Product Types in the Pad-Mounted Switchgear

The pad-mounted switchgear market, based on product type, can be categorised into air insulated, solid dielectric, and gas insulated, among others. Among these product types, the solid dielectric segment is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to the less environmentally harmful aspect of it. These switchgears are increasingly being implemented to replace SF6 equipments.

SF6, also known as sulphur hexafluoride gas, is a key component of gas insulated switchgears and a greenhouse gas that has much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Numerous utilities have started to replace them with solid dielectric switchgears which utilise epoxy as their insulation medium. Thus, the demand for solid dielectric switchgears is likely to surge with growing environmental concerns.

Regional Market Developments for Pad-Mounted Switchgears

The market for pad-mounted switchgears is spread across the North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

Among these, the Asia Pacific region is likely to the most remarkable growth during the forecast period owing to the rapid industrialisation and urbanisation. With increasing development, governments are implementing number of plans to increase power generation and capacity to meet the rising demand for electricity. In addition, plans to replace or refurbish aging power distribution systems can further enhance the market development.
