European electric enclosure market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The growing food and beverage industry is one of the pivotal factors accelerating market growth. As per the FoodDrinkEurope, the EU food and drink industry generated a turnover of nearly $1,431 billion in 2017. In 2017, there were 294 food and drink companies (1000 units) operating in the EU. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) generate nearly 50.0% of the food and drink industry turnover. The food and drink industry represents over 290,000 SMEs in 2017. Enclosures for electrical and switchgear equipment are crucial across the production and engineering sectors across food and beverage manufacturing firms. For sensitive electrical components, the enclosure develops a protective environment and protects operatives from coming into contact with the electrical circuitry. Owing to the design characteristics, these enclosures are commonly referred to as ‘Hygienic Design’ (HD) enclosures. HD products offer a solution to plant operators and mechanical engineers that eliminates the hazards of high-pressure applications.

The market is segmented based on material and vertical. Based on material, the market is classified into metallic and non-metallic. Non-metallic enclosures are considered as a suitable choice over metal enclosures for applications in renewable energy, as it offers superior chemical and corrosion resistance rather than metallics, including galvanized steel, aluminum and painted. The maintenance of enclosure is virtually eliminated with the use of non-metallics. As per the Eurostat, the renewable energy share in energy consumption rose constantly between 2004 and 2018, from 9.6% to 18.9%. The Europe 2030 target for renewable energy is 32%. The growing share of renewable energy in the EU is therefore accelerating the adoption of electrical enclosures in the region. Based on vertical, the market is classified into energy and utilities, industrial, it and telecommunication, process industries, and others.

Some prominent players in the market include ABB Ltd., Schneider Electric SE, Legrand SA, Rittal GmbH & Co. KG, and nVent Electric plc. Mergers and acquisitions and partnerships and collaborations are considered as some vital strategies adopted by the market players to expand their share in the marketplace. For instance, in May 2019, Rittal launched the AX and KX enclosures that are fixed with digital processes. This new range delivers easier, increased safety, greater flexibility, and component installation, and faster assembly. These are redesigned with the principles of Industry 4.0.
