Global High Voltage Switchgear Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies ABB, GE, Mitsubishi Electric, Siemens, and Toshiba as the key vendors in the global high voltage switchgear market. This industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by insulation type (GIS and AIS) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global high voltage switchgear market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global high voltage switchgear market will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of close to 12% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the increased demand for electricity in emerging countries as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The demand for power in developing countries are growing due to the extensive growth of their economies along with industrial development and commercialization. Additionally, these countries are also likely to become hubs for major manufacturing industries since the manufacturing sectors in these regions are showing significant potential for growth, which will in-turn lead to a high demand for electricity.

The recent years witnessed an increased demand for the rapid installation of electric substations to restore normal power supply as fast as possible in case of emergency situations. This will lead to the demand for mobile substations. The installation of such substations enables utilities to respond rapidly to outages and restore electricity services to customers. Since these substations are designed to cater to the demanding design specifications, they are uniquely flexible and mobile, which will again, fuel their demand. According to this market research and analysis, this growing adoption of mobile substations will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the high voltage switchgear market in the coming years.

Segmentation by product type and analysis of the high voltage switchgear market

• Gas insulated switchgear (GIS)
• Air insulated switchgear (AIS)

During 2016, the GIS segment accounted for the major shares and dominated the high voltage switchgear market. GIS is a compact multi-component assembly that is enclosed in a ground metallic assembly. They are widely used in heavy industrial electrical systems for transmission and control operations. Factor such as the reduction in the transmission loss will contribute to the growth of this industry segment in the coming years.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the high voltage switchgear market

• Americas
• APAC
• EMEA

This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, APAC will be the major revenue contributor to the market by 2021. This is mainly due to the rapid urbanization and improved living standards that have boosted electricity consumption in many major countries in regions, such as China and India. Additionally, expansion in transmission and distribution (T&D) network and rapid developments in both commercial and industrial infrastructures will also drive the market for transformers. Moreover, the government's emphasis on the expansion of T&D networks to improve the existing infrastructure will also fuel the growth of the high voltage switchgear market in this region.
