Switchgears Industry Report by Regional Category Spend, Price Analysis, Key Demand, and Price Indicators, and Best Buying Practices


The global Switchgears market reached a value of about USD 99.17 billion in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a value of about USD 140.98 billion by 2027.

The global Switchgears industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The market is being driven by replacing old power infrastructure and increased expenditures on renewable energy. The market is expected to grow further as new industrial structures, such as powerplants, are developed for safe and dependable operations. In the industry report, the key demand indicator is the highest category spender by region—Asia Pacific.

Industry Definition and Segmentation

Switchgear is a device made up of electrical disconnect switches, fuses, and circuit breakers that control, manage, protect, and isolate electrical equipment in an electric power system. Switchgear is used to de-energise equipment so that work may be done on it and to clear faults downstream. The dependability of the electrical supply is closely related to this sort of equipment. Switchgear devices include switches, fuses, circuit breakers, isolators, relays, current, and potential transformers, indicating instruments, lightning arresters, and control panels. Effective Switchgear will activate in the case of an electrical surge, halting the flow of power and safeguarding the electrical systems from harm. Switchgear also uses Switchgear to de-energise equipment for safe testing, maintenance, and fault clearing. The Switchgears industry report comprises segments by product type (Low Voltage, Medium Voltage, High Voltage) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America).

Asia Pacific Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

The Asia Pacific is the largest market, owing to rising urbanisation, particularly in China and India. Moreover, the construction of a new substation and the improvement of existing electrical infrastructure are propelling the market. On account of increased investments and quick commercialisation across industrial projects and utility-based electrification networks, the China market is expected to grow. The region's product demand will be further complemented by a paradigm shift toward converting overhead electric lines to underground networks. The improving economic situation in some growing nations will result in the rapid growth of the grid network, bolstering the market.

The market is being driven by the rising frequency of blackouts, old infrastructure, a shortage of investment, and a lack of a defined programme for grid modernisation. With the aid of monitoring technologies, Switchgear informs the maintenance staff when aged and over-used equipment is about to fail, preventing outages. The switchgear aid inefficient energy transmission across long distances and to bigger loads, resulting in dependable switching operations. These days, air-insulated Switchgear is one of the most used types of medium-voltage Switchgear. They are made up of a mix of electrical disconnector switches, circuit breakers, and earth switches used to regulate, isolate, and safeguard electrical equipment that is insulated by air. In addition, a reliability component has been incorporated into performance-based revenue policies by several government agencies. These plans would encourage the use of Switchgear to offer end-users consistent and trouble-free service. Another factor driving switchgear market expansion is the increase in building activities throughout the world due to the increased focus on infrastructure.

However, the strict environmental and safety standards of the switchgear market are a stumbling block.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Switchgears industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Switchgear regions, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

The supply approach is completely linked to the switchgear system. It is installed on the power transformer's high and low voltage sides. It's used to turn off the power to the equipment so that it may be tested and maintained and clear the issue. When a problem in the power system occurs, a large number of current flows through the equipment, causing equipment to malfunction and the service disrupts. As a result, automated protective devices or Switchgear are necessary to protect the lines, generators, transformers, and other electrical equipment from harm. The relay and circuit breaker are the essential components of automated protective Switchgear. When a failure develops in any part of the system, the relay for that part of the system activates and closes the breaker's trip circuit, disconnecting the defective portion. The vital part continues to provide loads, resulting in no equipment damage and no complete supply disruption.

Growing Technological Advancements, Further Driving the Procurement of Switchgears

The industry is being propelled by the demand for a robust and dependable T&D network. The T&D utility section oversees electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. To meet the power demand, T&D utilities use non-renewable and renewable energy sources. Switchgear physical security covers many applications that necessitate a dependable, high-performance communications network to provide centralised monitoring and reporting. Bulk power plants that use onshore and offshore wind, solar, and hydropower are expected to boost the demand for new transmission and distribution lines, affecting the switchgear industry. The switchgear market is predicted to be dominated by Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). Gas-insulated Switchgear (GIS) is metal-encased Switchgear that includes high-voltage components, including circuit breakers and disconnectors. A GIS is most commonly utilised in limited locations, such as city buildings, office spaces, and offshore, among other places. Growing norms to reduce total carbon emissions and consumer knowledge of the benefits of renewable energy generating, such as solar, are expected to drive switchgear adoption. They are more environmentally friendly, dependable, and adaptable than Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS). In addition, GIS takes less time to set up and costs less than AIS. Increasing space restrictions and continued R&D efforts aimed at improving smart and compact control equipment will add to the industry's current situation. Continuous investments in commercial and residential enterprises, such as public and private residences, offices, and restaurants, will help to keep the demand for the product high.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Key Industry Players Mentioned in the Switchgears Industry Report
