As highlighted by EE Power in their article “Demand for Low Voltage Busbar Trunking Systems to Witness Accelerated Demand from End-Use Industries,” the global market for busbar trunking systems is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% between 2018 and 2026, reaching approximately $5 billion. This growth is driven by the increasing need for zero-maintenance, flexible power distribution solutions, particularly in the industrial automation sector.

The Benefits of Low Voltage Busbar Trunking Systems

Busbar trunking systems offer several advantages over traditional wiring harnesses, including improved energy efficiency, enhanced safety, and reduced maintenance costs. By streamlining power distribution and minimizing energy loss, they support automated manufacturing lines with greater precision and reliability. Key benefits include:

  • Improved Safety: The risk of short circuits is significantly reduced due to the design of busbar systems.
  • Flexibility and Scalability: These systems can be easily modified to accommodate changes in production layouts.
  • Zero Maintenance: With no moving parts and high reliability, busbar trunking systems eliminate costly repairs associated with miswiring or cable harness failures.

Adoption Drivers in Industrial Automation

The adoption of busbar trunking systems is further driven by the push for global manufacturing standards such as Six Sigma, which prioritize operational excellence and productivity. By using isolators and circuit breakers, faulty sections can be quickly disconnected without impacting the entire system, enhancing operational uptime.

Additionally, these systems have high capacitance, which reduces impedance and improves noise suppression, making them ideal for environments that require stable and interference-free power distribution.

Prominent vendors in the busbar trunking systems market include ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens AG, Eaton, and Legrand. These companies continue to innovate with designs that cater to diverse industrial needs, from high-capacity data centers to precision manufacturing lines.

Conclusion

Low voltage busbar trunking systems play a critical role in modern industrial operations by providing efficient, scalable, and safe power distribution. As industries increasingly adopt automated processes, the demand for flexible, low-maintenance power systems is set to grow further.
