014. However, the single phase reclosers market is expected to grow at the slower CAGR in the next five years.

The controls segment is classified into electric and hydraulic reclosers. Reclosers with hydraulic operating mechanisms have a disconnecting coil in series with the line. When the current exceeds the setting value, the coil attracts a piston, which thereby opens the main recloser contact and interrupts the circuit. The electric type of control mechanism is normally located outside the recloser and receives current signals. When the current exceeds the predetermined setting, a delayed shot is initiated, which finally results in a tripping signal being transmitted to the recloser control mechanism.

On the basis of geography, this market is classified into four major countries, namely, Russia, Poland, Turkey, U.K, and Rest of Europe. In 2014, the Europe reclosers market was estimated to be dominated by Russia with a 29% share. There are a number of advance factors, such as - technological advancements of automation, minimum restoring time, improved performance, growth of power distribution networks, electronically collection of data, and reliability market in the European countries. However the capital costs of automated reclosers are expected to be a possible barrier to the growth of the Europe recloser market in the coming years.

The Europe recloser market was valued at $108.8 million in 2013 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2014 to 2019 to reach $130.8 million by 2019. The Russia market accounts for a major market share of 29.0%, whereas the Poland market is expected to be the fastest-growing country, projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2014 to 2019. The three phase reclosers segment is expected to continue its dominance over the other segments by gaining around 98.1% of the Europe market in the coming years. In the controls segment of the recloser market, the electric control segment will dominate the market, as hydraulic reclosers are gradually being replaced by the former worldwide. The most important player in the Europe recloser market is Tavrida Electric (Russia) with 24% market share in 2013. The company is faced with tough competition from some major players such as Cooper Industries (Ireland) and Nulec (France).
