Based on current, the AC voltage segment is anticipated to cross USD 3.4 billion by 2032, on account of their efficiency in transmitting and distributing electricity over long distances. This widespread adoption is driven by the need for reliable and consistent power supply in urban and industrial areas, where commercial buildings, factories, and other infrastructure demand robust electrical systems. Most existing power distribution networks in the Asia Pacific region are based on AC voltage, making it easier to integrate medium voltage AC switchgear into current systems. This compatibility reduces the need for extensive infrastructure upgrades, leading to cost savings and encouraging further investment in AC voltage switchgear solutions.
Based on insulation, the air segment is projected to witness more than 7.3% CAGR through, 2032 since Air-insulated switchgear is generally more cost-effective compared to other types, such as gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This affordability makes AIS an attractive option for a wide range of commercial applications, especially in emerging economies within the Asia Pacific region, where budget constraints often play a significant role in infrastructure decisions.
China medium voltage commercial switchgear market is likely to exceed USD 1.6 billion by 2032, since China is experiencing continuous urbanization, with significant investments in infrastructure development, including the construction of commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and urban infrastructure. This rapid urban expansion drives the demand for medium voltage switchgear to ensure a reliable and efficient power supply across these growing urban areas.
Similarly, commitment of India, Japan and South Korea to expanding its renewable energy capacity, particularly in wind and solar power, necessitates the deployment of advanced medium voltage switchgear for grid integration. As the country continues to lead in renewable energy adoption, the demand for switchgear that can manage the complexities of renewable energy sources is increasing, contributing to market growth.
