There is unprecedented investment in electrical infrastructure, with over US$36.9 billion in public, private, and non-federal investments committed to advancing a more resilient grid system. The Grid Deployment Office has selected more than 1,121 projects for US$14.5 billion in federal competitive funding, with expected impacts that will improve grid resilience for 90 million homes and businesses across the country.
This massive infrastructure modernization initiative requires extensive deployment of advanced wiring devices, including circuit protection equipment, smart switches, and intelligent connection systems. The aging electrical infrastructure, combined with increasing electricity demand from data centers and the adoption of electric vehicles, necessitates comprehensive upgrades that directly benefit wiring device manufacturers.
The growing emphasis on energy efficiency in North America is driving demand for advanced wiring devices. U.S. regulations, including the 2024 IECC, ASHRAE 90.1-2022, and California’s 2025 Title 24, mandate occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and automated lighting, boosting adoption of smart devices such as Hubbell’s H-MOSS sensors.
DOE estimates that compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2022 can reduce commercial building site energy by ~9.8%, source energy by 9.4%, and energy costs by 8.9%. EIA projects U.S. power demand rising from 4,097 billion kWh in 2024 to 4,305 billion kWh by 2026. These trends, supported by DOE programs, are accelerating investments in energy-efficient wiring systems with monitoring, demand management, and automation capabilities.
The high upfront cost of smart wiring devices, particularly for retrofit installations, remains a significant barrier to adoption. Complex installations often require professional expertise and additional infrastructure, such as network hubs, with compatibility issues sometimes necessitating further system upgrades.
Smart switches, outlets, and dimmers, which offer energy efficiency, automation, and remote control, come at a premium, making full home outfitting in the U.S. cost around $2-$7 per square foot. These expenses, combined with platform-specific requirements, deter cost-sensitive consumers and small businesses from upgrading traditional wiring to connected solutions.
Industries and households are increasingly adopting wireless solutions, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee, thereby reducing their reliance on traditional wired infrastructure, particularly in consumer electronics, automotive, and building automation. IoT-enabled products are driving this shift, with wireless sensors replacing complex wiring in automation, energy management, and security systems.
North America leads the wireless connectivity market, which is projected to remain the largest region by 2027, fueled by the growing adoption of mobile and wearable technologies. This trend pressures the wiring devices market to innovate or face potential obsolescence.
The rising demand for high-speed connectivity, driven by AI, ML, and cloud computing, is creating significant opportunities for wiring devices in North America.
