U.S. Non-Metallic Enclosure Market Analysis and Size

Non-metallic enclosures refer to the protective covering or case made from non-metallic materials such as the polycarbonate, fiberglass, PVC and polyester among others for enclosing the critical electronic components. These are non-corrosive, highly durable, very light weight, easy to modify and can withstand harsh environmental weathering such as wind and rain. These enclosures are used to protect the electronic components from external human and environmental interventions.

The non-metallic enclosures provide the electrical networking components with unshielded passage of energy signals unlike metallic enclosures and this is expected to act as a driving factor for the growth of the U.S. non-metallic enclosure market. Reduced visibility to the enclosed enclosure refrains the operator from noticing the damaged components by rusting within the enclosure is expected to act as a restraining factor to the growth of the U.S. non-metallic enclosure market. The increasing application of non-metallic enclosures in the harsh environmental conditions in the renewable energy grids are expected to open up opportunities for the U.S. non-metallic enclosure market players to develop enclosures with resistance to weathering. Degradation of the fiberglass enclosures caused by UV rays in the outdoor applications is expected to act as a challenge for the manufacturers of the U.S. non-metallic enclosure market.

The U.S. non-metallic enclosure market is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with the CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. The non-metallic enclosure market was valued at USD 486.82 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 738.65 million by 2030 . PVC segments is expected to dominate the Non-metallic enclosure market due its non-corrosive properties, high impact resistance and durability. Non-metallic enclosure properties such as durability, high impact resistance, high strength to weight ratio and cost effectiveness over the metallic enclosure are expected to act as driving factors for the growth of the U.S. non-metallic enclosure market

U.S. Non-Metallic Enclosure Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Non-metallic enclosures refer to protective structures that are made from materials other than metal, such as plastic, fiberglass, or composite materials. These enclosures are designed to house and safeguard electrical components, equipment, or sensitive devices in various industrial, commercial, or residential applications. Non-metallic enclosures provide excellent insulation properties, corrosion resistance, and protection against environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation. They are lightweight, durable, and often feature customizable designs, allowing for easy installation, maintenance, and modification. These enclosures are widely used in industries like telecommunications, energy, transportation, and automation, where electrical safety, reliability, and functionality are crucial.

U.S. Non-Metallic Enclosure Market Dynamics

Drivers
