Busbar Global Market Report 2025

A busbar, a metallic strip or bar within a power distribution system, serves as a conductor for transmitting electrical energy. Typically crafted from copper or aluminum, it's designed to handle substantial electrical loads.

The primary materials employed in busbar manufacturing are aluminum, copper, and brass. Aluminum, a thin, silvery-white metal known for its ductility, lightness, and resistance to corrosion, is widely utilized in busbar construction. Its favorable electrical and mechanical attributes, including lower resistivity and lightweight nature, make it a preferred choice. Power ratings vary from low to medium and high, finding applications across utility, industrial, residential, and commercial sectors.

The busbar market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$17.71 billion in 2024 to $18.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and infrastructure development, rising energy consumption, increasing renewable energy integration, demand from key end-use industries, government regulations

The busbar market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to transition to smart grids, continued industrial growth, focus on energy efficiency, rising data center construction, integration of energy storage. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for energy efficiency, increased adoption of renewable energy, advanced materials and technologies, compact and modular designs, electrification of transportation.

The increasing concern over reducing energy losses in electric transmission is anticipated to drive growth in the busbar market. Energy loss in electric transmission encompasses waste during electricity production, transmission, and distribution, with resistance in electrical conductors being a significant contributor to these losses. Busbars, with their low resistance, can transport large amounts of electricity while minimizing energy waste. This efficiency makes busbars a viable alternative to conventional wiring, ultimately reducing costs associated with energy losses. For instance, in July 2022, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that approximately 4,178 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in 2023 would primarily come from fossil fuels (60%), with nuclear energy contributing 19% and renewables making up 21%. This reliance on fossil fuels highlights the urgent need for enhanced integration of renewable energy solutions, further emphasizing the role of busbars in achieving energy efficiency. Thus, the growing focus on minimizing energy losses in electric transmission is expected to propel the busbar market in the future.

The rising popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to boost the busbar market in the coming years. EVs are vehicles that operate either partially or fully on electricity stored in rechargeable batteries. In these vehicles, busbars serve as crucial conductive pathways that efficiently distribute electrical power from the battery to various components, including the electric motor, charging system, and auxiliary systems. By providing a streamlined and high-capacity electrical connection, busbars enhance power transmission within the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring dependable performance. For example, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency, an autonomous organization based in France, reported that over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, marking a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. Sales are projected to reach 14 million by the end of 2023, signifying a 35% increase year-over-year, with growth expected to accelerate in the latter half of the year. Consequently, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is contributing to the expansion of the busbar market.

Key players in the busbar market are innovating by developing advanced products such as modular busbar systems. These systems comprise standardized modules that allow easy assembly into flexible power distribution networks. For instance, in September 2022, Vertiv introduced the Vertiv Powerbar iMPB, designed for data centers and dynamic environments. This modular system, with capacities from 160 amps to 1,000 amps, facilitates seamless power upgrades without requiring additional floor space. It caters to modern data centers' evolving power needs with a compact and adaptable solution.

Leading companies in the busbar market focus on creating cutting-edge products, such as busbar couplers, to maintain a competitive edge. Busbar couplers are components connecting two electrical conductors or busbars. For example, in February 2022, Interplex Industries Inc. launched the BusMate Power Busbar Coupler, streamlining assembly for high-density power applications. This compact, pluggable interface allows efficient integration into power devices, offering versatility for various designs and configurations. With features such as Floating Contact Technology and temperature resistance up to 150°C, this product meets evolving requirements in power-dense applications across industries such as Electric Vehicles, e-Mobility, and Energy sectors.

In December 2022, Aptiv PLC, an automotive company based in Ireland, successfully acquired an 85% stake in Intercable Automotive Solutions for $616 million (€595 million). This strategic move significantly bolstered Aptiv's expertise in high voltage power distribution and interconnect technology, elevating its standing as a global frontrunner in vehicle architecture systems. Intercable Automotive Solutions is an Italy-based interconnect solutions company that designs and manufactures solutions for vehicle electrification.
