Switchgear Market Growth Accelerated by Rising Investments in Transmission and Distribution Networks
Switchgear Market |
Switchgear is used in transmission and distribution of power across network grids and industrial applications. They allow or interrupt the flow of current, protect electrical circuits and equipment by detecting faults or abnormal conditions in the network grids. With growing investments in upgrading aging power transmission and distribution infrastructure, the demand for medium and high voltage switchgear is rising across developed and developing regions. The global Switchgear Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 110.35 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The projected growth of the switchgear market is attributed to rising
investments in transmission and distribution (T&D) network expansion
projects globally. According to estimates, over US$ 950 billion is projected to
be invested in grid modernization projects by utilities in key markets such as
the US, China, India and Europe during the forecast period. This is expected to
drive the replacement of aging infrastructure and augment the demand for
switchgear. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy-based power
generation capacity is putting sufficient pressure on existing grid
infrastructure. This is necessitating investments to enhance grid flexibility
and strengthen networks, thus propelling the switchgear market growth.
Segment
Analysis
The global switchgear market is dominated by the high voltage segment. This
segment accounts for more than 60% of the overall market share owing to
increasing investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure upgrade
across developed as well as developing nations. Within high voltage segment,
gas insulated switchgear sub-segment is witnessing highest growth owing to
benefits such as compact size, reliability, safety, and low maintenance.
