Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2017 -- Surge protection refers to safeguarding electronic devices from power spikes and surges. A power surge is a substantial rise in voltage in comparison with the designated voltage levels. When the power voltage goes above the standard level, it is most likely to damage electronic devices. The increasing use of electronic equipment, reduction in data loss, delays, and maintenance costs, and increased demand from developing economies are the major factors driving the global market for surge protection devices. However, the volatile nature of raw material costs and the additional cost of installation are hampering the growth of the market.

By type, the global market for surge protection devices has been categorized into power control center, hard wired devices, line cord devices, and plug-in devices. In 2014, the line cord devices segment dominated the market, standing at US$650.3 mn in terms of revenue. In the coming years, the hard wired devices segment is anticipated to grow at a fast pace compared to the other segments. The hard wired devices prevent transients, which originate from the electrical circuits, and help avoid damage to the other circuits attached to it.
