North America Molded Case Circuit Breaker Market worth $2.19 billion by 2030 | MarketsandMarkets™
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The global North America Molded Case Circuit Breaker Market is anticipated to grow from estimated USD 1.59 billion in 2025 to USD 2.19 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Continuously evolving factors such as increasing grid modernization investments, expanding renewable energy infrastructure, and electrifying industrial and commercial sectors contribute to steady increases in North American demand for molded case circuit breakers. The increasing trend toward smart buildings, data centers, and more automation in manufacturing sectors has led to a growing demand for reliable and efficient circuit protection. The growth of electrical safety regulations and the demand for energy-efficient and IoT-enabled MCCBs are causing traditional non-connected systems to increase in standards and, therefore, pull the market upward. Increased demand for new residential, commercial, and light industrial infrastructure is also an important factor, augmented greatly by government initiatives to promote clean energy and resilient electrical systems across North America. North America is particularly well-positioned for advanced MCCB deployment due to an emphasis on technological innovation and smart grids.

By rating current, the 76-250 A segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
The 76–250 A range is the largest market segment in the molded case circuit breaker market by rated current due to its widespread applicability across the broadest number of end-use industries. Voltage ranges from 76–250 A are suitable for the majority of infrastructure applications, especially in residential and commercial buildings, but also in transmission & distribution (T&D) networks, built and process industries, and many automotive applications. MCCBs rated at 76–250 A can be reasonably relied on to protect electrical circuits in each of these applications where electrical loads commonly fall within this range. With the world rapidly building infrastructure, especially in less-developed countries, the use of MCCBs in new and existing infrastructure, and therefore increased demand for MCCBs rated from 76–250 A, will continue due to the need for safe, efficient, and robust protection for circuits in infrastructure and infrastructure-related applications. As new applications are deployed, the need for reliable protection in existing ones, and across the many industries that fall into this space, makes the 76–250 A segment continue to be the highest-rated current category in terms of total market volume by a significant degree.
By end user, transmission & distribution segment is expected to account for the maximum market share during the forecast period.
Of all the end user categories, transmission & distribution is the fastest-growing market segment for MCCBs due to the increasing demand for electricity in the region and the need for greater reliability and efficiency in circuit protection. T&D grid modernization in addition to the necessitated expansions of T&D grid infrastructure because of renewable energy, and the implementation of smart grids, has highlighted the need for increased reliability of circuit protection with advanced MCCBs designed to inhibit overloads and prevent short circuits; the best way to keep electrical distribution networks reliable and stable is to use MCCBs to provide informative overload and fault indications that will notify the linesmen of problems safely. Utilities and end-user segments continue to rely on MCCBs to protect their electrical infrastructure, with countries investing higher amounts into grid upgrades and new options for renewable integrations, which expect market declines in failures and repairs, followed by increased deployments of MCCBs. Hence, T&D is the fastest-growing end user section of the market for MCCBs.
By country, the US is anticipated to lead the market during the forecast period.
The market is projected to be led by the US because of its economic prowess, established industrial and manufacturing sectors, and continuous infrastructural development. The US, an established advanced industrial economy, had a USD 21.0 trillion economy, of which manufacturing contributed approximately 10.3% in 2023. The US manufacturing industry is expanding steadily due, in part, to US government policies along with multiple support programs such as the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), which provides resources and grants to manufacturers to assimilate technological advances and improve supply chains. Increasing electricity generation and consumption, driven by traditional (coal and natural gas) and renewable sources, have also added demand for MCCB to address electrical safety considerations in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Additionally, with renewable electricity growing rapidly, coupled with the US government's commitment to greenhouse gas reduction targets, increasing renewable electricity supply (and demand), it is reasonable to expect continuing market growth opportunities. Also, integrating smart technology and interconnected systems supporting Internet of Things (IoT) in MCCB will position it for continued leadership since the US is the lead in US commercial infrastructure investing and technology development.
Key Players
Some prominent players in the North America Molded Case Circuit Breaker Market are ABB Ltd. (Switzerland), Schneider Electric (France), Mitsubishi Electric (Japan), Eaton (Ireland), and Siemens (Germany). These players aggressively invest in product innovation, regional production expansion, and strategic acquisitions to meet the region's increasing demand for sophisticated circuit protection systems. As North America's electrical infrastructure undergoes digitalization, decarbonization, and decentralization efforts, these companies target intelligent molded case circuit breakers with IoT-based monitoring, arc flash protection, and remote diagnostic capabilities. The focus is on providing compact, cybersecure, and easy-to-maintain MCCBs capable of facilitating renewable energy integration, critical infrastructure, and high-density urban developments. Partnerships with utilities, electric contractors, and grid operators form the core of their plans, particularly in aligning the design of products with changing safety codes such as UL, IEEE, and NEC standards. In addition, further investment in domestic manufacturing and R&D facilities in the US and Canada makes it possible to achieve quicker delivery cycles, customized product configurations, and compliance with federal infrastructure programs, cementing these companies' leadership roles in industrial, commercial, and utility markets.
