Surge Protection Devices Market by Product (Hard-wired, Plug-in, Line Cord, Power Control Devices), by Technology (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3), by Nominal Discharge Current (Below 10kA, 10–25kA, Above 25kA), End-User, and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The surge protection devices market is estimated to grow from USD 2.98 billion in 2025 to USD 3.95 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by the need to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from power surges, ensuring operational continuity and minimizing equipment damage.

“By nominal discharge current, below 10 kA is expected to be the second-largest market during the forecast period.

By nominal discharge current, the below 10 kA segment is expected to be the second-largest market from 2025 to 2030, primarily due to the rapid growth in residential and light commercial applications where lower surge protection ratings are sufficient. These SPDs are cost-effective, easy to install, and well-suited for protecting household electronics, smart appliances, and office equipment from minor voltage spikes caused by internal switching events or nearby disturbances. As the adoption of connected devices and smart home systems accelerates globally, especially in emerging economies, the demand for affordable, plug-in, and point-of-use surge protection is rising, solidifying this segment’s strong position in the overall market.

By product, plug-in is projected to be the second-largest market during the forecast period.

The plug-in segment, by product, is expected to be the second-largest market from 2025 to 2030 due to its widespread use in residential, commercial, and small office environments where ease of installation and flexibility are critical. These devices are typically inserted directly into standard power outlets and offer immediate protection for connected equipment such as computers, TVs, and home appliances. Their affordability, portability, and growing compatibility with modern smart devices make them popular among consumers. Also, rising awareness about the damage caused by everyday power surges and the increasing penetration of electronic devices in households worldwide are key factors driving sustained demand for plug-in surge protection solutions.

“North America is expected to be the second-fastest market during the forecast period.”

North America is expected to be the second-fastest growing region in the surge protection devices market from 2025 to 2030, driven by the widespread deployment of advanced electrical infrastructure, increasing investments in smart grid systems, and the high concentration of data centers and industrial automation. The region’s susceptibility to electrical disturbances caused by frequent lightning strikes, severe weather events, and aging grid infrastructure further underscores the need for reliable surge protection. Also, stringent safety regulations, rising awareness among residential and commercial users, and increased adoption of smart home and office technologies are fueling consistent demand for surge protection solutions across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
