Low-Voltage DC Circuit Breaker Market

The global low-voltage DC circuit breaker market is expected to reach USD 1.80 billion in 2025 and USD 2.52 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period.

One of the major factors propelling the LV DC circuit market is the growing use of data centers and industrial automation systems. Nowadays, data centers use LV DC circuits for enhanced energy efficiency, lower power conversion losses, and high-density computing needs related to artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other smart technologies. Apart from this, industrial automation systems like Programmable Logic Controllers, sensors, robotics, and industrial controls are predominantly DC-driven, using lower-voltage DC power. The emerging use of smart factories, Industry 4.0, and digitalized production lines will fuel the use of LV DC circuits for uninterrupted power distribution. Companies like ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION are committed to innovative technologies to tap into the emerging market fully, thus playing a crucial role in modernization within the industry as a whole.

The market features major players, such as ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION. These players have incorporated organic and inorganic growth strategies, including collaborations, acquisitions, product launches, and partnerships, to strengthen their international footprint and capture a greater share of the LV DC circuit market. For instance, in July 2025, ABB unveiled its next-generation flagship air circuit breaker, the SACE Emax 3, designed to boost resilience and energy security across mission-critical infrastructure, such as AI-powered data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and airports.

ABB is a key market player in the low-voltage DC circuit breaker market. The company’s primary strategy is centered on strengthening its Electrification and Automation businesses, following the divestment of its Power Grids division, allowing a sharper focus on energy-efficient, safe, and sustainable electrical solutions. ABB emphasizes innovation-led growth through continuous investment in R&D to support emerging applications such as solar PV, battery energy storage systems, EV charging infrastructure, LVDC microgrids, and data center DC architectures. ABB’s core competencies lie in its deep engineering expertise, broad low-voltage product portfolio, and strong capabilities in DC power protection technologies. Its offerings include DC-rated MCCBs, MCBs, disconnectors, load break switches, and solar-specific DC protection devices, designed to meet stringent global safety and performance standards. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, technological leadership in DC fault protection, and application-specific customization. In terms of major activities, ABB has historically expanded through strategic acquisitions and portfolio optimization, while maintaining partnerships with utilities, industrial players, and infrastructure developers.

Schneider Electric represents a key player in the low-voltage DC circuit breaker market, driven by a strategy centered on electrification, decarbonization, and digitalization of energy systems. The company strategically aligns its LV DC protection offerings with high-growth applications such as renewable energy, EV charging infrastructure, battery energy storage systems, data centers, and smart buildings, enabling it to capitalize on the global transition toward DC power architectures. Its emphasis on compliance with international standards (IEC and UL) and integration of digital monitoring and energy management platforms strengthens its competitive positioning. The company’s core competencies lie in its deep expertise in low-voltage power distribution, automation, and digital energy management. Schneider Electric’s Acti9 and Compact product platforms demonstrate strong engineering capabilities in modular DC protection, reliability, and system integration. These strengths are reinforced by continuous R&D investments focused on intelligent, connected, and software-enabled protection solutions.

Market Ranking

The market is consolidated, with a small group of global manufacturers accounting for a substantial portion of overall market revenues. This includes companies like Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, and a few others. The market has been dominated by these companies owing to their vast expertise in power protection solutions. Companies are also trying to cater to a vast customer base in industries like industrial, commercial, and infrastructure. The major force that leads to a consolidated market is the high barrier to entry. The manufacturing of LV DC circuit breakers involves high engineering complexity and meets stringent international requirements of safety and reliability in terms of interrupting DC faults. Moreover, they enjoy a strong reputation and after-sales service coverage worldwide. Fixed long-term contracts with major customers also add to their advantages. The emphasis on research and development activities further improves their competitive position, allowing them to launch technologically superior and custom-made solutions that keep the markets less fragmented.
