Gas-Insulated AC Switchgear Market Size - By Voltage (Low, Medium, High), By Application (Residential, Commercial & Industrial, Utility), & Forecast, 2024 – 2032

Gas-Insulated AC Switchgear Market Size

Gas-Insulated AC Switchgear Market was valued at USD 20.9 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to register over 7.9% CAGR between 2024 and 2032, owing to the increasing need for efficient transmission and distribution (T&D) control systems. The rising demand for the refurbishment of existing electrical infrastructure, coupled with growing investments in grid infrastructure, will positively contribute to the industry's outlook. The lack of reliable electric networks in developing nations, combined with a shift towards developing existing infrastructure in developed countries, creates a favorable business environment.
 

The cost-effectiveness, operational safety, and product compactness are critical parameters that will enhance the overall industry landscape. The increasing adoption of distributed generation and smart grid networks has compelled installers to embrace efficient power supply units. Furthermore, the growing prominence of heavy-duty industrial machinery, particularly in large-scale motor control operations, will drive the demand for circuit protection equipment. The substantial migration to suburban areas, fueled by a growing reliance on manufactured products, has heightened the focus on expanding residential, commercial, and industrial electricity networks. Additionally, the expansion of electric transportation networks, process units, and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in developing economies has spurred the demand for switchgears globally.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The gas-insulated AC switchgear industry witnessed a decline in the installation and deployment of switchgear in the power sector due to the global repercussions of the pandemic. Despite this setback, the industry is rebounding and expanding as the power sector plays a crucial role as the essential backbone of the economy. Ongoing advancements in renewable power generation and the refurbishment of energy equipment further contribute to the positive trajectory of the industry post-COVID-19.
 

Gas-Insulated AC Switchgear Market Trends

The industry's momentum has further been fueled by supportive government initiatives aimed at deploying and expanding power grid infrastructure, especially in conjunction with developing stand-alone micro-grid projects in areas with limited access to electricity. The influx of advanced, flexible, and secure power distribution technologies has infused a sustainable business platform. Although, manufacturers and suppliers have consistently been streamlining their R&D investments to expand and enhance product portfolios, fresh investments from leading participants to incorporate a versatile technological platform has been a considerable breakthrough.

Gas-Insulated AC Switchgear Industry News:

• In April 2021, Siemens introduced the innovative 8DJH 24 switchgears, in conjunction with RMU for up to 24 kV, characterized by its complete absence of fluorinated gases. This medium-voltage (MV) switchgear employs clean air technology, utilizing a climate-neutral insulation medium composed entirely of natural components derived from the surrounding air. This technological breakthrough eliminates the use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) or any gas mixture containing fluorine gases as insulating mediums.
