Pressure Switch Market Trends

The growing popularity of HVAC systems is driving the market growth

The rising popularity of HVAC systems drives the Market CAGR for PRESSURE SWITCHES. The growing number of smart residences, the desire to reduce operating expenses, the need for environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems, and the growth in government programs to promote HVAC system upgrades are expected to propel the HVAC market. This is projected to increase the need for pressure switches. Increased expenditures in smart city initiatives, the auto industry, and the development of infrastructure projects drive market growth. Following the German Association of the Car Industry (VDA), car sales increased 5.3% between 2016 and 2017. As a result, increasing consumer appetite for electric cars and increased automobile manufacturing are propelling the automotive and transportation sectors.

Additionally, several industries are swiftly substituting traditional pressure switches with electronic pressure valves in their machines. They provide higher accuracy, consistency, ease of use, shifting phases, and stability over time. As a result, the market for electronic pressure switch technology is predicted to rise during the forecast period due to the substitution of traditional pressure switches in aging infrastructure.

The COVID-19 epidemic has affected corporate profitability in practically every industry. While the power industry was not as badly hit as other industries, industrial and commercial clients' electricity usage is considerably lower. Furthermore, the electricity sector has seen a global decline in demand and price reductions. North America, particularly the United States and Canada, has been severely hit, with the area seeing all-time low electricity costs in the first three months of 2020. Furthermore, due to the seriousness of the COVID-19 epidemic, many companies are focusing solely on critical tasks. This has caused a halt in the installation of electric components. Producers of hardware components in the power sector are dealing with several challenges relating to order closures due to the worldwide shutdown. The power production sector requires durable and efficient switchgear to meet the need for dependable electricity. Furthermore, several businesses are functioning at half capacity to assist critical industries such as electricity generation and production. However, as economies aim to resume operations to improve income creation progressively, consumer interest in switchgear is likely to resume its usual growth rate.

For instance, according to the German automobile industry organization, sales in the automotive market increased by 5.3% between 2016 and 2017. As a result, rising EV demand and increased manufacturing of cars are propelling the Switching Devices market in the transportation and automotive sectors. Thus, demand for Pressure Switches is anticipated to increase throughout the projected timeframe due to the popularity of HVAC systems. Thus, driving the Pressure Switch market revenue.

Pressure Switch Industry Developments

November 2023

Leading manufacturer of high-performance lighting equipment, Streamlight® Inc., has released the ProTac® Rail Mount HL-X Pro gun-mounted light, which has an exceptional beam reach of 447 meters, 1,000 lumens, and 50,000 candelas. The new light comes with an inventive Jack-CapTM tail cap switch that allows users to choose between two different battery types and operates as a push-button or remote pressure switch.

With its robust integrated rail clamp, the lightweight, low-profile ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro is ideal for quickly and safely mounting to rifles, carbines, and submachine guns that meet MIL-STD 1913 (Picatinny) standards. It may also be used to connect to M-LOK or M-LOK-compatible rail systems by using the accompanying M-LOK® mount. Either one Streamlight rechargeable SL-B26® lithium-ion battery pack or two 3-volt CR123 lithium batteries are used to power it.

The 'whole package' is this latest addition to the ProTac family of weapon-mounted lights, said Ray Sharrah, president, and chief executive officer of Streamlight. With its 50,000 candela and extended beam reach, it not only performs as a high-lumen light but also casts more light on a distant object. This makes it an effective tactical weapon for first responders, law enforcement officers, and military personnel to use while conducting room clearing, search operations, and other maneuvers in low light. Its unique tail cap switch, which has a connector for a remote pressure switch and a push-button switch, offers switch redundancy.  

With a one-handed, snap-on and tighten interface, the new light attaches on a wide variety of weapons safely and securely, allowing users to keep their hands away from the gun muzzle. The optional remote switch comes in momentary only and momentary/latching variants. The light's multi-function, push-button tail switch allows momentary and latching continuous operation. Both enable one-handed use of the light's strobe, continuous on, and momentary on modes.

Jan 2022: Eaton stated in January 2022 that it had completed the purchase of Royal Power Options, a US-based manufacturer of high-precision electrical connection gear used in electric cars, energy management, and commercial and adaptability industries.
