Rising Focus on Energy-Efficient Power Distribution Systems in Industrial and Commercial Sectors

In the U.S., the growing emphasis on energy-efficient power distribution systems across industrial and commercial sectors is significantly driving the expansion of the busway market, as organizations face mounting pressure to comply with stringent environmental regulations while reducing operational costs. Industries with high power consumption, such as manufacturing facilities, data centers, and commercial buildings—are increasingly adopting busway systems due to their ability to deliver efficient energy transfer with lower electrical losses compared to traditional cable systems. The strong focus on sustainability and green building initiatives further accelerates adoption, as busways optimize space utilization, enhance operational performance, and reduce environmental impact while offering flexible, scalable designs that integrate seamlessly into modern infrastructure. This trend is reinforced by ongoing innovations, such as Vertiv’s 2021 launch of the Liebert RXA remote power panel and Liebert MBX busway system for high-density data center applications, Schneider Electric’s April 2024 introduction of the I-Line Track medium power distribution busway designed for scalable and energy-efficient data centers, and Elsewedy Electric’s 2022 launch of advanced busway dielectric epoxy insulation systems that support safe, compact, and sustainable power distribution for large-scale facilities. Collectively, these developments highlight how the rising focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and operational optimization is positioning busway systems as a critical component of energy management strategies in the U.S., driving sustained demand, innovation, and market growth.

Key Findings of the Study

Rapid Urbanization and Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects

Rapid urbanization and large-scale infrastructure development in the U.S. are significantly increasing the demand for reliable, scalable, and efficient power distribution solutions, positioning busway systems as a critical enabler of modern urban growth. As cities expand and new residential, commercial, and industrial projects emerge, the need for power systems capable of handling high loads while optimizing space and ensuring reliability has intensified, making busways an ideal choice. Their flexibility, scalability, and ability to support expanding energy demands with minimal disruption align well with fast-paced construction and infrastructure upgrades. This trend is reinforced by major industry investments, such as Vertiv’s plan announced in January 2024 to double global manufacturing capacity for switchgear and busway solutions by 2025 to meet rising data center and critical infrastructure demand, Eaton’s August 2023 investment of over USD 500 million to expand North American production of electrical solutions including busway systems to support urban electrification and grid modernization, and LS Cable & System’s May 2024 announcement to build a new bus duct factory in Mexico to serve U.S. and Canadian markets amid growing demand from data centers, EVs, and semiconductor facilities. Collectively, these developments highlight how rapid urbanization and large-scale infrastructure projects are accelerating the adoption of busway systems in the U.S., as they offer a future-ready, cost-effective, and efficient solution to power modern cities and support continued industrial and urban evolution.
