Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Research Report Information by Voltage (Up to 36 kV and >36 kV), Installation (Indoor and Outdoor), End-User (Transmission & Distribution, Manufacturing, Infrastructure & Transportation), and Region - Global Forecast till 2030

Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Overview

According to the latest research report, the Gas Insulated Switchgear Market size is estimated to reach USD 30.21 Billion, at an 10.50% CAGR during forecast period 2022-2030.

Gas-insulated medium voltage switchgear is used in wind power plants. Medium voltage switchgear of up to 35 kVA is used to protect wind generators installed at remote locations. Wind farm installation is on the rise globally due to a shift toward renewable energy sources and cheaper costs than other sources of renewable energy. Since the early 2000s, renewable power generation has become significantly cheaper than diesel-fired, particularly in isolated areas with poor or non-existent infrastructure. It has led to significant growth in the demand for distributed generation through renewable sources in the industrial and commercial sectors. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2018, it was stated that the total electricity generated by renewable sources accounted for 25% of the global electricity generation. Factors such as the power industry's transformation in terms of upgrading transmission and distribution networks, rising adoption of renewable energy-based power plants, etc. However, high equipment cost compared to air-insulated switchgear, along with stringent environmental and safety regulations related to GIS, is likely to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.

The global Gas Insulated Switchgear market is anticipated to develop significantly during the forecast period, owing to increased investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure and a rise in renewable power generation. According to the OECD, worldwide energy transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure would expand from USD 282 billion in 2016 to USD 351 billion in 2026, with a compounded annual growth rate of 2.2 percent. This investment is being driven by rising energy consumption and capacity increases, particularly in growing economies that require electricity generating. China, Japan, and India are investing in grid expansion projects to improve distribution system dependability. China is an export-oriented economy that has seen a rapid increase in energy consumption over the last few decades, fuelled by industrialization and infrastructure expansion. Furthermore, India, China, and Indonesia are aggressively investing in hydroelectric power projects. This has resulted in increased expenditures in the transmission and distribution sectors by linking renewable energy sources to the grid, which are likely to fuel the growth of the Asia Pacific gas-insulated switchgear market outlook.

Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Covid 19 Analysis

COVID-19 will have a negative impact since production facilities and current projects have been shut down as a result of the lockdown; this is likely to have a negative influence on demand for gas-insulated switchgear market value. Manufacturers are unable to generate SF6 as a result of COVID-19, further delaying the production of gas-insulated switchgear. The epidemic has resulted in a global lockdown to prevent it from spreading further. This has put a halt to all active projects, and any delays in completion will hurt the gas-insulated switchgear industry.

Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Competitive Landscape

The power sector is investing heavily in T&D infrastructure, with a total expenditure of USD 3.2 trillion planned for the next decade. Growing electricity consumption, aging infrastructure, and planned power production projects, including an emphasis on renewable energy, necessitate more investment in T&D. Global players are substantially investing in T&D equipment, particularly gas-insulated switchgear, in response to rising demand for electronic systems. All of these reasons are expected to increase demand for the gas insulated switchgear industry.
