The ground fault circuit interrupter market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The ground fault circuit interrupter market has grown significantly in recent years. It is projected to grow from $2.39 billion in 2024 to $2.56 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
Growth is due to rising demand for power tools and outdoor equipment, increased residential construction, government initiatives to promote electrical safety, higher demand in data centers, and aligning GFCI installations with sustainability goals.
The ground fault circuit interrupter market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) market is forecast to grow strongly, reaching $3.35 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 7.0%.
This growth is driven by safety regulations, increasing construction activities, energy-efficient buildings, adoption of GFCIs in healthcare, and international certifications. Trends will include technological innovations, infrastructure growth, integration into appliances, and advancements in material science.
The rising number of electrical accidents is expected to drive the growth of the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) market. Electrical accidents, often caused by aging infrastructure, complex electrical systems, and inadequate maintenance, lead to injuries or fatalities. GFCIs are critical for preventing such accidents by cutting power when a ground fault occurs. For example, in May 2024, the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported a 7.9% increase in residential electrical malfunction fires in the U.S. from 2021 to 2022. As a result, the increase in electrical accidents will boost the demand for ground fault circuit interrupters.

Focusing on the creation of superior products such as IP69 K-rated devices, numerous key players in the ground fault circuit interrupter market are striving to outperform their competitors. A 20A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) with an IP69K rating is a specialized GFCI type that fulfills strict requirements for protection from water and dust entry, specifically in challenging industrial or outdoor circumstances. For example, in January 2023, Molex LLC, a consumer electronics firm based in the United States, introduced the Super-Safeway ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), an innovative portable gadget that is the first to attain an IP69K rating. It provides the maximum defense against the infiltration of high-pressure water and dust. The product is distinguished by its double insulation, exceptional sealing abilities, and sturdy, impact-proof casing, making it suitable for industrial use that demands stringent safety procedures to avoid electrical shocks and equipment destruction.
