The switchgear market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $85.71 billion in 2023 to $92.02 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be ascribed to an increase in power consumption, supportive government initiatives, and economic growth in emerging markets.
The switchgear market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $117.86 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be linked to the increasing demand for electricity, a rise in the utilization of electricity in transportation, investments in renewable energy, growing demand for electricity in manufacturing, interest rates, the replacement of outdated switchgears, and focus on load management and balance. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period include an emphasis on digital technologies, the development of innovative products to align with the evolving needs of the power generation industry, investment in eco-efficient solutions to minimize environmental impact, the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) enabled switchgears for automated operations and energy management, promotion of automated switchgear for smart grid adoption in power generation and transmission industries, and the development and promotion of specialized switchgear for critical industries.
The switchgear market is anticipated to be driven by the growing demand for electricity generation. The availability of electricity is crucial for economic development and poverty alleviation, with industrialization and urbanization relying heavily on a consistent electricity supply. The performance of switchgear plays a pivotal role in ensuring reliable electrical supply, thereby driving the demand for switchgear in the forecast period. For instance, global electricity demand is projected to increase by 2.1% per year until 2040 in the Specified Policies Scenario, doubling the rate of primary energy growth by 2040.
The expansion of the construction industry is poised to contribute to the growth of the switchgear market. The construction industry encompasses a wide range of activities related to the planning, design, development, construction, renovation, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure. Switchgear in the construction sector facilitates electrical distribution, control, and protection for various construction sites and projects, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations. As reported by the United States Census Bureau in September 2023, the overall value of residential and non-residential construction in the US increased by over 8% between 2020 and 2021. Additionally, according to Oxford Economics in September 2021, global construction output in 2020 reached US$10.7 trillion, with a projected growth of approximately 42%, adding US$4.5 trillion and reaching a total of US$15.2 trillion by 2030. Therefore, the burgeoning construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the switchgear market.
The growing demand for the installation of electric substations to swiftly restore normal power supply in emergencies. Mobile substations have gained popularity as they facilitate the restoration of electricity under outdoor conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Functionally designed to provide temporary power supplies rapidly, these mobile substations incorporate a generator, transformer, metal-clad switchgear, outdoor load break switches, and breakers. They are used for network extensions and temporary switching stations. For instance, Siemens delivered two mobile substations for the national grid SA, while Aktif group supplied 10 mobile substations to the Ministry of Electricity in Iraq. The increasing adoption of mobile substations is a recent trend that is expected to have a positive impact on the switchgear market.
Major companies in the switchgear market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as HYpact switchgear, to enhance the reliability of electrical grids.
