Report Description
Lightning Arrester Market Outlook 2031
The global lightning arrester market size was valued at USD 790 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 1,460 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. Increasing investments in transmission & distribution (T&D) networks is likely to boost the market.
A lightning arrester is a device that is designed to protect electrical and electronic systems from damage due to lightning strikes. Lightning strikes generate a high-voltage surge that can damage or destroy electronic equipment and appliances.

Lightning arresters work by providing a low-resistance path for the lightning surge to follow, diverting the surge away from the equipment or appliances that need to be protected. They typically consist of a metal rod or wire that is mounted on top of a building or structure and connected to the ground by a heavy cable.
When lightning strikes, the surge of electricity is directed to the lightning arrester, which channels the surge safely to the ground. Thereby preventing the surge from damaging or destroying electronic equipment and preventing electrical fires and other hazards.
Lightning arresters are commonly used in a variety of settings such as residential & commercial buildings, telecommunications infrastructure, and power plants. They are important components of any electrical or electronic system that is at risk of being damaged by lightning strikes.
Lightning Arrester Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
An increase in the demand for electric appliances and housewares is boosting the need for protective systems, which in turn, is expected to drive the lightning arrester market. A lightning arrester is installed to devices that are sensitive to high voltage.
Arresters are typically installed near an electrical panel or near a generator. The arrester helps to divert the lightning to the ground when dangerous lightning strikes, where it will diffuse without causing any harm.
Companies are investing in expanding their product portfolio and distribution networks, which is boosting the market. Companies have adopted strategies such as developing products, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to cater to the increasing demand for lightning arresters all over the world, which in turn is fueling the market.
Existing Restraints
High initial investments required for installation is expected to restrain the market. This installation is a significant barrier to small businesses. The maintenance cost of lightning arresters is also likely to hinder the market. Growing competition and a high need to adhere to strict regulations and changing standards around the world are expected to hamper the market.
Emerging Opportunities
Increasing demand for lightning arresters is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Coastal communities and businesses are looking for ways to protect their infrastructure from the threat of lightning strikes.
Rapid adoption of lightning arresters and growing emphasis on grid modernization are expected to create opportunities in the market in the coming years.

Lightning Arrester Market Segment Insights
Type Segment Analysis
Based on type, the lightning arrester market is divided into horn gap, rod gap, sphere, electrolyte, metal oxide varistor, and others. The metal oxide varistor (MOV) segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period. A MOV has a piece of metal oxide that is joined to the power and grounding line by a pair of semiconductors. It finds application in circuits.
The horn gap segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years. The horn gap lightning arrester has two horn-shaped rods fitted on ceramic insulators. These rods are adjustable and adjusted according to the voltage.

Application Segment Analysis
On the basis of application, the market is classified as transmission line, distribution line, and substation. The distribution line segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the increasing industrialization and the growth of the smart grid infrastructure.
It is a type of electrical protection device that is used to protect against lightning strikes and other power surges. These arresters are installed on substations and are used to protect equipment against voltage surges from lightning strikes, system faults, and switching surges.
The transmission line is anticipated to account for a major market share in the coming years, due to the rising demand for electric power transmission services in several industries. In emerging countries such as India and China, the growing need for energy infrastructure development is expected to boost the segment in the market.
Rating Segment Analysis
Based on ratings, the lightning arrester market is classified as below 35 KV, 35-110 KV, and above 110 KV. The above 110 KV segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the increasing number of distributional networks to reduce power outages and the rising demand for electricity from residential areas.

End User Segment Analysis
On the basis of end-user, the market is categorized as commercial, residential, power industry, and industrial. The power industry segment is anticipated to account for a major share of the market in the coming years. Increasing need for energy has resulted propelled the number of upgrades of old infrastructure and the growing capacity of electricity system, especially in emerging economies fuel the segment.
Moreover, urbanization and smart cities are boosting energy demand, thus the power industry increasing its use of lightning arresters, thus fueling the segment in the coming years.
Regional Analysis
In terms of region, the global lightning arrester market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the rising demand for electricity in emerging countries such as India and China.
China is the second-largest economy and rapidly increasing the industrial and residential sectors, which is boosting the electricity demand. This, in turn, is likely to fuel the market in the region. For instance, China is expected to invest around 900 billion in power grids by 2025 and this investment helps to develop the country’s power grids.
The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, due to the high product penetration rates and technological advancements about lightning protection systems.
