The rapid urbanization and growing number of IoT for home and smart building automation consume massive energy. Thus, monitoring and optimizing the use of energy for automation purposes is expected to drive market growth. Moreover, to optimize energy consumption adoption of renewable energy resources and the installation of solar panels are also bolstering the market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the growth of the market. The lack of raw materials in the production units delayed the production of gas insulated components and led to disruption in the supply chains haltering the market growth. Moreover, many industrial and commercial projects were standstill owing to the global lockdown, which hampered market growth.

Many end-use industries are adopting GIS owing to cheap maintenance and high dependability. Still, this switchgear requires high equipment costs and emits Sulphur hexafluoride, which is harmful to the environment. Government stringent regulation on environmental and safety standards is restraining the market growth.

Outdoor segment accounted for the largest share in 2021

The outdoor segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 owing to its several outdoor applications, such as power transmission, development of large power units, and transmission of ultra-high voltage power to various end-use industries.

In addition, the deployment of this insulated switchgear is done in substations and switchyards where there is enormous space for installation, which is expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, the increasing electricity demand has led to investments in transmission and distribution networks supporting the segment’s growth.

SF6 free segment is expected to spearhead the market growth

The demand for the SF6 free is driven by the rising demand for environment-friendly products in various commercial and industrial sectors. In addition, rising consumer awareness about the damage caused by Sulphur hexafluoride led to development of reliable, efficient and sustainable switchgear expected to drive market growth.

Moreover, many key players focus on developing green solutions to meet present and future energy requirements. For instance, Schneider Electric launched its new green and medium voltage switchgear named SM AirSeT, which uses pure air and vacuum rather than SF6 for secondary electric distribution.

Above 220 kV is anticipated to lead the market over the forecast period

The growing demand for such ultra-high voltage power is expected to be driven by rapid urbanization and growing investments in electrical transmission. In addition, large thermal substations and nuclear power generation plants require voltage above 220kV for power transmission and distribution, which is expected to drive the segment growth. Moreover, growing power generation substations in various emerging nations are essential to the segment's growth.

Hybrid configuration is expected to witness fastest growth

The demand for hybrid configuration is expected to see a significant surge over the forecast period owing to its compact size and low maintenance. In addition, hybrid switchgear has both utilities that are air-insulated switchgear (AIS) interfaced with gas insulated switchgear (GIS) which has a simplified layout and is highly reliable, which is expected to accelerate the market growth.

Moreover, this condensed switchgear is used in the renovation and extension of AIS-based switchgear substations, which bolsters market growth.

Power distribution utilities is expected to account for the largest share in 2030

The power distribution utilities segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period owing to the increasing population growth and their rising electricity consumption and government investment to distribute power in underdeveloped rural areas. In addition, the adoption of both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy to meet the requirement of electricity is also expected to propel the segment growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate and witness fastest growth over the forecast period

Asia Pacific is the largest region for gas insulated switchgear and is expected to witness faster growth over the forecast period owing to the rapid industrialization in the region, such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India.

In addition, increasing investment in transmission and distribution projects across developing nations is also supporting market growth. Moreover, replacing conventional insulated switchgear with clean power generation switchgear to improve efficiency is expected to drive market growth.
