Hollow Core Insulator Market - Presented in a New Research Offering Forecast 2018-2026
The hollow core insulator market is going through a transition stage in different regions of the world. Manufacturers produce either ceramic or composite hollow core insulators according to the preference of end-users, especially the power transmission sector in that specific region. For e.g. ceramic remains by far the preferred material for hollow core insulators in India.
On the other hand, European countries are increasingly adopting composite hollow core insulation technology. However, certain parts of these countries still prefer the ceramic type. Thus, overall, the demand for hollow core insulator technology varies in different regions of the world. The global hollow core insulator market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period and reach US$ 4,959.2 Mn by 2026.
Composite insulators are made with liquid silicone rubber sheds or hydrophobic HTV. Therefore, they offer high performance under contamination with reduced creepage distances, leading to low maintenance even in the most demanding applications. Safety is another major advantage offered by composite hollow core insulators on pressurized substation equipment and personnel.
Every year, several instances of disastrous equipment failures such as explosion, internal arcing, seismic stresses, or short circuit displacement of bus supports leads to material damage and injury to personnel. This is majorly due to the violent explosion of ceramic hollow core insulator with its fragments thrown at a very high speed.
Since composite insulators remain mechanically intact in the event of puncture, they do not cause damage to surrounding equipment and persons in the vicinity, assuring maximum safety at the substation. Thus, important safety considerations for power utilities are expected to lead to increased preference for composite hollow core insulators, driving the overall hollow core insulators market.
